David wishes to impart to his son

David wishes to impart to his son as follows:
1. Torah – Your spiritual orientation is of prime importance. It is this factor that will determine the success or failure of Shlomo personally and, more globally, of the royal House of David.
2. Yoav – Beware of governmental forces that express disloyalty, attempting to manipulate the national agenda. Be prepared to take action to eliminate them.
3. Barzilai Ha-Giladi – Reward loyal allies who support you in times of crisis. Hold them close.
4. Shimi – Beware of influential leaders who try to arouse old tribal divisions. They can cause a great deal of harm.
