"And if you walk in My ways and obey My statutes and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life." 1 Kings 3:14 (NIV)
The Lord said to King Solomon, after the death of his father King David, that if Solomon walked in His ways and kept His statutes and commandments as David did, then He would bless him with a long life.
King David was said to be a man after God's own heart. David was not perfect, he sinned just like every other man, but he prayed frequently and asked God for forgiveness. David followed and obeyed The Lord. Since God is not a respecter of persons and does not show favoritism, (Acts 10:34), if we were more like David and walked in His ways, and obeyed Him, maybe we would also be blessed with a long life as He promised Solomon.
