1 Kings 2:1-11

Now the days
<03117>
of David
<01732>
drew nigh
<07126> (8799)
that he should die
<04191> (8800)_;
and he charged
<06680> (8762)
Solomon
<08010>
his son
<01121>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I go
<01980> (8802)
the way
<01870>
of all the earth
<0776>_:
be thou strong
<02388> (8804)
therefore, and shew thyself a man
<0376>_;
And keep
<08104> (8804)
the charge
<04931>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
to walk
<03212> (8800)
in his ways
<01870>_,
to keep
<08104> (8800)
his statutes
<02708>_,
and his commandments
<04687>_,
and his judgments
<04941>_,
and his testimonies
<05715>_,
as it is written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>_,
that thou mayest prosper
<07919> (8686)
in all that thou doest
<06213> (8799)_,
and whithersoever thou turnest
<06437> (8799)
thyself: {prosper: or, do wisely}
That the LORD
<03068>
may continue
<06965> (8686)
his word
<01697>
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
concerning me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If thy children
<01121>
take heed
<08104> (8799)
to their way
<01870>_,
to walk
<03212> (8800)
before
<06440>
me in truth
<0571>
with all their heart
<03824>
and with all their soul
<05315>_,
there shall not fail
<03772> (8735)
thee (said
<0559> (8800)
he) a man
<0376>
on the throne
<03678>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{fail...: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne}
Moreover thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
also what Joab
<03097>
the son
<01121>
of Zeruiah
<06870>
did
<06213> (8804)
to me, [and] what he did
<06213> (8804)
to the two
<08147>
captains
<08269>
of the hosts
<06635>
of Israel
<03478>_,
unto Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
and unto Amasa
<06021>
the son
<01121>
of Jether
<03500>_,
whom he slew
<02026> (8799)_,
and shed
<07760> (8799)
the blood
<01818>
of war
<04421>
in peace
<07965>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
the blood
<01818>
of war
<04421>
upon his girdle
<02290>
that [was] about his loins
<04975>_,
and in his shoes
<05275>
that [were] on his feet
<07272>_.
{shed: Heb. put}
Do
<06213> (8804)
therefore according to thy wisdom
<02451>_,
and let not his hoar head
<07872>
go down
<03381> (8686)
to the grave
<07585>
in peace
<07965>_.
But shew
<06213> (8799)
kindness
<02617>
unto the sons
<01121>
of Barzillai
<01271>
the Gileadite
<01569>_,
and let them be of those that eat
<0398> (8802)
at thy table
<07979>_:
for so they came
<07126> (8804)
to me when I fled
<01272> (8800)
because
<06440>
of Absalom
<053>
thy brother
<0251>_.
And, behold, [thou hast] with thee Shimei
<08096>
the son
<01121>
of Gera
<01617>_,
a Benjamite
<01145>
of Bahurim
<0980>_,
which cursed
<07043> (8765)
me with a grievous
<04834> (8737)
curse
<07045>
in the day
<03117>
when I went
<03212> (8800)
to Mahanaim
<04266>_:
but he came down
<03381> (8804)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
me at Jordan
<03383>_,
and I sware
<07650> (8735)
to him by the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I will not put thee to death
<04191> (8686)
with the sword
<02719>_.
{grievous: Heb. strong}
Now therefore hold him not guiltless
<05352> (8762)_:
for thou [art] a wise
<02450>
man
<0376>_,
and knowest
<03045> (8804)
what thou oughtest to do
<06213> (8799)
unto him; but his hoar head
<07872>
bring thou down
<03381> (8689)
to the grave
<07585>
with blood
<01818>_.
So David
<01732>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_.
And the days
<03117>
that David
<01732>
reigned
<04427> (8804)
over Israel
<03478>
[were] forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_:
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
reigned
<04427> (8804)
he in Hebron
<02275>_,
and thirty
<07970>
and three
<07969>
years
<08141>
reigned
<04427> (8804)
he in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
