As David nears death, he passes the torch of leadership to Solomon with two key priorities: walk with God wholeheartedly and use wisdom in leadership. David urges Solomon to obey God’s Word fully, knowing that true and lasting success comes only from faithfulness. He also warns Solomon about unfinished business—confronting traitors like Joab and Shimei—while honoring loyal friends like Barzillai. Solomon follows through with justice and discernment, securing his reign by removing threats and rewarding faithfulness. This lesson reminds us that leadership is grounded in devotion to God and that passing on a godly legacy requires both courage and commitment.
