1 Kings 15:3-5
Living Bible
3 He was as great a sinner as his father was, and his heart was not right with God, as King David’s was. 4 But despite Abijam’s sin, the Lord remembered David’s love[a] and did not end the line of David’s royal descendants. 5 For David had obeyed God during his entire life except for the affair concerning Uriah the Hittite.

- 1 Kings 15:4 the Lord remembered David’s love, literally, “for David’s sake.”
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.
