1 Kings 2:23-46

Then king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
sware
<07650> (8735)
by the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
God
<0430>
do
<06213> (8799)
so to me, and more also
<03254> (8686)_,
if Adonijah
<0138>
have not spoken
<01696> (8765)
this word
<01697>
against his own life
<05315>_.
Now therefore, [as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
which hath established
<03559> (8689)
me, and set
<03427> (8686)
me on the throne
<03678>
of David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
and who hath made
<06213> (8804)
me an house
<01004>_,
as he promised
<01696> (8765)_,
Adonijah
<0138>
shall be put to death
<04191> (8714)
this day
<03117>_.
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
sent
<07971> (8799)
by the hand
<03027>
of Benaiah
<01141>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiada
<03077>_;
and he fell
<06293> (8799)
upon him that he died
<04191> (8799)_.
And unto Abiathar
<054>
the priest
<03548>
said
<0559> (8804)
the king
<04428>_,
Get
<03212> (8798)
thee to Anathoth
<06068>_,
unto thine own fields
<07704>_;
for thou [art] worthy
<0376>
of death
<04194>_:
but I will not at this time
<03117>
put thee to death
<04191> (8686)_,
because thou barest
<05375> (8804)
the ark
<0727>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
before
<06440>
David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
and because thou hast been afflicted
<06031> (8694)
in all wherein my father
<01>
was afflicted
<06031> (8694)_.
{worthy...: Heb. a man of death}
So Solomon
<08010>
thrust out
<01644> (8762)
Abiathar
<054>
from being priest
<03548>
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
that he might fulfil
<04390> (8763)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
concerning the house
<01004>
of Eli
<05941>
in Shiloh
<07887>_.
Then tidings
<08052>
came
<0935> (8804)
to Joab
<03097>_:
for Joab
<03097>
had turned
<05186> (8804)
after
<0310>
Adonijah
<0138>_,
though he turned
<05186> (8804)
not after
<0310>
Absalom
<053>_.
And Joab
<03097>
fled
<05127> (8799)
unto the tabernacle
<0168>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and caught hold
<02388> (8686)
on the horns
<07161>
of the altar
<04196>_.
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
that Joab
<03097>
was fled
<05127> (8804)
unto the tabernacle
<0168>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and, behold, [he is] by
<0681>
the altar
<04196>_.
Then Solomon
<08010>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Benaiah
<01141>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiada
<03077>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
fall
<06293> (8798)
upon him.
And Benaiah
<01141>
came
<0935> (8799)
to the tabernacle
<0168>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the king
<04428>_,
Come forth
<03318> (8798)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay; but I will die
<04191> (8799)
here. And Benaiah
<01141>
brought
<07725> (0)
the king
<04428>
word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8686)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus said
<01696> (8765)
Joab
<03097>_,
and thus he answered
<06030> (8804)
me.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Do
<06213> (8798)
as he hath said
<01696> (8765)_,
and fall
<06293> (8798)
upon him, and bury
<06912> (8804)
him; that thou mayest take away
<05493> (8689)
the innocent
<02600>
blood
<01818>_,
which Joab
<03097>
shed
<08210> (8804)_,
from me, and from the house
<01004>
of my father
<01>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
shall return
<07725> (8689)
his blood
<01818>
upon his own head
<07218>_,
who fell
<06293> (8804)
upon two
<08147>
men
<0582>
more righteous
<06662>
and better
<02896>
than he, and slew
<02026> (8799)
them with the sword
<02719>_,
my father
<01>
David
<01732>
not knowing
<03045> (8804)
[thereof, to wit], Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and Amasa
<06021>
the son
<01121>
of Jether
<03500>_,
captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>
of Judah
<03063>_.
Their blood
<01818>
shall therefore return
<07725> (8804)
upon the head
<07218>
of Joab
<03097>_,
and upon the head
<07218>
of his seed
<02233>
for ever
<05769>_:
but upon David
<01732>_,
and upon his seed
<02233>_,
and upon his house
<01004>_,
and upon his throne
<03678>_,
shall there be peace
<07965>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>
from the LORD
<03068>_.
So Benaiah
<01141>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiada
<03077>
went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and fell
<06293> (8799)
upon him, and slew
<04191> (8686)
him: and he was buried
<06912> (8735)
in his own house
<01004>
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
And the king
<04428>
put
<05414> (8799)
Benaiah
<01141>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiada
<03077>
in his room over the host
<06635>_:
and Zadok
<06659>
the priest
<03548>
did the king
<04428>
put
<05414> (8804)
in the room of Abiathar
<054>_.
And the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
for Shimei
<08096>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Build
<01129> (8798)
thee an house
<01004>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8804)
there, and go not forth
<03318> (8799)
thence any whither
<0575>_.
For it shall be, [that] on the day
<03117>
thou goest out
<03318> (8800)_,
and passest over
<05674> (8804)
the brook
<05158>
Kidron
<06939>_,
thou shalt know
<03045> (8799)
for certain
<03045> (8800)
that thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_:
thy blood
<01818>
shall be upon thine own head
<07218>_.
And Shimei
<08096>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>_,
The saying
<01697>
[is] good
<02896>_:
as my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>
hath said
<01696> (8765)_,
so will thy servant
<05650>
do
<06213> (8799)_.
And Shimei
<08096>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
many
<07227>
days
<03117>_.
And it came to pass at the end
<07093>
of three
<07969>
years
<08141>_,
that two
<08147>
of the servants
<05650>
of Shimei
<08096>
ran away
<01272> (8799)
unto Achish
<0397>
son
<01121>
of Maachah
<04601>
king
<04428>
of Gath
<01661>_.
And they told
<05046> (8686)
Shimei
<08096>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, thy servants
<05650>
[be] in Gath
<01661>_.
And Shimei
<08096>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and saddled
<02280> (8799)
his ass
<02543>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Gath
<01661>
to Achish
<0397>
to seek
<01245> (8763)
his servants
<05650>_:
and Shimei
<08096>
went
<03212> (8799)_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
his servants
<05650>
from Gath
<01661>_.
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
Solomon
<08010>
that Shimei
<08096>
had gone
<01980> (8804)
from Jerusalem
<03389>
to Gath
<01661>_,
and was come again
<07725> (8799)_.
And the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
for Shimei
<08096>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Did I not make thee to swear
<07650> (8689)
by the LORD
<03068>_,
and protested
<05749> (8686)
unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Know
<03045> (8799)
for a certain
<03045> (8800)_,
on the day
<03117>
thou goest out
<03318> (8800)_,
and walkest
<01980> (8804)
abroad any whither
<0575>_,
that thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_?
and thou saidst
<0559> (8799)
unto me, The word
<01697>
[that] I have heard
<08085> (8804)
[is] good
<02896>_.
Why then hast thou not kept
<08104> (8804)
the oath
<07621>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the commandment
<04687>
that I have charged
<06680> (8765)
thee with?
The king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
moreover to Shimei
<08096>_,
Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
all the wickedness
<07451>
which thine heart
<03824>
is privy to
<03045> (8804)_,
that thou didst
<06213> (8804)
to David
<01732>
my father
<01>_:
therefore the LORD
<03068>
shall return
<07725> (8689)
thy wickedness
<07451>
upon thine own head
<07218>_;
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
[shall be] blessed
<01288> (8803)_,
and the throne
<03678>
of David
<01732>
shall be established
<03559> (8737)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
So the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Benaiah
<01141>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiada
<03077>_;
which went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and fell
<06293> (8799)
upon him, that he died
<04191> (8799)_.
And the kingdom
<04467>
was established
<03559> (8738)
in the hand
<03027>
of Solomon
<08010>_.
