1 Kings 2:4 in Context — 1 Kings 2
2 Eu vou pelo caminho de toda a terra: esforça-te, e sê homem.
3 Guarda a ordenança do SENHOR teu Deus, andando em seus caminhos, e observando seus estatutos e mandamentos, e seus direitos e seus testemunhos, da maneira que está escrito na lei de Moisés, para que sejas bem-sucedido em tudo o que fizeres, e em tudo aquilo a que te voltares.
4 Para que confirme o SENHOR a palavra que me falou, dizendo: Se teus filhos guardarem seu caminho, andando diante de mim com verdade, de todo seu coração, e de toda sua alma, jamais, disse, faltará a ti homem do trono de Israel.
5 E já sabes tu o que me fez Joabe filho de Zeruia, o que fez a dois generais do exército de Israel, a Abner filho de Ner, e a Amasa filho de Jéter, os quais ele matou, derramando em paz o sangue de guerra, e pondo o sangue de guerra em seu cinto que tinha em sua cintura, e nos sapatos que tinha em seus pés.
6 Tu, pois, farás conforme a tua sabedoria; não o deixarás descer ao Xeol na velhice em paz.
