As David neared the end of his life, he calls Solomon to himself and gives him some final instructions recorded in 1 Kings 2:1-10. It starts out how you’d maybe expect, with David admonishing Solomon to be careful to keep God’s commands as written in the Law of Moses. In verse 5, however, it takes a kind of unexpected course and David begins telling Solomon which guys to bump off and which guys to eat with.
What’s going on? Is David settling old scores? Cleaning house? How can he in one breath say, “Obey God”, and in the next, “Make sure you kill the guys who cursed me?”
