1 Kings 2:22-46

2:22

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>_.

2:23

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>_.

2:24

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>_.

2:25

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)_.

2:26

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}

2:27

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>_.

2:28

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>_.

2:29

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.

2:30

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.

2:31

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>_.

2:32

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>_.

2:33

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>_.

2:34

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>_.

2:35

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>_.

2:36

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>_.

2:37

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>_.

2:38

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>_.

2:39

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>_.

2:40

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>_.

2:41

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)_.

2:42

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>_.

2:43

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?

2:44

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>_;

2:45

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>_.

2:46

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>_.
