1 Kings 2:1 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 WHEN DAVID'S time to die was near, he charged Solomon his son, saying,
2 I go the way of all the earth. Be strong and show yourself a man;
3 Keep the charge of the Lord your God, walk in His ways, keep His statutes, His commandments, His precepts, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may do wisely and prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn,
4 That the Lord may fulfill His promise to me, saying, If your sons take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and mind and with all their soul, there shall not fail you to have a man on the throne of Israel.
5 You know also what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether, whom he murdered, avenging in time of peace blood shed in war, and putting innocent blood of war on the girdle on his loins and on the sandals of his feet.
6 Do therefore according to your wisdom, but let not his hoary head go down to Sheol (the place of the dead) in peace.
7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite and let them be among those who eat at your table; for with such kindness they met me when I fled because of Absalom your brother. II Sam. 17:27-29.
8 And you have with you Shimei 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 on my return, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.
9 So do not hold him guiltless; for you are a wise man and know what you should do to him. His hoary head bring down to the grave with blood.
10 So David slept with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.
11 David reigned over Israel forty years--seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Then Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.
13 Adonijah, the son of David and Haggith, came to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. She said, Do you come peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
14 He said, I have something to say to you. And she said, Say on.
15 He said, You know that the kingdom belonged to me as the eldest living son, and all Israel looked to me to reign. However, the kingdom has passed from me to my brother; for it was his from the Lord.
16 Now I make one request of you; do not deny me. And she said, Say on.
17 He said, I pray you, ask King Solomon, for he will not refuse you, to give me Abishag the Shunammite to be my wife. I Kings 1:1-4.
18 And Bathsheba said, Very well; I will speak for you to the king.
19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose to meet her, bowed to her, sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set at his right hand for her, the king's mother.
20 Then she said, I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me. The king said to her, Ask on, my mother, for I will not refuse you.
21 She said, Give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah your brother to be his wife.
22 King Solomon answered his mother, And why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also--for he is my elder brother--ask it even for him and for his supporters Abiathar the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah.
23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not requested this against his own life.
24 Therefore, as the Lord lives, Who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father and Who has made me a house as He promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
25 So King Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who attacked Adonijah and he died.
26 And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Get to Anathoth to your own estate; for you deserve death, but I will not put you to death now, because you bore the ark of the Lord God before my father David and were afflicted in all my father endured.
27 So Solomon expelled Abiathar descendant of Eli from being priest to the Lord, fulfilling the word of the Lord which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. I Sam. 2:27-36.
28 When the news came to Joab, for Joab had followed Adonijah though he had not followed Absalom, he fled to the tent (tabernacle) of the Lord and caught hold of the horns of the altar before it.
29 King Solomon was told that Joab had fled to the tent of the Lord and was at the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, strike him down.
30 So Benaiah came to the tent of the Lord and told Joab, The king commands, Come forth. But Joab said, No, I will die here. Then Benaiah brought the king word again, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
31 The king said to him, Do as he has said. Strike him down and bury him, that you may take away from me and from my father's house the innocent blood which Joab shed.
32 The Lord shall return his bloody deeds upon his own head, for he fell upon two men more uncompromisingly righteous and honorable than he and slew them with the sword, without my father knowing of it: Abner son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
33 So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab and of his descendants forever. But upon David, his descendants, his house, and his throne, there shall be peace from the Lord forever.
34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up and struck and killed Joab, and he was buried at his own house in the wilderness.
35 The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab's place over the army and put Zadok the priest in place of Abiathar.
36 The king sent for Shimei and said to him, Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not leave there.
37 For on the day you go out and pass over the brook Kidron, know with certainty that you shall die; your blood shall be upon your own head.
38 And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
39 But after three years, two of Shimei's servants ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And Shimei was told, Behold, your runaway servants are in Gath.
40 So Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to King Achish to seek his servants, and brought them from Gath.
41 It was told Solomon that Shimei went from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned.
42 And the king sent for Shimei and said to him, Did I not make you swear by the Lord and warn you, saying, Know with certainty, on the day you go out and walk abroad anywhere, you shall surely die? And you said to me, I have heard your word. It is accepted.
43 Why then have you not kept the oath of the Lord and the command with which I have charged you?
44 The king also said to Shimei, You are aware in your own heart of all the evil you did to my father David; so the Lord will return your evil upon your own head.
45 But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord forever.
46 So the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who went out and struck down Shimei, and he died. And the kingdom was established in the hands of Solomon.
1 Now the days H3117 of David H1732 drew nigh H7126 that he should die H4191 L-VQFC ; and he charged H6680 W-VPY3MS Solomon H8010 MMS his son H1121 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 I H595 PPRO-1MS go H1980 the way H1870 B-NMS of all H3605 NMS the earth H776 D-GFS : be thou strong H2388 therefore , and show H1961 thyself a man H376 ;
3 And keep H8104 the charge H4931 of the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS , to walk H1980 L-VQFC in his ways H1870 , to keep H8104 L-VQFC his statutes H2708 , and his commandments H4687 , and his judgments H4941 , and his testimonies H5715 , as it is written H3789 in the law H8451 B-CFS of Moses H4872 , that H4616 L-CONJ thou mayest prosper H7919 in all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO thou doest H6213 VQY2MS , and whithersoever H3605 NMS thou turnest H6437 thyself :
4 That H4616 L-CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS may continue H6965 his word H1697 which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS concerning H5921 M-PREP me , saying H559 L-VQFC , If H518 PART thy children H1121 CMP-2MS take heed H8104 to their way H1870 CMS-3MP , to walk H1980 L-VQFC before H6440 L-CMP me in truth H571 with all H3605 B-CMS their heart H3824 and with all H3605 WB-CMS their soul H5315 CFS-3MP , there shall not H3808 ADV fail H3772 VNI3MS thee H559 L-VQFC (said he) a man H376 NMS on M-PREP the throne H3678 of Israel H3478 LMS .
5 Moreover H1571 W-CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS knowest H3045 VQQ2MS also what H834 RPRO Joab H3097 the son H1121 CMS of Zeruiah H6870 did H6213 VQQ3MS to me , and what H834 RPRO he did H6213 VQQ3MS to the two H8147 L-CMD captains H8269 CMP of the hosts H6635 of Israel H3478 , unto Abner H74 the son H1121 CMS of Ner H5369 , and unto Amasa H6021 the son H1121 CMS of Jether H3500 , whom he slew H2026 , and shed H7760 W-VQY3MS the blood H1818 of war H4421 NFS in peace H7965 , and put H5414 W-VQQ3MS the blood H1818 CMP of war H4421 NFS upon his girdle H2290 that H834 RPRO was about his loins H4975 , and in his shoes H5275 that H834 RPRO were on his feet H7272 .
6 Do H6213 therefore according to thy wisdom H2451 , and let not H3808 W-NPAR his hoar head H7872 go down H3381 to the grave H7585 in peace H7965 .
7 But show H6213 VQY2MS kindness H2617 NMS unto the sons H1121 of Barzillai H1271 the Gileadite H1569 , and let them be H1961 W-VQQ3MS of those that eat H398 at thy table H7979 : for H3588 CONJ so H3651 ADV they came H7126 to H413 PREP-1MS me when I fled H1272 because H6440 M-CMP of Absalom H53 thy brother H251 .
8 And , behold H2009 IJEC , thou hast with H5973 PREP-2MS thee Shimei H8096 the son H1121 CMS of Gera H1617 , a Benjamite H1145 of Bahurim H980 , which H1931 W-PPRO-3MS cursed H7043 me with a grievous H4834 curse H7045 in the day H3117 B-NMS when I went H1980 to Mahanaim H4266 : but he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS came down H3381 VQQ3MS to meet H7125 me at Jordan H3383 D-EFS , and I swore H7650 to him by the LORD H3068 , saying H559 L-VQFC , I will not H518 PART put thee to death H4191 with the sword H2719 .
9 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore hold him not guiltless H5352 : for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art a wise H2450 AMS man H376 NMS , and knowest H3045 what H834 RPRO thou oughtest to do H6213 VQY2MS unto him ; but his hoar head H7872 bring thou down H3381 to the grave H7585 with blood H1818 .
10 So David H1732 MMS slept H7901 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 , and was buried H6912 in the city H5892 of David H1732 .
11 And the days H3117 that H834 RPRO David H1732 MMS reigned H4427 over H5921 PREP Israel H3478 were forty H705 MMP years H8141 NFS : seven H7651 MFS years H8141 NFP reigned H4427 he in Hebron H2275 B-EFS , and thirty H7970 MMP and three H7969 years H8141 reigned H4427 he in Jerusalem H3389 .
12 Then sat H3427 VQQ3MS Solomon H8010 upon H5921 PREP the throne H3678 of David H1732 MMS his father H1 CMS-3MS ; and his kingdom H4438 was established H3559 greatly H3966 ADV .
13 And Adonijah H138 the son H1121 CMS of Haggith H2294 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Bath H1339 - sheba the mother H517 GFS of Solomon H8010 MMS . And she said H559 W-VQY3MS , Comest H935 thou peaceably H7965 ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Peaceably H7965 .
14 He said H559 W-VQY3MS moreover , I have somewhat to say H1697 VQPMS unto H413 thee . And she said H559 W-VQY3MS , Say on H1696 .
15 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thou H859 knowest H3045 that H3588 CONJ the kingdom H4410 was H1961 VQQ3FS mine , and that all H3605 Israel H3478 set H7760 VQQ3MP their faces H6440 CMP-3MP on H5921 me , that I should reign H4427 : howbeit the kingdom H4410 is turned about H5437 , and is become H1961 W-VQY3FS my brother H251 \'s : for H3588 CONJ it was H1961 VQQ3FS his from the LORD H3068 .
16 And now H6258 W-ADV I H595 PPRO-1MS ask H7592 one H259 OFS petition H7596 of thee , deny H7725 me not H408 NPAR . And she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Say on H1696 .
17 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Speak H559 W-VQY3MS , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , unto Solomon H8010 the king H4428 D-NMS , ( CONJ for CONJ he will not H3808 ADV say thee nay H7725 VHY3MS , ) that he give H5414 me Abishag H49 the Shunammite H7767 to wife H802 .
18 And Bath H1339 - sheba said H559 W-VQY3FS , Well H2896 AMS ; I H595 PPRO-1MS will speak H1696 VPY1MS for H5921 PREP-2MS thee unto H413 PREP the king H4428 .
19 Bath H1339 - sheba therefore went H935 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP king H4428 D-NMS Solomon H8010 MMS , to speak H1696 unto him for H5921 PREP Adonijah H138 . And the king H4428 D-NMS rose up H6965 W-VQY3MS to meet H7122 her , and bowed himself H7812 unto her , and sat down H3427 W-VQY3MS on H5921 PREP his throne H3678 , and caused a seat H3678 to be set H7760 W-VQY3MS for the king H4428 D-NMS \'s mother H517 ; and she sat H3427 on his right hand H3225 .
20 Then she said H559 W-VQY3FS , I H595 PPRO-1MS desire H7592 one H259 OFS small H6996 petition H7596 of H4480 thee ; I pray thee , say me not nay H408 NPAR .

21 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS , Let Abishag H49 the Shunammite H7767 be given H5414 VWY3MS to Adonijah H138 thy brother H251 CMS-2MS to wife H802 .
22 And king H4428 D-NMS Solomon H8010 MMS answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto his mother H517 , And why H4100 dost thou H859 ask H7592 Abishag H49 the Shunammite H7767 for Adonijah H138 ? ask H7592 for him the kingdom H4410 also ; for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is mine H4480 M-PREP-1MS elder H1419 D-AMS 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 D-NMS Solomon H8010 MMS swore H7650 by the LORD H3068 , saying H559 L-VQFC , God H430 EDP do H6213 so H3541 to me , and more H3254 also H3541 , if H3588 CONJ Adonijah H138 have not spoken H1696 VPQ3MS this H2088 D-PMS word H1697 D-NMS against his own life H5315 .
24 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , as the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , which H834 RPRO hath established H3559 me , and set H3427 me on H5921 PREP the throne H3678 of David H1732 MMS my father H1 CMS-1MS , and who H834 RPRO hath made H6213 me a house H1004 NMS , as H834 RPRO he promised H1696 , Adonijah H138 shall be put to death H4191 this day H3117 D-AMS .
25 And king H4428 D-NMS Solomon H8010 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS by the hand H3027 B-CFS of Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 CMS of Jehoiada H3077 ; and he fell H6293 upon him that he died H4191 W-VQY3MS .
26 And unto Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 said H559 VQQ3MS the king H4428 D-NMS , Get H1980 VQI2MS thee to Anathoth H6068 , unto H5921 PREP thine own fields H7704 ; for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art worthy H376 NMS of death H4194 NMS : but I will not H3808 NADV at this H2088 D-PMS time H3117 put thee to death H4191 , because H3588 CONJ thou didst bear H5375 the ark H727 of the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3068 before H6440 L-CMP David H1732 MMS my father H1 CMS-1MS , and because H3588 CONJ thou hast been afflicted H6031 in all H3605 wherein H834 RPRO my father H1 was afflicted H6031 .
27 So Solomon H8010 MMS thrust out H1644 W-VPQ3MS Abiathar H54 from being priest H3548 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS ; that he might fulfill H4390 L-VPFC the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS concerning H5921 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Eli H5941 in Shiloh H7887 .
28 Then tidings H8052 came H935 VQQ3FS to H5704 PREP Joab H3097 : for H3588 CONJ Joab H3097 had turned H5186 VQQ3MS after H310 PREP Adonijah H138 , though he turned H5186 VQQ3MS not H3808 NADV after H310 Absalom H53 . And Joab H3097 fled H5127 unto H413 PREP the tabernacle H168 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and caught hold H2388 on the horns H7161 of the altar H4196 .
29 And it was told H5046 king H4428 Solomon H8010 MMS that H3588 CONJ Joab H3097 was fled H5127 unto H413 PREP the tabernacle H168 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS ; and , behold H2009 IJEC , he is by H681 the altar H4196 D-NMS . Then Solomon H8010 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 CMS of Jehoiada H3077 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Go H1980 VQI2MS , fall H6293 upon him .
30 And Benaiah H1141 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the tabernacle H168 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the king H4428 D-NMS , Come forth H3318 VQI2MS . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Nay H3808 NPAR ; but H3588 CONJ I will die H4191 VQY1MS here H6311 . And Benaiah H1141 brought H7725 W-VHY3MS the king H4428 D-NMS word H1697 VQPMS again , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Thus H3541 said H1696 Joab H3097 , and thus H3541 he answered H6030 me .
31 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Do H6213 VQI2MS as H834 RPRO he hath said H1696 VPQ3MS , and fall H6293 upon him , and bury H6912 him ; that thou mayest take away H5493 the innocent H2600 ADV blood H1818 CMP , which H834 RPRO Joab H3097 shed H8210 , from M-PREP-1MS me , and from M-PREP-1MS the house H1004 CMS of my father H1 .
32 And the LORD H3068 EDS shall return H7725 his blood H1818 CMS-3MS upon H5921 PREP his own head H7218 CMS-3MS , who H834 RPRO fell H6293 upon two H8147 men H376 NMP more righteous H6662 and better H2896 than H4480 M-PREP-3MS he , and slew H2026 them with the sword H2719 , my father H1 David H1732 not H3808 NADV knowing H3045 thereof , to wit , Abner H74 the son H1121 CMS of Ner H5369 , captain H8269 of the host H6635 of Israel H3478 , and Amasa H6021 the son H1121 CMS of Jether H3500 , captain H8269 of the host H6635 of Judah H3063 .
33 Their blood H1818 shall therefore return H7725 upon the head H7218 B-NMS of Joab H3097 , and upon the head H7218 of his seed H2233 NMS-3MS forever H5769 L-NMS : but upon David H1732 , and upon his seed H2233 , and upon his house H1004 , and upon his throne H3678 , shall there be H1961 VQY3MS peace H7965 NMS forever H5704 PREP from M-PREP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
34 So Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS , and fell H6293 upon him , and slew H4191 him : and he was buried H6912 in his own house H1004 B-CMS-3MS in the wilderness H4057 .
35 And the king H4428 D-NMS put H5414 W-VQQ3MS Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 CMS of Jehoiada H3077 in his room H8478 NMS over H5921 PREP the host H6635 : and Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 did the king H4428 D-NMS put H5414 VQQ3MS in the room H8478 NMS of Abiathar H54 .
36 And the king H4428 D-NMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS and called H7121 W-VQY3MS for Shimei H8096 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Build H1129 thee a house H1004 in Jerusalem H3389 , and dwell H3427 there H8033 ADV , and go not forth W-NPAR thence H8033 M-ADV any H575 whither H575 .
37 For it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that on the day H3117 B-NMS thou goest out H3318 , and passest over H5674 the brook H5158 NMS Kidron H6939 , thou shalt know H3045 for certain H3045 that H3588 CONJ thou shalt surely die H4191 VQFA : thy blood H1818 shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS upon thine own head H7218 .
38 And Shimei H8096 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the king H4428 , The saying H1697 D-NMS is good H2896 AMS : as H834 K-RPRO my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS hath said H1696 VPQ3MS , so H3651 ADV will thy servant H5650 do H6213 VQY3MS . And Shimei H8096 dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MS in Jerusalem H3389 many H7227 AMP days H3117 NMP .
39 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS at the end H7093 M-CMS of three H7969 MFS years H8141 NFP , that two H8147 of the servants H5650 NMP of Shimei H8096 ran away H1272 unto H413 PREP Achish H397 son H1121 of Maachah H4601 king H4428 NMS of Gath H1661 . And they told H5046 Shimei H8096 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Behold H2009 IJEC , thy servants H5650 be in Gath H1661 .
40 And Shimei H8096 arose H6965 W-VQY3MS , and saddled H2280 his ass H2543 , and went H1980 W-VQY3MS to Gath H1661 to H413 PREP Achish H397 to seek H1245 his servants H5650 : and Shimei H8096 went H1980 W-VQY3MS , and brought H935 W-VHY3MS his servants H5650 from Gath H1661 .
41 And it was told H5046 Solomon H8010 that H3588 CONJ Shimei H8096 had gone H1980 VQQ3MS from Jerusalem H3389 to Gath H1661 , and was come again H7725 .
42 And the king H4428 D-NMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS and called H7121 W-VQY3MS for Shimei H8096 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Did I not H3808 D-NPAR make thee to swear H7650 by the LORD H3068 , and protested H5749 unto thee , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Know for a certain H3045 , on the day H3117 B-NMS thou goest out H3318 , and walkest abroad H1980 any H575 whither H575 , that H3588 CONJ thou shalt surely die H4191 VQFA ? and thou saidst H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , The word H1697 D-NMS that I have heard H8085 is good H2896 AMS .
43 Why H4069 then hast thou not H3808 NADV kept H8104 the oath H7621 of the LORD H3068 EDS , and the commandment H4687 that H834 RPRO I have charged H6680 thee H5921 PREP-2MS with ?
44 The king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS moreover to H413 PREP Shimei H8096 , Thou H859 PPRO-2MS knowest H3045 VQQ2MS all H3605 NMS the wickedness H7451 D-AFS which H834 RPRO thine heart H3824 is privy to H3045 VQQ2MS , that H834 RPRO thou didst H6213 VQQ2MS to David H1732 L-NAME my father H1 CMS-1MS : therefore the LORD H3068 EDS shall return H7725 thy wickedness H7451 upon thine own head H7218 ;
45 And king H4428 Solomon H8010 MMS shall be blessed H1288 VWQ3MS , and the throne H3678 of David H1732 shall be H1961 VQY3MS established H3559 NMS before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS forever H5704 PREP .
46 So the king H4428 D-NMS commanded H6680 W-VPY3MS Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 ; which went out H3318 W-VQY3MS , and fell H6293 upon him , that he died H4191 . And the kingdom H4467 was established H3559 in the hand H3027 B-CFS of Solomon H8010 .
