Now the daysh3117 of Davidh1732 drew nighh7126h8799 that he should dieh4191h8800; and he chargedh6680h8762 Solomonh8010 his sonh1121, sayingh559h8800,

2

I goh1980h8802 the wayh1870 of all the earthh776: be thou strongh2388h8804 therefore, and shew thyself a manh376;

3

And keeph8104h8804 the chargeh4931 of the LORDh3068 thy Godh430, to walkh3212h8800 in his waysh1870, to keeph8104h8800 his statutesh2708, and his commandmentsh4687, and his judgmentsh4941, and his testimoniesh5715, as it is writtenh3789h8803 in the lawh8451 of Mosesh4872, that thou mayest prosperh7919h8686 in all that thou doesth6213h8799, and whithersoever thou turnesth6437h8799 thyself: prosper: or, do wisely

4

That the LORDh3068 may continueh6965h8686 his wordh1697 which he spakeh1696h8765 concerning me, sayingh559h8800, If thy childrenh1121 take heedh8104h8799 to their wayh1870, to walkh3212h8800 beforeh6440 me in truthh571 with all their hearth3824 and with all their soulh5315, there shall not failh3772h8735 thee (saidh559h8800 he) a manh376 on the throneh3678 of Israelh3478. fail...: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne

5

Moreover thou knowesth3045h8804 also what Joabh3097 the sonh1121 of Zeruiahh6870 didh6213h8804 to me, and what he didh6213h8804 to the twoh8147 captainsh8269 of the hostsh6635 of Israelh3478, unto Abnerh74 the sonh1121 of Nerh5369, and unto Amasah6021 the sonh1121 of Jetherh3500, whom he slewh2026h8799, and shedh7760h8799 the bloodh1818 of warh4421 in peaceh7965, and puth5414h8799 the bloodh1818 of warh4421 upon his girdleh2290 that was about his loinsh4975, and in his shoesh5275 that were on his feeth7272. shed: Heb. put

Doh6213h8804 therefore according to thy wisdomh2451, and let not his hoar headh7872 go downh3381h8686 to the graveh7585 in peaceh7965.

7

But shewh6213h8799 kindnessh2617 unto the sonsh1121 of Barzillaih1271 the Gileaditeh1569, and let them be of those that eath398h8802 at thy tableh7979: for so they cameh7126h8804 to me when I fledh1272h8800 becauseh6440 of Absalomh53 thy brotherh251.

8

And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimeih8096 the sonh1121 of Gerah1617, a Benjamiteh1145 of Bahurimh980, which cursedh7043h8765 me with a grievoush4834h8737 curseh7045 in the dayh3117 when I wenth3212h8800 to Mahanaimh4266: but he came downh3381h8804 to meeth7125h8800 me at Jordanh3383, and I swareh7650h8735 to him by the LORDh3068, sayingh559h8800, I will not put thee to deathh4191h8686 with the swordh2719. grievous: Heb. strong

9

Now therefore hold him not guiltlessh5352h8762: for thou art a wiseh2450 manh376, and knowesth3045h8804 what thou oughtest to doh6213h8799 unto him; but his hoar headh7872 bring thou downh3381h8689 to the graveh7585 with bloodh1818.

10

So Davidh1732 slepth7901h8799 with his fathersh1, and was buriedh6912h8735 in the cityh5892 of Davidh1732.

11

And the daysh3117 that Davidh1732 reignedh4427h8804 over Israelh3478 were fortyh705 yearsh8141: sevenh7651 yearsh8141 reignedh4427h8804 he in Hebronh2275, and thirtyh7970 and threeh7969 yearsh8141 reignedh4427h8804 he in Jerusalemh3389.

12

Then sath3427h8804 Solomonh8010 upon the throneh3678 of Davidh1732 his fatherh1; and his kingdomh4438 was establishedh3559h8735 greatlyh3966.

13

And Adonijahh138 the sonh1121 of Haggithh2294 cameh935h8799 to Bathshebah1339 the motherh517 of Solomonh8010. And she saidh559h8799, Comesth935h8800 thou peaceablyh7965? And he saidh559h8799, Peaceablyh7965.

14

He saidh559h8799 moreover, I have somewhat to sayh1697 unto thee. And she saidh559h8799, Say onh1696h8761.

15

And he saidh559h8799, Thou knowesth3045h8804 that the kingdomh4410 was mine, and that all Israelh3478 seth7760h8804 their facesh6440 on me, that I should reignh4427h8800: howbeit the kingdomh4410 is turned abouth5437h8735, and is become my brother'sh251: for it was his from the LORDh3068.

16

And now I askh7592h8802 oneh259 petitionh7596 of thee, denyh7725h8686 meh6440 not. And she saidh559h8799 unto him, Say onh1696h8761. deny...: Heb. turn not away my face

17

And he saidh559h8799, Speakh559h8798, I pray thee, unto Solomonh8010 the kingh4428, (for he will not sayh7725 theeh6440 nayh7725h8686,) that he giveh5414h8799 me Abishagh49 the Shunammiteh7767 to wifeh802.

18

And Bathshebah1339 saidh559h8799, Wellh2896; I will speakh1696h8762 for thee unto the kingh4428.

19

Bathshebah1339 therefore wenth935h8799 unto kingh4428 Solomonh8010, to speakh1696h8763 unto him for Adonijahh138. And the kingh4428 rose uph6965h8799 to meeth7125h8800 her, and bowedh7812h8691 himself unto her, and sat downh3427h8799 on his throneh3678, and caused a seath3678 to be seth7760h8799 for the king'sh4428 motherh517; and she sath3427h8799 on his right handh3225.

20

Then she saidh559h8799, I desireh7592h8802 oneh259 smallh6996 petitionh7596 of thee; I pray thee , sayh7725 meh6440 not nayh7725h8686. And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799 unto her, Ask onh7592h8798, my motherh517: for I will not sayh7725 theeh6440 nayh7725h8686.

21

And she saidh559h8799, Let Abishagh49 the Shunammiteh7767 be givenh5414h8714 to Adonijahh138 thy brotherh251 to wifeh802.

22

And kingh4428 Solomonh8010 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799 unto his motherh517, And why dost thou askh7592h8802 Abishagh49 the Shunammiteh7767 for Adonijahh138? askh7592h8798 for him the kingdomh4410 also; for he is mine elderh1419 brotherh251; even for him, and for Abiatharh54 the priesth3548, and for Joabh3097 the sonh1121 of Zeruiahh6870.

23

Then kingh4428 Solomonh8010 swareh7650h8735 by the LORDh3068, sayingh559h8800, Godh430 doh6213h8799 so to me, and more alsoh3254h8686, if Adonijahh138 have not spokenh1696h8765 this wordh1697 against his own lifeh5315.

24

Now therefore, as the LORDh3068 livethh2416, which hath establishedh3559h8689 me, and seth3427h8686 me on the throneh3678 of Davidh1732 my fatherh1, and who hath madeh6213h8804 me an househ1004, as he promisedh1696h8765, Adonijahh138 shall be put to deathh4191h8714 this dayh3117.

25

And kingh4428 Solomonh8010 senth7971h8799 by the handh3027 of Benaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077; and he fellh6293h8799 upon him that he diedh4191h8799.

26

And unto Abiatharh54 the priesth3548 saidh559h8804 the kingh4428, Geth3212h8798 thee to Anathothh6068, unto thine own fieldsh7704; for thou art worthyh376 of deathh4194: but I will not at this timeh3117 put thee to deathh4191h8686, because thou baresth5375h8804 the arkh727 of the Lordh136 GODh3069 beforeh6440 Davidh1732 my fatherh1, and because thou hast been afflictedh6031h8694 in all wherein my fatherh1 was afflictedh6031h8694. worthy...: Heb. a man of death

27

So Solomonh8010 thrust outh1644h8762 Abiatharh54 from being priesth3548 unto the LORDh3068; that he might fulfilh4390h8763 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, which he spakeh1696h8765 concerning the househ1004 of Elih5941 in Shilohh7887.

28

Then tidingsh8052 cameh935h8804 to Joabh3097: for Joabh3097 had turnedh5186h8804 afterh310 Adonijahh138, though he turnedh5186h8804 not afterh310 Absalomh53. And Joabh3097 fledh5127h8799 unto the tabernacleh168 of the LORDh3068, and caught holdh2388h8686 on the hornsh7161 of the altarh4196.

29

And it was toldh5046h8714 kingh4428 Solomonh8010 that Joabh3097 was fledh5127h8804 unto the tabernacleh168 of the LORDh3068; and, behold, he is byh681 the altarh4196. Then Solomonh8010 senth7971h8799 Benaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077, sayingh559h8800, Goh3212h8798, fallh6293h8798 upon him.

30

And Benaiahh1141 cameh935h8799 to the tabernacleh168 of the LORDh3068, and saidh559h8799 unto him, Thus saithh559h8804 the kingh4428, Come forthh3318h8798. And he saidh559h8799, Nay; but I will dieh4191h8799 here. And Benaiahh1141 broughth7725 the kingh4428 wordh1697 againh7725h8686, sayingh559h8800, Thus saidh1696h8765 Joabh3097, and thus he answeredh6030h8804 me.

31

And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799 unto him, Doh6213h8798 as he hath saidh1696h8765, and fallh6293h8798 upon him, and buryh6912h8804 him; that thou mayest take awayh5493h8689 the innocenth2600 bloodh1818, which Joabh3097 shedh8210h8804, from me, and from the househ1004 of my fatherh1.

32

And the LORDh3068 shall returnh7725h8689 his bloodh1818 upon his own headh7218, who fellh6293h8804 upon twoh8147 menh582 more righteoush6662 and betterh2896 than he, and slewh2026h8799 them with the swordh2719, my fatherh1 Davidh1732 not knowingh3045h8804 thereof, to wit , Abnerh74 the sonh1121 of Nerh5369, captainh8269 of the hosth6635 of Israelh3478, and Amasah6021 the sonh1121 of Jetherh3500, captainh8269 of the hosth6635 of Judahh3063.

33

Their bloodh1818 shall therefore returnh7725h8804 upon the headh7218 of Joabh3097, and upon the headh7218 of his seedh2233 for everh5769: but upon Davidh1732, and upon his seedh2233, and upon his househ1004, and upon his throneh3678, shall there be peaceh7965 forh5704 everh5769 from the LORDh3068.

34

So Benaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077 went uph5927h8799, and fellh6293h8799 upon him, and slewh4191h8686 him: and he was buriedh6912h8735 in his own househ1004 in the wildernessh4057.

35

And the kingh4428 puth5414h8799 Benaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077 in his room over the hosth6635: and Zadokh6659 the priesth3548 did the kingh4428 puth5414h8804 in the room of Abiatharh54.

36

And the kingh4428 senth7971h8799 and calledh7121h8799 for Shimeih8096, and saidh559h8799 unto him, Buildh1129h8798 thee an househ1004 in Jerusalemh3389, and dwellh3427h8804 there, and go not forthh3318h8799 thence any whitherh575.

37

For it shall be, that on the dayh3117 thou goest outh3318h8800, and passest overh5674h8804 the brookh5158 Kidronh6939, thou shalt knowh3045h8799 for certainh3045h8800 that thou shalt surelyh4191h8800 dieh4191h8799: thy bloodh1818 shall be upon thine own headh7218.

38

And Shimeih8096 saidh559h8799 unto the kingh4428, The sayingh1697 is goodh2896: as my lordh113 the kingh4428 hath saidh1696h8765, so will thy servanth5650 doh6213h8799. And Shimeih8096 dwelth3427h8799 in Jerusalemh3389 manyh7227 daysh3117.

39

And it came to pass at the endh7093 of threeh7969 yearsh8141, that twoh8147 of the servantsh5650 of Shimeih8096 ran awayh1272h8799 unto Achishh397 sonh1121 of Maachahh4601 kingh4428 of Gathh1661. And they toldh5046h8686 Shimeih8096, sayingh559h8800, Behold, thy servantsh5650 be in Gathh1661.

40

And Shimeih8096 aroseh6965h8799, and saddledh2280h8799 his assh2543, and wenth3212h8799 to Gathh1661 to Achishh397 to seekh1245h8763 his servantsh5650: and Shimeih8096 wenth3212h8799, and broughth935h8686 his servantsh5650 from Gathh1661.

41

And it was toldh5046h8714 Solomonh8010 that Shimeih8096 had goneh1980h8804 from Jerusalemh3389 to Gathh1661, and was come againh7725h8799.

42

And the kingh4428 senth7971h8799 and calledh7121h8799 for Shimeih8096, and saidh559h8799 unto him, Did I not make thee to swearh7650h8689 by the LORDh3068, and protestedh5749h8686 unto thee, sayingh559h8800, Knowh3045h8799 for a certainh3045h8800, on the dayh3117 thou goest outh3318h8800, and walkesth1980h8804 abroad any whitherh575, that thou shalt surelyh4191h8800 dieh4191h8799? and thou saidsth559h8799 unto me, The wordh1697 that I have heardh8085h8804 is goodh2896.

43

Why then hast thou not kepth8104h8804 the oathh7621 of the LORDh3068, and the commandmenth4687 that I have chargedh6680h8765 thee with?

44

The kingh4428 saidh559h8799 moreover to Shimeih8096, Thou knowesth3045h8804 all the wickednessh7451 which thine hearth3824 is privy toh3045h8804, that thou didsth6213h8804 to Davidh1732 my fatherh1: therefore the LORDh3068 shall returnh7725h8689 thy wickednessh7451 upon thine own headh7218;

45

And kingh4428 Solomonh8010 shall be blessedh1288h8803, and the throneh3678 of Davidh1732 shall be establishedh3559h8737 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 forh5704 everh5769.

46

So the kingh4428 commandedh6680h8762 Benaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077; which went outh3318h8799, and fellh6293h8799 upon him, that he diedh4191h8799. And the kingdomh4467 was establishedh3559h8738 in the handh3027 of Solomonh8010.
