1Kings 2:1-4, When the days drew nigh that David should die, in his declining years, and health. He name Solomon his Son with Bathsheba as his Successor, after his death.And he charged Solomon his Son, saying, Be Strong therefore, and show yourself a Man;and keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, and His Commandments,and His Judgments,and His testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turns' thyself and thy Children should take heed to there ways to walk before ME, [SAYS THE [LORD,] in truth with all there hearts, and soul, there shall never fail thee a Man on the throne. Solomon Make a good start; when he ask God, in 1Kings 3: God Spoke to Solomon in a dream,He ask God for an understanding heart to judge His people,his speech please the Lord and God said, because thou hast not asked for thyself long life; or riches are the life of thy enemies; I have done according to thy words:and also given thee a wise and understanding heart;
But Solomon reign ends with the Kingdom divided; even the most Blessed person can make big mistakes when they ceased to walk the way God Command;,and can reap terrible consequences. Solomon make wise judgment in many ways. Because God blessed him with wisdom and understanding exceeding much, of those around; him.but his blessings came with a promise: Solomon Loved the Lord;and he make a great start.But a good start is not enough God’s command are not just suggestion:it is a covenant with God that would result in blessings for the Nation and a departure from it would bring judgment to the Nation that was a promise from God to David and his family that the kingdom would not be divided. David held closely to the covenant as long as he was king: loyalty to God’s Covenant was always a requirement; not disobedient.
