# As for you Here "you" refers to King Solomon. # if you walk before me as David your father walked Here walking is a metaphor for living. Walking before God represents living in obedience to him. Alternate translation: "If you obey me as David your father did" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) # David your father Solomon was one of David's sons. # keeping my statutes and my decrees "obeying my statutes and my decrees"
