shewing thyself a man/approved unto God and being charged as David charged Solomon to carry out certain tasks as he named names of those who turned away from him and Paul charged Timothy as well; 

it mentions the foundation of the house of God as well as the significance of the vessels of honour with gold and silver and dishonour; 

Ahab coveted a vineyard and Paul named covetousness as one of the attributes of turning away from God; 

despising those that are good as Micaiah was despised by king Ahab since he always prophesied against him;
