Kings I 9:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 9:4

And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in
integrity of heart, and in uprightness.
&c.] Who, though guilty of many sins and failings in life, yet was sincere and upright in the worship of God, never apostatized from it, or fell into idolatry, which is what is chiefly respected:

to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my
statutes and my judgments;
observe all the laws of God, moral, ceremonial, and judicial.

5 And when they came to Siph, then Saul said to his young man that was with him, Come and let us return, lest my father leave the asses, and take care for us.

6 And the young man said to him, Behold now, a man of God in this city, and the man of high repute; all that he shall speak will surely come to pass: now then let us go, that he may tell us our way on which we have set out.
