Albert Barnes Commentary 1 Kings 9:4

"And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;" — 1 Kings 9:4 (ASV)

See 1 Kings 3:14. Solomon’s subsequent fall gives these repeated warnings a special interest.
