1 Kings 2:23-34

23Then kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sware by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, GodH430 doH6213 soH6213 to meH5315, and moreH3254 also, ifH3588 AdonijahH138 have notH2088 spokenH1696 this wordH1697 againstH1696 his ownH5315 lifeH5315.

24NowH6258 therefore as the LORDH3068 liveth, who hath establishedH3559 meH5921, and setH3559 meH5921 on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and who hath madeH6213 meH5921 an houseH1004, as he promisedH1696, surelyH3588 AdonijahH138 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191 this dayH3117.

25And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 by the handH3027 of BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; and he fellH6293 uponH6293 him, that he diedH4191.

26And unto AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 saidH559 the kingH4428, Get thee to AnathothH6068, unto thine ownH376 fieldsH7704; for thou art worthy of deathH4191: but I will notH3808 at this time putH4191 thee to deathH4191, becauseH3588 thou barest the arkH727 of the LordH136 GODH136 beforeH6440 DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and becauseH3588 thou wast afflictedH5921 in allH3605 whereinH834 my fatherH1 was afflictedH5921.

27SoH1961 SolomonH8010 thrust outH1644 AbiatharH54 from beingH1961 priestH3548 unto the LORDH3068; that he might fulfillH4390 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, whichH834 he spake concerning the houseH1004 of EliH5941 in ShilohH7887.

28And the tidingsH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097: for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 afterH310 AdonijahH138, thoughH3588 he turnedH5186 notH3808 afterH310 AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 unto the TentH168 of the LORDH3068, and caughtH2388 holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.

29And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010, JoabH3097 is fledH5127 unto the TentH168 of the LORDH3068, and, beholdH2009, he is by the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH7971, fallH6293 uponH413 him.

30And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the TentH168 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428, ComeH935 forthH3318. And he saidH559, Nay; but I will dieH4191 hereH6311. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH935 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saidH559 JoabH3097, and thusH3541 he answeredH559 meH413.

31And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH559, and fallH6293 uponH5921 him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest takeH5493 awayH5493 the bloodH1818, whichH834 JoabH3097 shedH8210 withoutH2600 causeH2600, from meH5921 and from my father’sH1 houseH1004.

32And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 uponH5921 his ownH376 headH7218, becauseH5921 he fellH6293 uponH5921 twoH8147 menH376 moreH4480 righteousH6662 and betterH2896 thanH4480 he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, and my fatherH1 DavidH1732 knewH3045 it notH3808, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.

33SoH1961 shall their bloodH1818 returnH7725 uponH1961 the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and uponH1961 the headH7218 of his seedH2233 for everH5769: but unto DavidH1732, and unto his seedH2233, and unto his houseH1004, and unto his throneH3678, shall there be peaceH7965 for everH5769 from the LORDH3068.

34Then BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 wentH5927 upH5927, and fellH6293 uponH6293 him, and slew him; and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.
