1 Kings 2:25-46

25And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 by the handH3027 of BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; and he fellH6293 upon him that he diedH4191.

26And unto AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 saidH559 the kingH4428, GetH3212 thee to AnathothH6068, unto thine own fieldsH7704; for thou art worthyH376 of deathH4194: but I will not at this timeH3117 put thee to deathH4191, because thou barestH5375 the arkH727 of the LordH136 YhwhH3069 beforeH6440 DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and because thou hast been afflictedH6031 in all wherein my fatherH1 was afflictedH6031.1 27So SolomonH8010 thrust outH1644 AbiatharH54 from being priestH3548 unto YhwhH3068; that he might fulfilH4390 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, which he spakeH1696 concerning the houseH1004 of EliH5941 in ShilohH7887.

28Then tidingsH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097: for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 afterH310 AdonijahH138, though he turnedH5186 not afterH310 AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of YhwhH3068, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196. 29And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 was fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of YhwhH3068; and, behold, he is byH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH3212, fallH6293 upon him. 30And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tabernacleH168 of YhwhH3068, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Come forthH3318. And he saidH559, Nay; but I will dieH4191 here. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, sayingH559, Thus saidH1696 JoabH3097, and thus he answeredH6030 me. 31And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH1696, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest take awayH5493 the innocentH2600 bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me, and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1. 32And YhwhH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045 thereof, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the armyH6635 of JudahH3063. 33Their bloodH1818 shall therefore returnH7725 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 be peaceH7965 forH5704 everH5769 from YhwhH3068. 34So BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 went upH5927, and fellH6293 upon him, and slewH4191 him: and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.

35And the kingH4428 putH5414 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 in his room over the armyH6635: and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 did the kingH4428 putH5414 in the room of AbiatharH54.

36And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, BuildH1129 thee an houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, and dwellH3427 there, and go not forthH3318 thence any whitherH575. 37For it shall be, that on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and passest overH5674 the brookH5158 KidronH6939, thou shalt knowH3045 for certainH3045 that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191: thy bloodH1818 shall be upon thine own headH7218. 38And ShimeiH8096 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The sayingH1697 is goodH2896: as my lordH113 the kingH4428 hath saidH1696, so will thy servantH5650 doH6213. And ShimeiH8096 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 manyH7227 daysH3117. 39And it came to pass at the endH7093 of threeH7969 yearsH8141, that twoH8147 of the servantsH5650 of ShimeiH8096 ran awayH1272 unto AchishH397 sonH1121 of MaachahH4601 kingH4428 of GathH1661. And they toldH5046 ShimeiH8096, sayingH559, Behold, thy servantsH5650 be in GathH1661. 40And ShimeiH8096 aroseH6965, and saddledH2280 his donkeyH2543, and wentH3212 to GathH1661 to AchishH397 to seekH1245 his servantsH5650: and ShimeiH8096 wentH3212, and broughtH935 his servantsH5650 from GathH1661. 41And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010 that ShimeiH8096 had goneH1980 from JerusalemH3389 to GathH1661, and was come againH7725. 42And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, Did I not make thee to swearH7650 by YhwhH3068, and protestedH5749 unto thee, sayingH559, KnowH3045 for a certainH3045, on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and walkestH1980 abroad any whitherH575, that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191? and thou saidstH559 unto me, The wordH1697 that I have heardH8085 is goodH2896. 43Why then hast thou not keptH8104 the oathH7621 of YhwhH3068, and the commandmentH4687 that I have chargedH6680 thee with? 44The kingH4428 saidH559 moreover to ShimeiH8096, Thou knowestH3045 all the wickednessH7451 which thine heartH3824 is privy toH3045, that thou didstH6213 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1: Therefore YhwhH3068 shall returnH7725 thy wickednessH7451 upon thine own headH7218; 45And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 shall be blessedH1288, and the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 forH5704 everH5769. 46So the kingH4428 commandedH6680 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; which went outH3318, and fellH6293 upon him, that he diedH4191. And the kingdomH4467 was establishedH3559 in the handH3027 of SolomonH8010.
