[1]Now the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 drew nighH7126[H8799] that he should dieH4191[H8800]; and he chargedH6680[H8762] SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[No book] |
[2]I goH1980[H8802] the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: be thou strongH2388[H8804] therefore, and shew thyself a manH376; |
[No book] |
[3]And keepH8104[H8804] the chargeH4931 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to walkH3212[H8800] in his waysH1870, to keepH8104[H8800] his statutesH2708, and his commandmentsH4687, and his judgmentsH4941, and his testimoniesH5715, as it is writtenH3789[H8803] in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that thou mayest prosperH7919[H8686] in all that thou doestH6213[H8799], and whithersoever thou turnestH6437 thyselfH8799: |
[No book] |
[4]That the LORDH3068 may continueH6965[H8686] his wordH1697 which he spakeH1696[H8765] concerning me, sayingH559[H8800], If thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104[H8799] to their wayH1870, to walkH3212[H8800] beforeH6440 me in truthH571 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315, there shall not failH3772[H8735] thee (saidH559[H8800] he) a manH376 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. |
[No book] |
[5]Moreover thou knowestH3045[H8804] also what JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 didH6213[H8804] to me, and what he didH6213[H8804] to the twoH8147 captainsH8269 of the hostsH6635 of IsraelH3478, unto AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and unto AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, whom he slewH2026[H8799], and shedH7760[H8799] the bloodH1818 of warH4421 in peaceH7965, and putH5414[H8799] the bloodH1818 of warH4421 upon his girdleH2290 that was about his loinsH4975, and in his shoesH5275 that were on his feetH7272. |
[No book] |
[6]DoH6213[H8804] therefore according to thy wisdomH2451, and let not his hoar headH7872 go downH3381[H8686] to the graveH7585 in peaceH7965. |
[No book] |
[7]But shewH6213[H8799] kindnessH2617 unto the sonsH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569, and let them be of those that eatH398[H8802] at thy tableH7979: for so they cameH7126[H8804] to me when I fledH1272[H8800] becauseH6440 of AbsalomH53 thy brotherH251. |
[No book] |
[8]And, behold, thou hast with thee ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145 of BahurimH980, which cursedH7043[H8765] me with a grievousH4834[H8737] curseH7045 in the dayH3117 when I wentH3212[H8800] to MahanaimH4266: but he came downH3381[H8804] to meetH7125[H8800] me at JordanH3383, and I swareH7650[H8735] to him by the LORDH3068, sayingH559[H8800], I will not put thee to deathH4191[H8686] with the swordH2719. |
[No book] |
[9]Now therefore hold him not guiltlessH5352[H8762]: for thou art a wiseH2450 manH376, and knowestH3045[H8804] what thou oughtest to doH6213[H8799] unto him; but his hoar headH7872 bring thou downH3381[H8689] to the graveH7585 with bloodH1818. |

[10]So DavidH1732 sleptH7901[H8799] with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912[H8735] in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. |
[No book] |
[11]And the daysH3117 that DavidH1732 reignedH4427[H8804] over IsraelH3478 were fortyH705 yearsH8141: sevenH7651 yearsH8141 reignedH4427[H8804] he in HebronH2275, and thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 reignedH4427[H8804] he in JerusalemH3389. |
[No book] |
[12]Then satH3427[H8804] SolomonH8010 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1; and his kingdomH4438 was establishedH3559[H8735] greatlyH3966. |
[No book] |
[13]And AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 cameH935[H8799] to BathshebaH1339 the motherH517 of SolomonH8010. And she saidH559[H8799], ComestH935[H8800] thou peaceablyH7965? And he saidH559[H8799], PeaceablyH7965. |
[No book] |
[14]He saidH559[H8799] moreover, I have somewhat to sayH1697 unto thee. And she saidH559[H8799], Say onH1696.[H8761] |
[No book] |
[15]And he saidH559[H8799], Thou knowestH3045[H8804] that the kingdomH4410 was mine, and that all IsraelH3478 setH7760[H8804] their facesH6440 on me, that I should reignH4427[H8800]: howbeit the kingdomH4410 is turned aboutH5437[H8735], and is become my brother'sH251: for it was his from the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
[16]And now I askH7592[H8802] oneH259 petitionH7596 of thee, denyH7725[H8686] meH6440 not. And she saidH559[H8799] unto him, Say onH1696.[H8761] |
[No book] |
[17]And he saidH559[H8799], SpeakH559[H8798], I pray thee, unto SolomonH8010 the kingH4428, (for he will not sayH7725 theeH6440 nayH7725[H8686],) that he giveH5414[H8799] me AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 to wifeH802. |

[18]And BathshebaH1339 saidH559[H8799], WellH2896; I will speakH1696[H8762] for thee unto the kingH4428. |
[No book] |
[19]BathshebaH1339 therefore wentH935[H8799] unto kingH4428 SolomonH8010, to speakH1696[H8763] unto him for AdonijahH138. And the kingH4428 rose upH6965[H8799] to meetH7125[H8800] her, and bowedH7812[H8691] himself unto her, and sat downH3427[H8799] on his throneH3678, and caused a seatH3678 to be setH7760[H8799] for the king'sH4428 motherH517; and she satH3427[H8799] on his right handH3225. |
[No book] |
[20]Then she saidH559[H8799], I desireH7592[H8802] oneH259 smallH6996 petitionH7596 of thee; I pray thee, sayH7725 meH6440 not nayH7725[H8686]. And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto her, Ask onH7592[H8798], my motherH517: for I will not sayH7725 theeH6440 nayH7725.[H8686] |
[No book] |
[21]And she saidH559[H8799], Let AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 be givenH5414[H8714] to AdonijahH138 thy brotherH251 to wifeH802. |
[No book] |
[22]And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799] unto his motherH517, And why dost thou askH7592[H8802] AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 for AdonijahH138? askH7592[H8798] 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. |
[No book] |
[23]Then kingH4428 SolomonH8010 swareH7650[H8735] by the LORDH3068, sayingH559[H8800], GodH430 doH6213[H8799] so to me, and more alsoH3254[H8686], if AdonijahH138 have not spokenH1696[H8765] this wordH1697 against his own lifeH5315. |
[No book] |
[24]Now therefore, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, which hath establishedH3559[H8689] me, and setH3427[H8686] me on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and who hath madeH6213[H8804] me an houseH1004, as he promisedH1696[H8765], AdonijahH138 shall be put to deathH4191[H8714] this dayH3117. |
[No book] |
[25]And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971[H8799] by the handH3027 of BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; and he fellH6293[H8799] upon him that he diedH4191.[H8799] |
[No book] |
[26]And unto AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 saidH559[H8804] the kingH4428, GetH3212[H8798] thee to AnathothH6068, unto thine own fieldsH7704; for thou art worthyH376 of deathH4194: but I will not at this timeH3117 put thee to deathH4191[H8686], because thou barestH5375[H8804] the arkH727 of the LordH136 GODH3069 beforeH6440 DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and because thou hast been afflictedH6031[H8694] in all wherein my fatherH1 was afflictedH6031.[H8694] |
[No book] |
[27]So SolomonH8010 thrust outH1644[H8762] AbiatharH54 from being priestH3548 unto the LORDH3068; that he might fulfilH4390[H8763] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696[H8765] concerning the houseH1004 of EliH5941 in ShilohH7887. |
[No book] |
[28]Then tidingsH8052 cameH935[H8804] to JoabH3097: for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186[H8804] afterH310 AdonijahH138, though he turnedH5186[H8804] not afterH310 AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127[H8799] unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and caught holdH2388[H8686] on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196. |
[No book] |
[29]And it was toldH5046[H8714] kingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 was fledH5127[H8804] unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068; and, behold, he is byH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971[H8799] BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559[H8800], GoH3212[H8798], fallH6293 upon himH8798. |
[No book] |
[30]And BenaiahH1141 cameH935[H8799] to the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Thus saithH559[H8804] the kingH4428, Come forthH3318[H8798]. And he saidH559[H8799], Nay; but I will dieH4191[H8799] here. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725[H8686], sayingH559[H8800], Thus saidH1696[H8765] JoabH3097, and thus he answeredH6030 meH8804. |
[No book] |
[31]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto him, DoH6213[H8798] as he hath saidH1696[H8765], and fallH6293[H8798] upon him, and buryH6912[H8804] him; that thou mayest take awayH5493[H8689] the innocentH2600 bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210[H8804], from me, and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1. |
[No book] |
[32]And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725[H8689] his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293[H8804] upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026[H8799] them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045[H8804] 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. |
[No book] |
[33]Their bloodH1818 shall therefore returnH7725[H8804] 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. |
[No book] |
[34]So BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 went upH5927[H8799], and fellH6293[H8799] upon him, and slewH4191[H8686] him: and he was buriedH6912[H8735] in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057. |
