Nu Heer, God van Isral, houd uwen knecht, mijnen vader David, wat Gij tot hem gesproken hebt, zeggende: Geen man zal u voor Mij ontbreken om op den troon van Isral te zitten, indien slechts uwe zonen hunnen weg bewaren, dat zij voor Mij wandelen, gelijk gij voor Mij gewandeld hebt.
En nu HEERE, God van Israel, houd Uw knecht, mijn vader David, wat Gij tot hem gesproken hebt, zeggende: Geen man zal u van voor Mijn aangezicht afgesneden worden, die op den troon van Israel zitte; alleenlijk zo uw zonen hun weg bewaren, om te wandelen voor Mijn aangezicht, gelijk als gij gewandeld hebt voor Mijn aangezicht.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him,.... That as he had fulfilled one part of his promise respecting himself, his immediate successor, so that he would fulfil the other respecting his more remote offspring:
saying, there shall not fail thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel; one of David's posterity to inherit his throne and kingdom, but with this proviso:
so that thy children takes heed to their way; in what way they walk, and how they walk in it:
that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me; meaning as David walked, see Psalms 132:11.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Solomonâs prayer is, perhaps, generally for the fulfillment of all the promises made to David in connection with the building of the temple. But there seems to be special allusion in this verse to the promise recorded in Psalms 132:14.
