If David and Solomon were such wise men, why did David merely reach the age of 63, and his son merely six years more? Did they not follow the principles of good health - or their own teachings?
Was it a result of their moral falls, even though God granted them forgiveness?
"Here is a last piece of advice. If you believe in goodness and if you value the approval of God, fix your minds on the things which are holy and right and pure and beautiful and good. Model your conduct on what you have learned from me, on what I have told you and shown you, and you will find the God of peace will be with you."
