There is enough contained in these words to silence every skeptic in regard to God’s sanctioning the sins of David and Solomon. God was merciful to them according as they walked before him in truth, righteousness, and uprightness of heart. Just according to their faithfulness, God dealt with them. {1SP 395.2}

De er nok i disse ord til at fortie enhver skepsis over for Guds billigelse over for Davids og Salomons synder. Gud var barmhjertig imod dem efter som de vandrede for ham i sandhed, retfærdighed, og hjertets oprigtighed. Gud behandlede dem efter deres trofasthed.
