@ Now the
days
of
David
drew
nigh
that he should
die

charged
Solomon
his
son
,
saying

strkjv@1Kings:2:2
@ I
go
the
way
of all the
earth
: be thou
strong
therefore, and shew thyself a
man
;
strkjv@1Kings:2:3

keep

of the
LORD
thy
God
, to
walk
in his
ways
, to
keep
his
statutes
, and his
commandments
, and his
judgments
, and his
testimonies
, as it is
written
in the
law
of
Moses
, that thou mayest
prosper
in all that thou
doest
, and whithersoever thou
turnest
thyself:
strkjv@1Kings:2:4
@ That the
LORD
may
continue
his
word

spake
concerning me,

children
take
heed
to their
way

walk
before
me in
truth
with all their
heart
and with all their
soul
, there shall not
fail
thee (
said
he) a
man
on the
throne
of
Israel
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:5
@ Moreover thou
knowest
also what
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
did
to me, and what he
did
to the
two
captains
of the
hosts
of
Israel
, unto
Abner
the
son
of
Ner
, and unto
Amasa
the
son
of
Jether

slew
, and
shed
the
blood

war
in
peace
, and
put
the
blood
of
war
upon his
girdle
that was about his
loins

shoes
that were on his
feet

strkjv@1Kings:2:6
@
Do
therefore according to thy
wisdom
, and let not his hoar
head
go
down
to the
grave
in
peace

@ But
shew
kindness
unto the
sons
of
Barzillai

Gileadite

eat
at thy
table

came
to me when I
fled

of
Absalom

brother

strkjv@1Kings:2:8
@ And, behold, thou hast with thee
Shimei
the
son
of
Gera
, a
Benjamite
Ben-y@ of
Bahurim

cursed
me with a
grievous
curse
in the
day
when I
went
to
Mahanaim
: but he came
down
to
meet
me at
Jordan

sware
to him by the
LORD

saying

death

sword

down

grave

blood

strkjv@1Kings:2:10
@ So
David
slept
with his

buried
in the
city

David

strkjv@1Kings:2:11
@ And the
days
that
David
reigned
over

were
forty
years
:
seven
years
reigned
he in
Hebron
, and
thirty
and
three
years
reigned
he in
Jerusalem

strkjv@1Kings:2:12
@ Then
sat
Solomon
upon the
throne
of
David
his
father
; and his
kingdom
was
established
greatly
m@.
strkjv@1Kings:2:13
@ And
Adonijah
the
son
of
Haggith
came
to
Bathsheba
Bath- the
mother
of
Solomon
. And she
said
,
Comest
thou
peaceably
? And he
said
,
Peaceably
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:14
@ He
said
moreover, I have somewhat to
say
unto thee. And she
said

on

said

knowest
that the
kingdom
was mine, and that all
Israel
set
their
faces
on me, that I should
reign
: howbeit the
kingdom
is turned
about
, and is become my
brothers
: for it was his from the
LORD

ask
one
petition
of thee,

me
not. And she
said
unto him, Say
on

said

Solomon

give
me
Abishag

Shunammite

said

Well

speak
for thee unto the
king

strkjv@1Kings:2:19
@
Bathsheba
Bath- therefore
went
unto
king
Solomon
, to
speak
unto him for
Adonijah
. And the
king
rose
up
to
meet
her, and
bowed
himself unto her, and sat
down
on his
throne
, and caused a
seat
to be
set
for the
kings
mother
; and she
sat
on his right
hand

strkjv@1Kings:2:20
@ Then she
said

desire

small

said
unto her, Ask

said

Abishag

Shunammite
be
given
to
Adonijah
thy
brother
to
wife

strkjv@1Kings:2:22
@ And
king
Solomon
answered
and
said
unto his
mother
, And why dost thou
ask
Abishag
the
Shunammite
for
Adonijah
?
ask
for him the
kingdom
also; for he is mine
elder
brother
; even for him, and for
Abiathar
the
priest
, and for
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:23
@ Then
king
Solomon
sware
by the
LORD
,
saying
,
God
do
so to me, and more
also
, if
Adonijah
have not
spoken
this
word
against his own
life
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:24
@ Now therefore, as the
LORD
liveth
, which hath
established
me, and
set
me on the
throne
of
David
my
father
, and who hath
made
me an
house
, as he
promised
,
Adonijah
shall be put to
death
this
day
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:25
@ And
king
Solomon
sent
by the
hand
of
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
; and he
fell
upon him that he
died
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:26
@ And unto
Abiathar
the
priest
said
the
king
,
Get
thee to
Anathoth
, unto thine own
fields
; for thou art
worthy
of
death
: but I will not at this
time
put thee to
death
, because thou
barest
the
ark
of the
Lord
GOD
before
David
my
father
, and because thou hast been
afflicted
in all wherein my
father
was
afflicted
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:27
@ So
Solomon
thrust
out
Abiathar
from being
priest
unto the
LORD
; that he might
fulfil
the
word
of the
LORD
, which he
spake
concerning the
house
of
Eli
in
Shiloh
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:28
@ Then
tidings
came
to
Joab
: for
Joab
had
turned
after
Adonijah
, though he
turned
not
after
Absalom
. And
Joab
fled
unto the
tabernacle
of the
LORD
, and caught
hold
on the
horns
of the
altar
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:29
@ And it was
told
king
Solomon
that
Joab
was
fled
unto the
tabernacle
of the
LORD
; and, behold, he is
by
the
altar
. Then
Solomon
sent
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
,
saying
,
Go
,
fall
upon him.
strkjv@1Kings:2:30
@ And
Benaiah
came
to the
tabernacle
of the
LORD
, and
said
unto him, Thus
saith
the
king
, Come
forth
. And he
said
, Nay; but I will
die
here. And
Benaiah
brought
the
king
word
again
,
saying
, Thus
said
Joab
, and thus he
answered
me.
strkjv@1Kings:2:31
@ And the
king
said
unto him,
Do
as he hath
said
, and
fall
upon him, and
bury
him; that thou mayest take
away
the
innocent
blood
, which
Joab
shed
, from me, and from the
house
of my
father
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:32
@ And the
LORD
shall
return
his
blood
upon his own
head
, who
fell
upon
two
men
more
righteous
and
better
than he, and
slew
them with the
sword
, my
father
David
not
knowing
thereof, to wit,
Abner
the
son
of
Ner
,
captain
of the
host
of
Israel
, and
Amasa
the
son
of
Jether
,
captain
of the
host
of
Judah

strkjv@1Kings:2:33
@ Their
blood
shall therefore
return
upon the
head
of
Joab
, and upon the
head
of his
seed
for
ever
: but upon
David
, and upon his
seed
, and upon his
house
, and upon his
throne
, shall there be
peace
for
ever
from the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:34
@ So
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
went
up
, and
fell
upon him, and
slew
him: and he was
buried
in his own
house
in the
wilderness
.
strkjv@1Kings:2:35
@ And the
king
put
Benaiah
the
son

Jehoiada

Zadok

did the
king
put
in the room of
Abiathar

@ And the
king
sent

called

unto him,
Build
thee an
house

dwell
there, and go not
forth
thence any
whither

strkjv@1Kings:2:37
@ For it shall be, that on the
day

out

over

brook
Kidron

know

certain

surely
die
: thy
blood
shall be upon thine own
head

@ And
Shimei
said
unto the
king
, The
saying
is
good

lord
the
king
hath
said

servant
do

Shimei
dwelt
in
Jerusalem
many
days

three
years

two
of the

ran
away

king

told

saddled

went

seek

Shimei
went
, and
brought
his
servants

king
sent

unto thee,
saying
,
Know
for a
certain

day
thou goest
out

walkest
abroad any
whither

surely
die

saidst
unto me, The
word

heard

good

strkjv@1Kings:2:43
@ Why then hast thou not
kept
the
oath
of the
LORD
, and the
commandment
that I have
charged
thee with?

king
said
moreover to
Shimei
, Thou
knowest
all the
wickedness

heart
is privy
to

didst
