1 Kings 3:14
"And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And if thou wilt walk in my ways,.... Prescribed and directed to in his word, to keep my statutes and my commandments; ceremonial, moral, and judicial: as thy father David

did walk; which Solomon himself had observed, Kg1 3:6 ; and whose walk was worthy of his imitation: then I will lengthen thy days; the other promises of riches and honour are absolute, but this of long life conditional, depending upon his holy walk and conversation; and hence, because he failed in this the Jews observe he did not attain to long life, dying, as they suppose, at fifty two years of age; which is grounded on a wrong hypothesis, that he was but twelve years of age when he he began to reign, and he reigned forty years, as before observed.
