1 Kings 2:1-46

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>_.

Then sat
<03427> (8804)

Solomon
<08010>

upon the throne
<03678>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_;

and his kingdom
<04438>

was established
<03559> (8735)

greatly
<03966>_.

And Adonijah
<0138>

the son
<01121>

of Haggith
<02294>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Bathsheba
<01339>

the mother
<0517>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Comest
<0935> (8800)

thou peaceably
<07965>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peaceably
<07965>_.

He said
<0559> (8799)

moreover, I have somewhat to say
<01697>

unto thee. And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Say on
<01696> (8761)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

that the kingdom
<04410>

was mine, and [that] all Israel
<03478>

set
<07760> (8804)

their faces
<06440>

on me, that I should reign
<04427> (8800)_:

howbeit the kingdom
<04410>

is turned about
<05437> (8735)_,

and is become my brother's
<0251>_:

for it was his from the LORD
<03068>_.

And now I ask
<07592> (8802)

one
<0259>

petition
<07596>

of thee, deny
<07725> (8686)

me
<06440>

not. And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Say on
<01696> (8761)_.

{deny...: Heb. turn not away my face}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Speak
<0559> (8798)_,

I pray thee, unto Solomon
<08010>

the king
<04428>_,

(for he will not say
<07725> (0)

thee
<06440>

nay
<07725> (8686),)

that he give
<05414> (8799)

me Abishag
<049>

the Shunammite
<07767>

to wife
<0802>_.

And Bathsheba
<01339>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Well
<02896>_;

I will speak
<01696> (8762)

for thee unto the king
<04428>_.

Bathsheba
<01339>

therefore went
<0935> (8799)

unto king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_,

to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto him for Adonijah
<0138>_.

And the king
<04428>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

her, and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself unto her, and sat down
<03427> (8799)

on his throne
<03678>_,

and caused a seat
<03678>

to be set
<07760> (8799)

for the king's
<04428>

mother
<0517>_;

and she sat
<03427> (8799)

on his right hand
<03225>_.

Then she said
<0559> (8799)_,

I desire
<07592> (8802)

one
<0259>

small
<06996>

petition
<07596>

of thee; [I pray thee], say
<07725> (0)

me
<06440>

not nay
<07725> (8686)_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Ask on
<07592> (8798)_,

my mother
<0517>_:

for I will not say
<07725> (0)

thee
<06440>

nay
<07725> (8686)_.

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let Abishag
<049>

the Shunammite
<07767>

be given
<05414> (8714)

to Adonijah
<0138>

thy brother
<0251>

to wife
<0802>_.

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his mother
<0517>_,

And why dost thou ask
<07592> (8802)

Abishag
<049>

the Shunammite
<07767>

for Adonijah
<0138>_?

ask
<07592> (8798)

for him the kingdom
<04410>

also; for he [is] mine elder
<01419>

brother
<0251>_;

even for him, and for Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_,

and for Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_.

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>_.
