• 1 રાજા દાઉદના જીવનનો અંત જયારે નજીક આવ્યો ત્યારે; તેણે પોતાના પુત્ર સુલેમાંનને બોલાવ્યો અને તેને આ પ્રમાંણે હુકમ કર્યો:
• 2 “જગતના સૌ માંનવીઓને જયાં જવાનું છે ત્યાં હું પણ હવે જાઉં છું. તું બળવાન બનજે અને વીરની જેમ વર્તજે.
• 3 તમાંરા દેવ યહોવાએ તમને જેનું પાલન કરવા કહ્યું છે તેનું પૂર્ણ પાલન કરજે. મૂસાના નિયમશાસ્રમાં લખેલી દેવ યહોવાના પ્રત્યેક કાનૂન અને આજ્ઞાને આધીન થજે, જેથી તું જે કામ કરે ને જયાં જાય ત્યાં તેમાં તને સફળતા પ્રાપ્ત થાય.
• 4 જો તું એમ કરીશ તો યહોવા મને આપેલું વચન પાળશે, યહોવાએ મને કહ્યું છે, ‘જો તારા પુત્રો ધ્યાનપૂર્વક વફાદારીથી અને સાચા અંત:કરણથી મને અનુસરશે તો ઇસ્રાએલનો રાજા સદા તમાંરા પરિવારમાંથી જ આવશે,”‘
• 5 “સરૂયાના પુત્ર યોઆબે માંરી સાથે કેવો વર્તાવ રાખ્યો હતો તે તું જાણે છે, તને ખબર નથી કે તેણે ઇસ્રાએલી લશ્કરના બે સેનાપતિ નેરનો પુત્ર આબ્નેર અને યેથેરના પુત્ર અમાંસાને માંરી નાખ્યા હતા? યુદ્ધમાં તે બનેલો બનાવ હતો એવો તેણે દેખાવ કર્યો હતો, પણ હકીકતમાં એ કૃત્ય શાંતિના સમયમાં કરવામાં આવ્યું હતું. અને તેની તરવારબંધ અને પગરખાને નિદોર્ષના લોહીથી કલંકિત કર્યા હતાં.
• 6 તું તારા ડહાપણ અનુસાર કામ કરજે, અને તેને શાંતિપૂર્વક મરવા દેતો નહિ.
• 7 “પરંતુ ગિલયાદના બાઝિર્લ્લાયના પરિવાર પ્રતિ સદા મિત્રભાવ રાખજે, તેમને પણ ભોજન સમયે તારી સાથે રાખજે, કારણ કે હું જયારે તારા ભાઈ આબ્શાલોમથી ભાગતો ફરતો હતો, ત્યારે તેઓ માંરા પ્રત્યે વફાદાર રહ્યાં હતા, અને માંરી સારસંભાળ રાખી હતી.
• 8 “બાહૂરીમનો બિન્યામીની જાતિના ગેરાનો પુત્ર શિમઈ હજી તારી સાથે છે, હું માંહનાઈમ ગયો ત્યારે તેણે મને ભારે શાપ આપ્યો હતો, પણ યર્દન નદી આગળ મળવા આવ્યો હતો અને મેં તેને યહોવાને નામે સોગંદ ખાઈને વચન આપ્યું હતું કે, હું તેને માંરી તરવારથી માંરીશ નહિ.
• 9 પરંતુ હવે તારે એને સજા વગર જવા દેવો નહિ, તું સમજુ છે અને એની સાથે કેમ કામ પાર પાડવું એ તને સમજાઈ રહેશે, ખાતરી કરજે કે તે વેદનાપૂર્ણ મૃત્યુથી મરે.”
• 10 પછી દાઉદનું અવસાન થયું અને તેને દાઉદના નગરમાં દફનાવવામાં આવ્યો.
• 11 તેણે ઇસ્રાએલ પર ચાળીસ વર્ષ રાજય કર્યુ સાત વર્ષ હેબ્રોનથી અને તેત્રીસ વર્ષ યરૂશાલેમથી.
• 12 પછી તેના પિતા દાઉદને સ્થાને સુલેમાંને રાજગાદી સંભાળી; તેણે રાજ્ય પર કાબૂ મેળવ્યો હતો, તેનો રાજ્ય પરનો કાબૂ મજબૂત બન્યો.
• 13 એક વખત હાગ્ગીથના પુત્ર અદોનિયાએ સુલેમાંનની માંતા બાથશેબા પાસે જઈને તેણે પ્રણામ કર્યા. બાથશેબાએ પૂછયું, “તું શાંતિથી આવ્યો છે?” તેણે જવાબ આપ્યો, “હા, હું શાંતિપૂર્વક આવ્યો છું.
• 14 એટલે તેણે કહ્યું, માંરે તમને એક વાત કરવી છે, બાથશેબાએ કહ્યું “તમાંરે શું કહેવું છે?”
• 15 એટલે તેણે જવાબ આપ્યો, “તમે જાણો છો કે રાજગાદી મને મળવી જોઈતી હતી અને સમગ્ર ઇસ્રાએલ હું રાજા થઈશ એવી અપેક્ષા રાખતું હતું; પણ તેને બદલે રાજગાદી મને ટાળીને માંરા ભાઈને મળી છે, તેને યહોવાએ તે આપી.
• 16 અને હવે માંરે તમને એક વિનંતી કરવાની છે. કૃપા કરીને તમે ના ન પાડશો,” બાથશેબાએ પૂછયું, “તો શુંં?”
• 17 તેથી અદોનિયાએ જવાબ આપ્યો, “તમે મહેરબાની કરી સુલેમાંનને પૂછો, મને અબીશાગ સાથે પરણવાની રજા આપે. તમને તે ના પાડશે નહિ.”
• 18 એટલે બાથશેબાએ કહ્યું, “સારું, હું રાજાને વાત કરીશ.”
• 19 પછી બાથશેબા અદોનિયા વિષે વાત કરવા રાજા સુલેમાંન પાસે ગઈ. અને આવકાર આપવા રાજા ઊભો થઇને પગે લાગ્યો, પછી પાછો રાજ્યાસન પર બેઠો, રાજાએ તેની માંતા માંટે પણ એક આસન લાવવાનો હુકમ કર્યો અને તેણી તેની જમણી બાજુ બેઠી.
• 20 પછી તેણે કહ્યું, “માંરે તને એક નાની વિનંતી કરવાની છે, ના પાડતો નહિ.”રાજાએ કહ્યું, “કહો, શી વિનંતી છે. માંતાજી? હુ ના નહિ પાડું.”
• 21 બાથશેબાએ કહ્યું, “શૂનામ્મી અબીશાગનાં લગ્ન તારા ભાઈ અદોનિયા સાથે થાય તો સારું,”
• 22 રાજા સુલેમાંને તેની માંતાને કહ્યું, “તમે એમ શું કામ પૂછો છો કે, શૂનામ્મી અબીશાગનાં લગ્ન અદોનિયા સાથે થાય! માંરા રાજ્ય માંટે પૂછો, તે એના માંટે પૂછયા બરોબર છે? કારણ, એ માંરો મોટો ભાઈ છે. અને યાજક અબ્યાથાર અને સરૂયા નો પુત્ર યોઆબે તેને ટેકો આપ્યો.”
• 23 રાજા સુલેમાંને સમ લીધા, યહોવા મને દંડ આપે સિવાય કે, “અદોનિયા આ વિનંતી કરવા માંટે પોતાનો જીવ આપે!
• 24 જે યહોવાએ મને માંરાં પિતા દાઉદની ગાદી પર સ્થિર કરીને સ્થાપ્યો છે, અને જેણે વચન આપ્યા પ્રમાંણે માંરા વંશની સ્થાપના કરી છે. તેના સમ ખાઈને હું કહું છું કે, અદોનિયાને આજે જ મોતને હવાલે કરવામાં આવશે.”
• 25 તેથી સુલેમાંને યહોયાદાના પુત્ર બનાયાને આજ્ઞા કરી, અદોનિયાને માંરી નાખવાની.
• 26 પછી અબ્યાથાર યાજકને રાજાએ કહ્યું, “તું તારે ઘેર અનાથોથ જતો રહે. તું મૃત્યુદંડને જ લાયક છે; પણ હું તને માંરી નાખીશ નહિ. કારણ કે તેં દેવ યહોવાનો પવિત્રકોશ માંરા પિતા દાઉદ સમક્ષ ઉચક્યો હતો અને તેમનાં બધાં કષ્ટોમાં તેં ભાગ પડાવ્યો હતો.”
• 27 આમ સુલેમાંને યહોવાના યાજકપદેથી અબ્યાથારને પદષ્ટ કર્યો. આમ એલી યાજકના વંશજો વિષે યહોવાએ શીલોહમાં જે વાણી ઉચ્ચારી હતી તે સાચી પાડી.
• 28 જયારે યોઆબને આ સમાંચાર મળ્યા ત્યારે, તે યહોવાના મંડપ પવિત્રસ્થાનમાં ભાગી ગયો. અને વેદીનાં શિંગ પકડી લીધાં; કારણ, તેણે અદોનિયાનો પક્ષ લીધો હતો. જો કે આબ્શાલોમનો પક્ષ લીધો નહોતો.
• 29 રાજા સુલેમાંનને સમાંચાર મળ્યા કે, “યોઆબ યહોવાના પવિત્રમંડપમાં ભાગી ગયો છે, અને ત્યાં વેદી પાસે છે. ત્યારે સુલેમાંને યહોયાદાના પુત્ર બનાયાને મોકલીને કહ્યું કે, “જા, તેને પૂરો કર.”
• 30 એટલે બનાયાએ યહોવાના મંડપમાં જઈને કહ્યું, “તને રાજાનો હુકમ છે કે બહાર આવ.”પરંતુ યોઆબે કહ્યું, “ના, હું તો અહીં જ મરીશ.”બનાયાએ રાજાને સમાંચાર આપ્યા કે, યોઆબે મને આમ કહ્યું અને આવો જવાબ આપ્યો,
• 31 તેથી રાજાએ કહ્યું, “તેના કહ્યા પ્રમાંણે કર. તેને પૂરો કરીને દફનાવી દે; અને મને અને માંરા કુટુંબને, નિદોર્ષ લોકોને માંરીને યોઆબે કરેલા ગુનાહમાંથી મુકત કર.
• 32 યહોવા એણે કરેલા ખૂનનું પાપ એને પોતાને માંથે નાખશે; કારણ, એણે બે નિદોર્ષ માંણસો કે જે તેના કરતા વધારે સારા હતા, તેને માંરી નાખ્યા હતા, માંરા પિતા જાણતા નહોતા કે યોઆબે ઇસ્રાએલના સેનાધિપતિ નેરનો પુત્ર આબ્નેરનું અને યહૂદિયાના સેનાધિપતિ યેથેરના પુત્ર અમાંસાનું ખૂન કર્યુ હતું.
• 33 યોઆબ અને તેનાં સંતાનોને માંથે એમના રકતનું પાપ કાયમ રહો, પણ દાઉદને અને તેનાં વંશજોને અને તેના વંશને અને તેની રાજગાદીને યહોવા સદા સુખશાંતિ આપો.”
• 34 તેથી યહોયાદાના પુત્ર બનાયાએ જઇને યોઆબને માંરી નાખ્યો. તેના ઘર પાસે તેને વગડામાં દફનાવવામાં આવ્યો.
• 35 પછી રાજાએ યોઆબને બદલે યહોયાદાના પુત્ર બનાયાને લશ્કરના સેનાધિપતિ તરીકે અને યાજક તરીકે; અબ્યાથારને બદલે સાદોકની નિમણૂંક કરી.
• 36 એ પછી રાજાએ શિમઇને તેડાવી મંગાવ્યો અને કહ્યું, “તું યરૂશાલેમમાં ઘર બંધાવીને ત્યાં રહે, યરૂશાલેમ છોડીને તારે બીજે જવાનું નથી.
• 37 જે દિવસે તું શહેર છોડીને કિદ્રોનનું નાળું ઓળંગીશ તે દિવસે જરૂર તારું મોત થવાનું. અને તારા મોત માંટે તું જ જવાબદાર ગણાશે.”
• 38 શિમઇએ રાજાને કહ્યું, “સારું, હું આપ નામદારની આજ્ઞા મુજબ વતીર્શ,” અને લાંબા વખત સુધી શિમઇ યરૂશાલેમમાં જ રહ્યો.
• 39 પણ ત્રણ વરસ પછી તેના બે ગુલામો ગાથના રાજા માંઅખાહના દીકરા આખીશ પાસે ભાગી ગયા. જયારે શિમઇને કહેવામાં આવ્યું કે, તારા ગુલામો ગાથમાં છે.
• 40 ત્યારે શિમઇ તુરંત જ ગધેડા પર જીન નાખીને ગુલામોની શોધમાં ગાથમાં આખીશ પાસે જવા ગયો. પછી તે તેઓને ગાથમાંથી પાછા લાવ્યો.
• 41 જયારે રાજા સુલેમાંનને સમાંચાર મળ્યા કે, “શિમઇ યરૂશાલેમથી ગાથ ગયો હતો; અને પાછો આવી ગયો છે,”
• 42 પછી માંણસ મોકલીને તેણે તેને બોલાવડાવ્યો અને કહ્યું, “મેં તને યહોવાના સમ નહોતા લેવડાવ્યા, મેં તને સખત ચેતવણી નહોતી આપી કે, તું જે દિવસે શહેર છોડીને બીજે જશે તે દિવસે જરૂર મોંત આવ્યું સમજજે!’ અને તેં કહ્યું હતું કે, “સારું, હું એ પ્રમાંણે કરીશ.”
• 43 તો પછી તેં યહોવાના સમ ખાઈને આપેલું વચન કેમ પાળ્યું નહિ, અને માંરી આજ્ઞાનું ઉલ્લંઘન કેમ કર્યું?
• 44 માંરા પિતા દાઉદ સાથે તેં જે દુષ્ટ વ્યવહાર કર્યો હતો તે તું બરાબર જાણે છે. યહોવા તને તારાં એ દુષ્ટ કૃત્યો માંટે સજા કરશે;
• 45 પણ રાજા સુલેમાંન આશીર્વાદિત હશે અને દાઉદની ગાદી યહોવાની હાજરીમાં સદાયને માંટે મજબૂત રીતે સ્થાપિત રહેશે.”
• 46 ત્યારબાદ યહોયાદાના પુત્ર બનાયાએ રાજાની આજ્ઞા પ્રમાંણે શિમઇને બહાર લઈ જઈને માંરી નાખ્યો. આમ, સુલેમાંનની સત્તા સ્થાપીત થઈ.

• 33 આખી પૃથ્વી અને આકાશ નાશ પામશે, પણ મેં જે શબ્દો કહ્યા છે તેનો નાશ કદાપિ થશે નહિ!

1 Kings 2:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46

• 1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
• 2 I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;
• 3 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
• 4 That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
• 5 Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
• 6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.
• 7 But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
• 8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
• 9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.
• 10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
• 11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
• 12 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
• 13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
• 14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.
• 15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.
• 16 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
• 17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
• 18 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
• 19 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
• 20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.
• 21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
• 22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
• 23 Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
• 24 Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
• 25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
• 26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
• 27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
• 28 Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
• 29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
• 30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
• 31 And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
• 32 And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
• 33 Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.
• 34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
• 35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
• 36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
• 37 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
• 38 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
• 39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.
• 40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
• 41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
• 42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.
• 43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
• 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;
• 45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
• 46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

• 2 I ^H595 go ^H1980 the way ^H1870 of all ^H3605 the earth: ^H776 be thou strong ^H2388 therefore , and show ^H1961 thyself a man; ^H376

• 5 Moreover ^H1571 thou ^H859 knowest ^H3045 also ^H853 what ^H834 Joab ^H3097 the son ^H1121 of Zeruiah ^H6870 did ^H6213 to me, and what ^H834 he did ^H6213 to the two ^H8147 captains ^H8269 of the hosts ^H6635 of Israel, ^H3478 unto Abner ^H74 the son ^H1121 of Ner, ^H5369 and unto Amasa ^H6021 the son ^H1121 of Jether, ^H3500 whom he slew, ^H2026 and shed ^H7760 the blood ^H1818 of war ^H4421 in peace, ^H7965 and put ^H5414 the blood ^H1818 of war ^H4421 upon his girdle ^H2290 that ^H834 was about his loins, ^H4975 and in his shoes ^H5275 that ^H834 were on his feet. ^H7272
• 6 Do ^H6213 therefore according to thy wisdom, ^H2451 and let not ^H3808 his hoar head ^H7872 go down ^H3381 to the grave ^H7585 in peace. ^H7965
• 7 But show ^H6213 kindness ^H2617 unto the sons ^H1121 of Barzillai ^H1271 the Gileadite, ^H1569 and let them be ^H1961 of those that eat ^H398 at thy table: ^H7979 for ^H3588 so ^H3651 they came ^H7126 to ^H413 me when I fled ^H1272 because ^{H4480 H6440} of Absalom ^H53 thy brother. ^H251
• 8 And, behold, ^H2009 thou hast with ^H5973 thee Shimei ^H8096 the son ^H1121 of Gera, ^H1617 a Benjamite ^H1145 of Bahurim ^{H4480 H980} , which ^H1931 cursed ^H7043 me with a grievous ^H4834 curse ^H7045 in the day ^H3117 when I went ^H1980 to Mahanaim: ^H4266 but he ^H1931 came down ^H3381 to meet ^H7125 me at Jordan, ^H3383 and I swore ^H7650 to him by the LORD, ^H3068 saying, ^H559 I will not ^H518 put thee to death ^H4191 with the sword. ^H2719
• 9 Now ^H6258 therefore hold him not guiltless ^{H408 H5352} : for ^H3588 thou ^H859 art a wise ^H2450 man, ^H376 and knowest ^{H3045 H853} what ^H834 thou oughtest to do ^H6213 unto him ; but his ^H853 hoar head ^H7872 bring thou down ^H3381 to the grave ^H7585 with blood. ^H1818
• 10 So David ^H1732 slept ^H7901 with ^H5973 his fathers, ^H1 and was buried ^H6912 in the city ^H5892 of David. ^H1732
• 11 And the days ^H3117 that ^H834 David ^H1732 reigned ^H4427 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478 were forty ^H705 years: ^H8141 seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 reigned ^H4427 he in Hebron, ^H2275 and thirty ^H7970 and three ^H7969 years ^H8141 reigned ^H4427 he in Jerusalem. ^H3389
• 12 Then sat ^H3427 Solomon ^H8010 upon ^H5921 the throne ^H3678 of David ^H1732 his father; ^H1 and his kingdom ^H4438 was established ^H3559 greatly. ^H3966
• 13 And Adonijah ^H138 the son ^H1121 of Haggith ^H2294 came ^H935 to ^H413 Bath- ^H1339 sheba the mother ^H517 of Solomon. ^H8010 And she said, ^H559 Comest ^H935 thou peaceably ^H7965 ? And he said, ^H559 Peaceably. ^H7965
• 14 He said ^H559 moreover , I have somewhat to say ^H1697 unto ^H413 thee . And she said, ^H559 Say on. ^H1696
• 15 And he said, ^H559 Thou ^H859 knowest ^H3045 that ^H3588 the kingdom ^H4410 was ^H1961 mine , and that all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 set ^H7760 their faces ^H6440 on ^H5921 me , that I should reign: ^H4427 howbeit the kingdom ^H4410 is turned about, ^H5437 and is become ^H1961 my brother's H251: for ^H3588 it was ^H1961 his from the LORD ^{H4480 H3068} .
• 16 And now ^H6258 I ^H595 ask ^H7592 one ^H259 petition ^H7596 of ^{H4480 H854} thee, deny ^{H7725 H853 H6440} me not. ^H408 And she said ^H559 unto ^H413 him , Say on. ^H1696
• 17 And he said, ^H559 Speak, ^H559 I pray thee, ^H4994 unto Solomon ^H8010 the king, ^H4428 ( for ^H3588 he will not ^H3808 say thee nay ^{H7725 H853 H6440} ,) that he give ^H5414 me ^H853 Abishag ^H49 the Shunammite ^H7767 to wife. ^H802
• 18 And Bath- ^H1339 sheba said, ^H559 Well; ^H2896 I ^H595 will speak ^H1696 for ^H5921 thee unto ^H413 the king. ^H4428
• 19 Bath ^H1339 -sheba therefore went ^H935 unto ^H413 king ^H4428 Solomon, ^H8010 to speak ^H1696 unto him for ^H5921 Adonijah. ^H138 And the king ^H4428 rose up ^H6965 to meet ^H7122 her , and bowed himself ^H7812 unto her , and sat down ^H3427 on ^H5921 his throne, ^H3678 and caused a seat ^H3678 to be set ^H7760 for the king's ^H4428 mother; ^H517 and she sat ^H3427 on his right hand. ^H3225
• 20 Then she said, ^H559 I ^H595 desire ^H7592 one ^H259 small ^H6996 petition ^H7596 of ^H4480 thee; I pray thee , say me not nay ^{H408 H7725 H853 H6440} . And the king ^H4428 said ^H559 unto her , Ask on, ^H7592 my mother: ^H517 for ^H3588 I will not ^H3808 say thee nay ^{H7725 H853 H6440} .
• 21 And she said, ^H559 Let ^H853 Abishag ^H49 the Shunammite ^H7767 be given ^H5414 to Adonijah ^H138 thy brother ^H251 to wife. ^H802
• 22 And king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 answered ^H6030 and said ^H559 unto his mother, ^H517 And why ^H4100 dost thou ^H859 ask ^{H7592 H853} Abishag ^H49 the Shunammite ^H7767 for Adonijah ^H138 ? ask ^H7592 for him ^H853 the kingdom ^H4410 also; for ^H3588 he ^H1931 is mine ^H4480 elder ^H1419 brother; ^H251 even for him , and for Abiathar ^H54 the priest, ^H3548 and for Joab ^H3097 the son ^H1121 of Zeruiah. ^H6870
• 23 Then king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 swore ^H7650 by the LORD, ^H3068 saying, ^H559 God ^H430 do ^H6213 so ^H3541 to me , and more ^H3254 also, ^H3541 if ^H3588 Adonijah ^H138 have not spoken ^{H1696 H853} this ^H2088 word ^H1697 against his own life. ^H5315
• 24 Now ^H6258 therefore, as the LORD ^H3068 liveth, ^H2416 which ^H834 hath established ^H3559 me , and set ^H3427 me on ^H5921 the throne ^H3678 of David ^H1732 my father, ^H1 and who ^H834 hath made ^H6213 me a house, ^H1004 as ^H834 he promised, ^H1696 Adonijah ^H138 shall be put to death ^H4191 this day. ^H3117
• 25 And king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 sent ^H7971 by the hand ^H3027 of Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada; ^H3077 and he fell ^H6293 upon him that he died. ^H4191
• 26 And unto Abiathar ^H54 the priest ^H3548 said ^H559 the king, ^H4428 Get ^H1980 thee to Anathoth, ^H6068 unto ^H5921 thine own fields; ^H7704 for ^H3588 thou ^H859 art worthy ^H376 of death: ^H4194 but I will not ^H3808 at this ^H2088 time ^H3117 put thee to death, ^H4191 because ^H3588 thou didst bear ^{H5375 H853} the ark ^H727 of the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068 before ^H6440 David ^H1732 my father, ^H1 and because ^H3588 thou hast been afflicted ^H6031 in all ^H3605 wherein ^H834 my father ^H1 was afflicted. ^H6031
• 27 So Solomon ^H8010 thrust out ^{H1644 H853} Abiathar ^H54 from being ^{H4480 H1961} priest ^H3548 unto the LORD; ^H3068 that he might fulfill ^{H4390 H853} the word ^H1697 of the LORD, ^H3068 which ^H834 he spoke ^H1696 concerning ^H5921 the house ^H1004 of Eli ^H5941 in Shiloh. ^H7887
• 28 Then tidings ^H8052 came ^H935 to ^H5704 Joab: ^H3097 for ^H3588 Joab ^H3097 had turned ^H5186 after ^H310 Adonijah, ^H138 though he turned ^H5186 not ^H3808 after ^H310 Absalom. ^H53 And Joab ^H3097 fled ^H5127 unto ^H413 the tabernacle ^H168 of the LORD, ^H3068 and caught hold ^H2388 on the horns ^H7161 of the altar. ^H4196
• 29 And it was told ^H5046 king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 that ^H3588 Joab ^H3097 was fled ^H5127 unto ^H413 the tabernacle ^H168 of the LORD; ^H3068 and, behold, ^H2009 he is by ^H681 the altar. ^H4196 Then Solomon ^H8010 sent ^{H7971 H853} Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada, ^H3077 saying, ^H559 Go, ^H1980 fall ^H6293 upon him.
• 30 And Benaiah ^H1141 came ^H935 to ^H413 the tabernacle ^H168 of the LORD, ^H3068 and said ^H559 unto ^H413 him, Thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 the king, ^H4428 Come forth. ^H3318 And he said, ^H559 Nay; ^H3808 but ^H3588 I will die ^H4191 here. ^H6311 And Benaiah ^H1141 brought ^{H7725 H853} the king ^H4428 word ^H1697 again, saying, ^H559 Thus ^H3541 said ^H1696 Joab, ^H3097 and thus ^H3541 he answered ^H6030 me.
• 31 And the king ^H4428 said ^H559 unto him, Do ^H6213 as ^H834 he hath said, ^H1696 and fall ^H6293 upon him , and bury ^H6912 him ; that thou mayest take away ^H5493 the innocent ^H2600 blood, ^H1818 which ^H834 Joab ^H3097 shed, ^H8210 from ^{H4480 H5921} me , and from ^{H4480 H5921} the house ^H1004 of my father. ^H1
• 32 And the LORD ^H3068 shall return ^{H7725 H853} his blood ^H1818 upon ^H5921 his own head, ^H7218 who ^H834 fell ^H6293 upon two ^H8147 men ^H376 more righteous ^H6662 and better ^H2896 than ^H4480 he , and slew ^H2026 them with the sword, ^H2719 my father ^H1 David ^H1732 not ^H3808 knowing ^H3045 thereof, to wit , ^H853 Abner ^H74 the son ^H1121 of Ner, ^H5369 captain ^H8269 of the host ^H6635 of Israel, ^H3478 and Amasa ^H6021 the son ^H1121 of Jether, ^H3500 captain ^H8269 of the host ^H6635 of Judah. ^H3063
• 33 Their blood ^H1818 shall therefore return ^H7725 upon the head ^H7218 of Joab, ^H3097 and upon the head ^H7218 of his seed ^H2233 forever: ^H5769 but upon David, ^H1732 and upon his seed, ^H2233 and upon his house, ^H1004 and upon his throne, ^H3678 shall there be ^H1961 peace ^H7965 forever ^{H5704 H5769} from ^{H4480 H5973} the LORD. ^H3068
• 34 So Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada ^H3077 went up, ^H5927 and fell ^H6293 upon him , and slew ^H4191 him : and he was buried ^H6912 in his own house ^H1004 in the wilderness. ^H4057
• 35 And the king ^H4428 put ^{H5414 H853} Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada ^H3077 in his room ^H8478 over ^H5921 the host: ^H6635 and Zadok ^H6659 the priest ^H3548 did the king ^H4428 put ^H5414 in the room ^H8478 of Abiathar. ^H54
• 36 And the king ^H4428 sent ^H7971 and called ^H7121 for Shimei, ^H8096 and said ^H559 unto him, Build ^H1129 thee a house ^H1004 in Jerusalem, ^H3389 and dwell ^H3427 there, ^H8033 and go not forth ^{H3808 H3318} thence ^{H4480 H8033} any ^H575 whither. ^H575
• 37 For it shall be, ^H1961 that on the day ^H3117 thou goest out, ^H3318 and passest over ^{H5674 H853} the brook ^H5158 Kidron, ^H6939 thou shalt know ^H3045 for certain ^H3045 that ^H3588 thou shalt surely die ^{H4191 H4191} : thy blood ^H1818 shall be ^H1961 upon thine own head. ^H7218
• 38 And Shimei ^H8096 said ^H559 unto the king, ^H4428 The saying ^H1697 is good: ^H2896 as ^H834 my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 hath said, ^H1696 so ^H3651 will thy servant ^H5650 do. ^H6213 And Shimei ^H8096 dwelt ^H3427 in Jerusalem ^H3389 many ^H7227 days. ^H3117
• 39 And it came to pass ^H1961 at the end ^{H4480 H7093} of three ^H7969 years, ^H8141 that two ^H8147 of the servants ^H5650 of Shimei ^H8096 ran away ^H1272 unto ^H413 Achish ^H397 son ^H1121 of Maachah ^H4601 king ^H4428 of Gath. ^H1661 And they told ^H5046 Shimei, ^H8096 saying, ^H559 Behold, ^H2009 thy servants ^H5650 be in Gath. ^H1661
• 40 And Shimei ^H8096 arose, ^H6965 and saddled ^{H2280 H853} his ass, ^H2543 and went ^H1980 to Gath ^H1661 to ^H413 Achish ^H397 to seek ^{H1245 H853} his servants: ^H5650 and Shimei ^H8096 went, ^H1980 and brought ^{H935 H853} his servants ^H5650 from Gath ^{H4480 H1661} .
• 41 And it was told ^H5046 Solomon ^H8010 that ^H3588 Shimei ^H8096 had gone ^H1980 from Jerusalem ^{H4480 H3389} to Gath, ^H1661 and was come again. ^H7725
• 42 And the king ^H4428 sent ^H7971 and called ^H7121 for Shimei, ^H8096 and said ^H559 unto ^H413 him , Did I not ^H3808 make thee to swear ^H7650 by the LORD, ^H3068 and protested ^H5749 unto thee, saying, ^H559 Know for a certain ^{H3045 H3045} , on the day ^H3117 thou goest out, ^H3318 and walkest abroad ^H1980 any ^H575 whither, ^H575 that ^H3588 thou shalt surely die ^{H4191 H4191} ? and thou saidst ^H559 unto ^H413 me , The word ^H1697 that I have heard ^H8085 is good. ^H2896
• 43 Why ^H4069 then hast thou not ^H3808 kept ^{H8104 H853} the oath ^H7621 of the LORD, ^H3068 and the commandment ^H4687 that ^H834 I have charged ^H6680 thee ^H5921 with?
• 44 The king ^H4428 said ^H559 moreover to ^H413 Shimei, ^H8096 Thou ^H859 knowest ^{H3045 H853} all ^H3605 the wickedness ^H7451 which ^H834 thine heart ^H3824 is privy to, ^H3045 that ^H834 thou didst ^H6213 to David ^H1732 my father: ^H1 therefore the LORD ^H3068 shall return ^{H7725 H853} thy wickedness ^H7451 upon thine own head; ^H7218
• 45 And king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 shall be blessed, ^H1288 and the throne ^H3678 of David ^H1732 shall be ^H1961 established ^H3559 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068 forever ^{H5704 H5769} .
• 46 So the king ^H4428 commanded ^{H6680 H853} Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada; ^H3077 which went out, ^H3318 and fell ^H6293 upon him , that he died. ^H4191 And the kingdom ^H4467 was established ^H3559 in the hand ^H3027 of Solomon. ^H8010

• 1 And draw near do the days of David to die, and he chargeth Solomon his son, saying,
• 2 `I am going in the way of all the earth, and thou hast been strong, and become a man,
• 3 and kept the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, so that thou dost wisely all that thou dost, and whithersoever thou turnest,
• 4 so that Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake unto me, saying, If thy sons observe their way to walk before Me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying, There is not cut off a man of thine from the throne of Israel.
• 5 `And also, thou hast known that which he did to me -- Joab son of Zeruiah -- that which he did to two heads of the hosts of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether -- that he slayeth them, and maketh the blood of war in peace, and putteth the blood of war in his girdle, that is on his loins, and in his sandals that are on his feet;
• 6 and thou hast done according to thy wisdom, and dost not let his old age go down in peace to Sheol.
• 7 `And to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite thou dost do kindness, and they have been among those eating at thy table, for so they drew near unto me in my fleeing from the face of Absalom thy brother.
• 8 `And lo, with thee is Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, and he reviled me -- a grievous reviling -- in the day of my going to Mahanaim; and he hath come down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swear to him by Jehovah, saying, I do not put thee to death by the sword;

• 10 And David lieth down with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David,
• 11 and the days that David hath reigned over Israel are forty years, in Hebron he hath reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he hath reigned thirty and three years.
• 12 And Solomon hath sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom is established greatly,
• 13 and Adonijah son of Haggith cometh in unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon, and she saith, `Is thy coming peace?` and he saith, `Peace.`

• 18 And Bath-Sheba saith, `Good; I do speak for thee unto the king.`
• 19 And Bath-Sheba cometh in unto king Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king riseth to meet her, and boweth himself to her, and sitteth on his throne, and placeth a throne for the mother of the king, and she sitteth at his right hand.
• 20 And she saith, `One small petition I ask of thee, turn not back my face;` and the king saith to her, `Ask, my mother, for I do not turn back thy face.`
• 21 And she saith, `Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother for a wife.`
• 22 And king Solomon answereth and saith to his mother, `And why art thou asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? also ask for him the kingdom -- for he is mine elder brother -- even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah.`
• 23 And king Solomon sweareth by Jehovah, saying, `Thus doth God to me, and thus He doth add -- surely against his soul hath Adonijah spoken this word;
• 24 and now, Jehovah liveth, who hath established me, and causeth me to sit on the throne of David my father, and who hath made for me an house as He spake -- surely to-day is Adonijah put to death.`
• 25 And king Solomon sendeth by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he falleth upon him, and he dieth.
• 26 And to Abiathar the priest said the king, `To Anathoth go, unto thy fields; for a man of death thou art, but in this day I do not put thee to death, because thou hast borne the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.`
• 27 And Solomon casteth out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah which He spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
• 28 And the report hath come unto Joab -- for Joab hath turned aside after Adonijah, though after Absalom he did not turn aside -- and Joab fleeth unto the tent of Jehovah, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar.
• 29 And it is declared to king Solomon that Joab hath fled unto the tent of Jehovah, and lo, near the altar; and Solomon sendeth Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, `Go, fall upon him.`
• 30 And Benaiah cometh in unto the tent of Jehovah, and saith unto him, `Thus said the king, Come out;` and he saith, `Nay, but here I die.` And Benaiah bringeth back the king word, saying, `Thus spake Joab, yea, thus he answered me.`
• 31 And the king saith to him, `Do as he hath spoken, and fall upon him, and thou hast buried him, and turned aside the causeless blood which Joab shed, from off me, and from off the house of my father;
• 32 and Jehovah hath turned back his blood on his own head, who hath fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and slayeth them with the sword, -- and my father David knew not -- Abner son of Ner, head of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, head of the host of Judah;
• 33 yea, turned back hath their blood on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed to the age; and for David, and for his seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there is peace unto the age, from Jehovah.`
• 34 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goeth up and falleth upon him, and putteth him to death, and he is buried in his own house in the wilderness,
• 35 and the king putteth Benaiah son of Jehoiada in his stead over the host, and Zadok the priest hath the king put in the stead of Abiathar.
• 36 And the king sendeth and calleth for Shimei, and saith to him, `Build for thee a house in Jerusalem, and thou hast dwelt there, and dost not go out thence any where;
• 37 and it hath been, in the day of thy going out, and thou hast passed over the brook Kidron, thou dost certainly know that thou dost surely die -- thy blood is on thy head.`
• 38 And Shimei saith to the king, `The word is good; as my lord the king hath spoken so doth thy servant do;` and Shimei dwelleth in Jerusalem many days.
• 39 And it cometh to pass, at the end of three years, that flee do two of the servants of Shimei unto Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath, and they declare to Shimei, saying, `Lo, thy servants are in Gath;`
• 40 and Shimei riseth, and saddleth his ass, and goeth to Gath, unto Achish, to seek his servants, and Shimei goeth and bringeth his servants from Gath.
• 41 And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei hath gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and doth return,
• 42 and the king sendeth and calleth for Shimei, and saith unto him, `Have I not caused thee to swear by Jehovah -- and I testify against thee, saying, In the day of thy going out, and thou hast gone anywhere, thou dost certainly know that thou dost surely die; and thou sayest unto me, The word I have heard is good?
• 43 and wherefore hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the charge that I charged upon thee?`
• 44 And the king saith unto Shimei, `Thou hast known all the evil that thy heart hath known, which thou didest to David my father, and Jehovah hath turned back thine evil on thy head,
• 45 and king Solomon is blessed, and the throne of David is established before Jehovah unto the age.`
• 46 And the king chargeth Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goeth out and falleth on him, and he dieth, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon.

Luke 21:33

• 33 the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words may not pass away.

1 Kings 2:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46

• 1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
• 2 I am going the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;
• 3 and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself.
• 4 That Jehovah may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
• 5 Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
• 6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace.
• 7 But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
• 8 And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I sware to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
• 9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood.
• 10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
• 11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
• 12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
• 13 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
• 14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.
• 15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brothers; for it was his from Jehovah.
• 16 And now I ask one petition of thee; deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
• 17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king (for he will not say thee nay), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
• 18 And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
• 19 Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the kings mother; and she sat on his right hand.
• 20 Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny thee.
• 21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
• 22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
• 23 Then king Solomon sware by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah hath not spoken this word against his own life.
• 24 Now therefore as Jehovah liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
• 25 And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.
• 26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
• 27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Jehovah, that he might fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
• 28 And the tidings came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
• 29 And it was told king Solomon, Joab is fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
• 30 And Benaiah came to the Tent of Jehovah, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
• 31 And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my fathers house.
• 32 And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
• 33 So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from Jehovah.
• 34 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
• 35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
• 36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
• 37 For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
• 38 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
• 39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
• 40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
• 41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
• 42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest unto thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The saying that I have heard is good.
• 43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
• 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore Jehovah shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head.
• 45 But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever.
• 46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
