Solomon answered all her questions; there was no question too complex for the king.

When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had then returned,

When Obadiah went and informed Ahab, the king went to meet Elijah.

Now, my master, O king, all Israel is watching anxiously to see who is named to succeed my master the king on the throne.

The king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” Nathan entered and bowed before the king with his face to the floor.

Take ten loaves of bread, some small cakes, and a container of honey and visit him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.”

Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, including a detailed account of how he killed all the prophets with the sword.

The servants of the district governors led the march. When Ben Hadad sent messengers, they reported back to him, “Men are marching out of Samaria.”

Solomon was told, “Look, Adonijah fears you; see, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘May King Solomon solemnly promise me today that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’”

When King Solomon heard that Joab had run to the tent of the Lord and was right there beside the altar, he ordered Benaiah son of Jehoiada, “Go, strike him down.”

Three years later two of Shimei’s servants ran away to King Achish son of Maacah of Gath. Shimei was told, “Look, your servants are in Gath.”

I did not believe these things until I came and saw them with my own eyes. Indeed, I didn’t hear even half the story! Your wisdom and wealth surpass what was reported to me.

But when I leave you, the Lord’s spirit will carry you away so I can’t find you. If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me. That would not be fair, because your servant has been a loyal follower of the Lord from my youth.

Certainly my master is aware of what I did when Jezebel was killing the Lord’s prophets. I hid one hundred of the Lord’s prophets in two caves in two groups of fifty and I brought them food and water.
