Commentary on 1 Kings 2:4

Theological / Devotional

May continue his word. God’s original promise was made to David through Nathan the prophet (2 Sam. 7:11-17), and later, it seems, directly to David himself (Ps. 89:3, 4). The promise was that David’s house and his kingdom would be established forever. The fulfillment of this promise to the children of David was on condition of continued obedience to God’s commands (Ps. 132:12). David reminds Solomon of these conditions in order to encourage continued fidelity on his part and obedience to the Lord’s commands.
