1 Kings 2:1-8

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}
