Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 15 of 1 Kings. Abijah reigns over Judah, and the narrator evaluates his conduct in contrast with David. Although his heart was not perfect, God preserves a lamp for David in Jerusalem because of the covenant. The image of the lamp represents dynastic continuity. The passage shows that the permanence of David’s house ultimately depends on God’s faithfulness, even when some descendants fail to reach the expected ideal.

darum daß David getan hatte, was dem HERRN wohl gefiel, und nicht gewichen war von allem, was er ihm gebot sein Leben lang, außer dem Handel mit Uria, dem Hethiter.
Por cuanto David había hecho lo recto ante los ojos de Jehová, y de ninguna cosa que le mandase se había apartado en todos los días de su vida, excepto el negocio de Uría Hetheo.
Porque David había hecho lo recto ante los ojos de Jehová y durante toda su vida no se había apartado de nada de lo que él le había mandado, salvo en el asunto de Urías, el hitita.
Car David avait fait ce qui est droit aux yeux de l'Eternel, et il ne s'était détourné d'aucun de ses commandements pendant toute sa vie, excepté dans l'affaire d'Urie, le Héthien.
Perciocchè Davide avea fatto ciò che piace al Signore, e non si era, in tutto il tempo della vita sua, rivolto da qualunque cosa egli gli avea comandata, salvo nel fatto d’Uria Hitteo.
Porquanto Davi tinha feito o que era reto aos olhos do SENHOR, e não se tinha desviado de tudo quanto lhe ordenara em todos os dias da sua vida, senão só no negócio de Urias, o heteu.
因為 大衛 除了 赫 人 烏利亞 那件事,都行耶和華眼中看為正的事,一生沒有違背耶和華一切所吩咐的。
