Verse 7 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Kings. David gives Solomon final instructions concerning the government and specific people who played decisive roles during his reign. He commands him to walk in the ways of the Lord and keep his commandments, linking the stability of the dynasty to covenant obedience. At the same time, David recalls unresolved matters involving Joab, Shimei, and the sons of Barzillai. The speech combines spiritual, political, and family responsibility.
