17 When Aʹbram got to be ninety-nine years old, then Jehovah appeared to Aʹbram and said to him:+ “I am God Almighty.*+ Walk before me and prove yourself faultless.+

4 in order that Jehovah may carry out his word that he spoke respecting me,+ saying, ‘If your sons+ will take care of their way by walking+ before me in truth*+ with all their heart+ and with all their soul, there will not be cut off a man of yours from [sitting] upon the throne of Israel.’+

6 At this Solʹo·mon said: “You yourself have exercised great loving-kindness*+ toward your servant David my father according as he walked before you in truth and in righteousness+ and in uprightness of heart with you; and you continued keeping toward him this great loving-kindness, so that you gave him a son to sit* upon his throne as at this day.+

6 They both were righteous+ before God because of walking blamelessly+ in accord with all the commandments+ and legal+ requirements of Jehovah.*+
