1: And drew nearH7126 the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 that he should die-H4191 and he chargedH6680 -H0853 SolomonH8010 his son,H1121 saying,H0559
2: IH0595 goH1980 the wayH1870 of allH3605 the earth.H0776 Therefore be strongH2388 and prove yourselfH1961 a man-H0376
3: and keepH8104 -H0853 the chargeH4931 of YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 to walkH1980 in His ways,H1870 to keepH8104 His statutes,H2708 His commandments,H4687 and His judgments,H4941 and His testimonies,H5715 as it is writtenH3789 in the LawH8451 of Moses,H4872 thatH4616 you may prosperH7919 -H0853 in allH3605 thatH0834 you do,H6213 andH0853 allH3605 whereverH0834 you turnH6437 in it.H8033
4: ThatH4616 may fulfillH6965 YahwehH3068 -H0853 His wordH1697 whichH0834 He spokeH1696 concerning meH5921 saying,H0559 ifH0518 take heedH8104 your sonsH1121 toH0853 their way,H1870 to walkH1980 before MeH6440 in truthH0571 with allH3605 their heartH3824 and with allH3605 their soul,H5315 He saidH0559 notH3808 shall lackH3772 a manH0376 onH5921 the throneH3678 of Israel.H3478
5: Moreover alsoH1571 youH0859 knowH3045 -H0853 whatH0834 didH6213 JoabH3097 sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 [and] whatH0834 he didH6213 to twoH8147 the commandersH8269 of the armiesH6635 of Israel,H3478 to AbnerH0074 sonH1121 of Ner,H5369 and AmasaH6021 sonH1121 of Jether,H3500 and whom he killed,H2026 and he shedH7760 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 in peacetime,H7965 and putH5414 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 on his beltH2290 that [was]H0834 around his waist,H4975 and on his sandalsH5275 that [were]H0834 on his feet.H7272
6: Therefore doH6213 according to your wisdom,H2451 and notH3808 do let go downH3381 his gray hairH7872 in peaceH7965 to the grave.H7585
7: But to the sonsH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the Gileadite,H1569 showH6213 kindnessH2617 and let them beH1961 among those who eatH0398 at your table-H7979 for soH3588 soH3651 they cameH7126 to meH0413 when I fledH1272 fromH6440 AbsalomH0053 your brother.H0251
8: And see,H2009 [you have] with youH5973 ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of Gera,H1617 a BenjamiteH1145 from BahurimH0980 and heH1931 cursed meH7043 with a curseH7045 maliciousH4834 in the dayH3117 when I wentH1980 to Mahanaim.H4266 But heH1931 came downH3381 to meet meH7125 at the Jordan,H3383 and I sworeH7650 by Yahweh,H3068 saying,H0559 notH0518 I will put you to deathH4191 with the sword.H2719
9: Now thereforeH6258 notH0408 do hold him guiltless-H5352 forH3588 a man,H0376 wiseH2450 you [are]H0859 and knowH3045 -H0853 whatH0834 you ought to doH6213 but bring downH3381 -H0853 his gray hairH7872 in bloodH1818 to the grave.H7585
10: So restedH7901 DavidH1732 withH5973 his fathers,H0001 and was buriedH6912 in the CityH5892 of David.H1732
11: And the period [was]H3117 thatH0834 reignedH4427 DavidH1732 overH5921 IsraelH3478 fortyH0705 years-H8141 in Hebron,H2275 he reignedH4427 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 and in Jerusalem.H3389 He reignedH4427 thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 years.H8141
12: And SolomonH8010 satH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 his father-H0001 and was establishedH3559 his kingdomH4428 firmly.H3966
13: And cameH0935 AdonijahH0138 sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 toH0413 BathshebaH1339 the motherH0517 of Solomon.H8010 So she said,H0559 do peaceably?H7965 you comeH0935 and he said,H0559 Peaceably.H7965
14: Moreover he saidH0559 have something [to say]H1697 to youH0413 and she said,H0559 Say it.H1696
15: And he said,H0559 YouH0859 knowH3045 thatH3588 wasH1961 the kingdomH4410 and on meH5921 had setH7760 allH3605 IsraelH3478 their expectationsH6440 that I should reign-H4427 and However has been turned over,H5437 the kingdomH4410 and has becomeH1961 of my brother,H0251 forH3588 from YahwehH3068 it wasH1961
16: NowH6258 petitionH7596 oneH0259 IH0595 askH7592 of youH0853 not.H0408 Do denyH7725 -H0853 meH6440 and she saidH0559 to himH0413 Say it.H1696
17: And he said,H0559 speak,H0559 please,H4994 to SolomonH8010 the King,H4428 forH3588 notH3808 he will refuseH7725 -H0853 youH6440 that he may giveH5414 -H0853 AbishagH0049 ShunammitessH7767 as wife.H0802
18: So said,H0559 BathshebaH1339 Very well-H2896 IH0595 will speakH1696 for youH5921 toH0413 the king.H4428
19: Therefore wentH0935 BathshebaH1339 toH0413 KingH4428 Solomon,H8010 to speakH1696 forH5921 Adonijah.H0138 And rose upH6965 the kingH4428 to meet herH7125 and bowed downH7812 and sat downH3427 onH5921 his throne,H3678 and had setH7760 a throneH3678 for mother-H0517 of the kingH4428 so she satH3427 at his right hand.H3225
20: And she said,H0559 petitionH7596 oneH0259 smallH6996 IH0595 desireH7592 of youH0853 not.H0408 Do refuseH7725 -H0853 meH6440 and saidH0559 the kingH4428 Ask it,H7592 my mother,H0517 forH3588 notH3808 I will refuseH7725 -H0853 you.H6440
21: So she said,H0559 let be givenH5414 -H0853 AbishagH0049 the ShunammitessH7767 to AdonijahH0138 your brotherH0251 as wife.H0802
22: And answeredH6030 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 and saidH0559 to his mother,H0517 and whyH4100 youH0859 do askH7592 -H0853 AbishagH0049 the ShunammitessH7767 for Adonijah?H0138 and Ask alsoH7592 -H0853 the kingdomH4410 forH3588 he [is]H1931 brother-H0251 olderH1419 myH4480 for AbiatharH0054 the priest,H3548 for JoabH3097 sonH1121 of Zeruiah.H6870
23: And sworeH7650 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 by Yahweh,H3068 saying,H0559 soH3541 May doH6213 GodH0430 and also,H3541 moreH3254 ifH3588 against his own life.H5315 Has not spokenH1696 AdonijahH0138 -H0853 wordH1697 this.H2088
24: And thereforeH6258 [as] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 whoH0834 has confirmed meH3559 and set meH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 my father,H0001 and whoH0834 has establishedH6213 a house,H1004 asH0834 He promised,H1696 surelyH3588 todayH3117 shall be put to deathH4191 Adonijah.H0138
25: So sentH7971 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 by the handH3027 of BenaiahH1141 sonH1121 of Jehoiada-H3077 and he struck downH6293 and he died.H4191
26: And to AbiatharH0054 the priestH3548 saidH0559 the king,H4428 to Anathoth,H6068 goH1980 toH5921 your own fields-H7704 forH3588 deservingH0376 of death-H4194 you [are]H0859 but at timeH3117 thisH2088 notH3808 I will put you to death,H4191 becauseH3588 you carriedH5375 -H0853 the arkH0727 of the LordH0136 GODH3069 beforeH6440 DavidH1732 my father,H0001 and becauseH3588 you were afflictedH6031 every [time]H3605 thereH0834 was afflictedH6031 my father.H0001
27: So removedH1644 SolomonH8010 -H0853 AbiatharH0054 from beingH1961 priestH3548 to Yahweh-H3068 that he might fulfillH4390 -H0853 the wordH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 whichH0834 He spokeH1696 concerningH5921 the houseH1004 of EliH5941 at Shiloh.H7887
28: And newsH8052 cameH0935 toH5704 Joab,H3097 forH3588 JoabH3097 had defectedH5186 toH0310 Adonijah,H0138 and though toH0310 Absalom.H0053 NotH3808 he had defectedH5186 so fledH5127 JoabH3097 toH0413 the tabernacleH0168 of Yahweh,H3068 and took holdH2388 of the hornsH7161 of the altar.H4196
29: And was toldH5046 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 thatH3588 has fledH5127 JoabH3097 toH0413 the tabernacleH0168 of Yahweh-H3068 and there [he is],H2009 byH0681 the altar.H4196 And sentH7971 SolomonH8010 -H0853 BenaiahH1141 sonH1121 of Jehoiada,H3077 saying,H0559 go,H1980 strike downH6293
30: So wentH0935 BenaiahH1141 toH0413 the tabernacleH0168 of Yahweh,H3068 and saidH0559 to himH0413 thusH3541 saysH0559 the king,H4428 come out.H3318 And he said,H0559 No-H3808 butH3588 here.H6311 I will dieH4191 and brought backH7725 BenaiahH1141 -H0853 to the kingH4428 wordH1697 saying,H0559 thusH3541 saidH1696 Joab,H3097 and thusH3541 he answered me.H6030
31: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 doH6213 asH0834 he has said,H1696 and strike downH6293 and bury himH6912 that you may take awayH5493 the blood,H1818 innocentH2600 whichH0834 shed,H8210 JoabH3097 from meH5921 and fromH5921 the houseH1004 of my father.H0001
32: So will returnH7725 YahwehH3068 -H0853 his bloodH1818 onH5921 his head,H7218 becauseH0834 he struck downH6293 twoH8147 menH0376 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than heH4480 and killed themH2026 with the sword,H2719 and though my fatherH0001 DavidH1732 notH3808 did know [it]H3045 -H0853 AbnerH0074 sonH1121 of Ner,H5369 the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of Israel,H3478 andH0853 AmasaH6021 sonH1121 of Jether,H3500 the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of Judah.H3063
33: Therefore shall returnH7725 their bloodH1818 upon the headH7218 of Joab,H3097 and upon the headH7218 of his descendantsH2233 forever-H5769 but upon David,H1732 and his descendants,H2233 and upon his house,H1004 and his throne,H3678 there shall beH1961 peaceH7965 forH5704 everH5769 fromH5973 Yahweh.H3068
34: So went up,H5927 BenaiahH1141 sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 and struckH6293 and killed himH4191 and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wilderness.H4057
35: And putH5414 the kingH4428 -H0853 BenaiahH1141 sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 in his placeH8478 overH5921 the army-H6635 andH0853 ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 putH5414 the kingH4428 in the placeH8478 of Abiathar.H0054
36: And sentH7971 the kingH4428 and calledH7121 for Shimei,H8096 and saidH0559 BuildH1129 a houseH1004 in Jerusalem,H3389 and dwellH3427 there,H8033 and notH3808 do go outH3318 from thereH8033 whereH0575 and where.H0575
37: For it shall be,H1961 on the dayH3117 you go out,H3318 and crossH5674 -H0853 the BrookH5158 Kidron,H6939 certainH3045 know forH3045 thatH3588 surelyH4191 you shall die-H4191 your bloodH1818 shall beH1961 on your own head.H7218
38: And saidH0559 ShimeiH8096 to the king,H4428 good.H2896 The saying [is]H1697 asH0834 has said,H1696 my lordH0113 the kingH4428 soH3651 will do.H6213 Your servantH5650 so dweltH3427 ShimeiH8096 in JerusalemH3389 daysH3117 many.H7227
39: And it came to passH1961 at the endH7093 of threeH7969 years,H8141 that ran awayH1272 twoH8147 slavesH5650 of ShimeiH8096 toH0413 AchishH0397 sonH1121 of MaachahH4601 kingH4428 of Gath.H1661 And they toldH5046 Shimei,H8096 saying,H0559 Look,H2009 your slaves [are]H5650 in Gath.H1661
40: So arose,H6965 ShimeiH8096 and saddledH2280 -H0853 his donkey,H2543 and wentH1980 at GathH1661 toH0413 AchishH0397 to seekH1245 -H0853 his slaves.H5650 And went,H1980 ShimeiH8096 and broughtH0935 -H0853 his slavesH5650 from Gath.H1661

42: And sentH7971 the kingH4428 and calledH7121 for Shimei,H8096 and saidH0559 to himH0413 did notH3808 I make you swearH7650 by Yahweh,H3068 and warnH5749 saying,H0559 on the dayH3117 you go out,H3318 and travelH1980 whereH0575 and where,H0575 certainH3045 Know forH3045 thatH3588 surelyH4191 you shall die?H4191 and you saidH0559 to meH0413 goodH2896 the word [is]H1697 I have heard.H8085
43: Then whyH4069 notH3808 have you keptH8104 -H0853 the oathH7621 of Yahweh,H3068 andH0853 the commandmentH4687 thatH0834 I gaveH6680 you.H5921
44: And moreover saidH0559 the kingH4428 toH0413 Shimei,H8096 YouH0859 knowH3045 -H0853 allH3605 the wickednessH7451 asH0834 acknowledges,H3045 your heartH3824 thatH0834 you didH6213 to DavidH1732 my father-H0001 therefore will returnH7725 YahwehH3068 -H0853 your wickednessH7451 on your own head-H7218
45: but KingH4428 SolomonH8010 [shall be] blessed,H1288 and the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 shall beH1961 establishedH3559 beforeH6440 YahwehH3068 forH5704 ever.H5769
