1 Kings 2:26-35
26And the kingH4428 saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Go to AnathothH6068, to thine own fieldsH7704; for thou art worthy of deathH4191; but I will not at this time putH4191 thee to deathH4191, because thou didst bearH5375 the arkH727 of Adonai Jehovah before DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my fatherH1 was afflicted.
27And SolomonH8010 thrust out AbiatharH54 from being priestH3548 to Jehovah, to fulfil the wordH1697 of Jehovah, which he had spokenH1696 concerning the houseH1004 of EliH5941 in ShilohH7887.
28And the reportH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097 (for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 after AdonijahH138, though he had not turnedH5186 after AbsalomH53); and JoabH3097 fledH5127 to the tentH168 of Jehovah, and caught holdH2388 of the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
29And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 had fledH5127 to the tentH168 of Jehovah; and behold, he is by the altarH4196. And SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH7971, fallH6293 on him.
30And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tentH168 of Jehovah and saidH559 to him, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428: ComeH935 forthH3318. And he saidH559, No; for I will dieH4191 hereH6311. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH935 the kingH4428 wordH1697 again, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saidH559 JoabH3097, and thusH3541 he answered me.
31And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, Do as he has saidH559, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; and take awayH5493 the innocent bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1.
32And Jehovah shall requite the bloodH1818 which he shed upon his own headH7218, because he fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH376 moreH4480 righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, without my fatherH1 David's knowledge: AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captain of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captain of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.
33And their bloodH1818 shall beH1961 requited 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 beH1961 peaceH7965 for everH5769 from Jehovah.
34And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 wentH5927 up and fellH6293 upon him, and putH4191 him to deathH4191; and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.
35And the kingH4428 putH5414 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 in his stead over the hostH6635; and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 the kingH4428 putH5414 in the stead of AbiatharH54.
