When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son.

When David’s time to die drew near, he commanded Solomon his son, saying,

As the time of King David’s death approached, he gave this charge to his son Solomon:

As the time approached for David to die, he ordered his son Solomon,

As David’s time to die drew near, he commanded his son Solomon, saying,

Now the days of David drew near that he should die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying:

Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

As the time approached for David to die, he instructed his son Solomon,

Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

When David was close to death, he told Solomon his son:

Now the days of David came near that he should die; and he commanded Solomon his son, saying,

The time came near for Israel to die. So he sent for his son Joseph. He said to him,“ If you are pleased with me, put your hand under my thigh. Promise me that you will be kind and faithful to me. Don’t bury me in Egypt.

The Lord said to Moses,“ The day when you will die is near. Have Joshua go to the tent of meeting. Join him there. That is where I will appoint him as the new leader.” So Joshua and Moses went to the tent of meeting.

Have him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and the whole community. Put him in charge while everyone is watching.

God gives life to everything. Christ Jesus told the truth when he was a witness in front of Pontius Pilate. In the sight of God and Christ, I give you a command.

I think it is right for me to remind you. It is right as long as I live in this tent. I’m talking about my body.I know my tent will soon be removed. Our Lord Jesus Christ has made that clear to me.I hope that you will always be able to remember these things after I’m gone. I will try very hard to see that you do.

Here is the blessing that Moses, the man of God, gave to the Israelites before he died.

Keep watch over yourselves. Keep watch over all the believers. The Holy Spirit has made you leaders over them. Be shepherds of God’s church. He bought it with his own blood.I know that after I leave, wild wolves will come in among you. They won’t spare any of the sheep.Even men from your own people will rise up and twist the truth. They want to get the believers to follow them.So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning you. Night and day I warned each of you with tears.

The Lord gave a command to Joshua, the son of Nun. He said,“ Be strong and brave. You will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them. I myself will be with you.”

I give you a command in the sight of God and Christ Jesus. Christ will judge the living and the dead. Because he and his kingdom are coming, here is the command I give you.

I am already being poured out like a drink offering. The time when I will leave is near.

So appoint Joshua as the new leader. Help him to be brave. Give him hope and strength. He will take these people across the Jordan. You will see the land. But he will lead them into it to take it as their own.”

My son Timothy, I am giving you this command. It is in keeping with the prophecies once made about you. By remembering them, you can fight the battle well.
