1 Chronicles 22:17–19, “David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people. Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.”
King David knew that he was going to die but he was wise. He knew that, at that stage, Solomon his son was sill young so he asked all his advisors to take care of Solomon and help him. It is important for us to remember that no one is irreplaceable. When someone is in a position of leadership they should always take care to plan succession and make sure that there are other people who can continue with the leadership of the organisation. Everybody can expect to die at some stage and, usually, before we believe that we are ready.
