1 Kings 15:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father.
4 But for David’s sake did the Lord his God give him a [a]light in Jerusalem, and set up his son after him, and established Jerusalem,
5 Because David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and turned from nothing that he commanded him all the days of his life, (A)save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

1 Kings 15:3-5
New International Version
3 He committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted(A) to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been. 4 Nevertheless, for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp(B) in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and by making Jerusalem strong. 5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord and had not failed to keep(C) any of the Lord’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah(D) the Hittite.
