1Kings:2:13-46




gltv@1Kings:2:13 @ And Adonijah the son of Haggith came in to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said, Do you come in peace? And he said, Peace.

gltv@1Kings:2:14 @ And he said, A word to you and to me? And she said, Speak.

gltv@1Kings:2:15 @ And he said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces toward me to reign. Yet the kingdom has been turned around and is my brother's, because it was his from Jehovah.

gltv@1Kings:2:16 @ And now I am asking one petition of you. Do not turn away your face. And she said to him, Speak.

gltv@1Kings:2:17 @ And he said, Please speak to king Solomon, for he will not turn away your face, that he give to me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife.

gltv@1Kings:2:18 @ And Bathsheba said, Well! I will speak to the king for you.

gltv@1Kings:2:19 @ And Bathsheba came in to king Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat on his throne, and placed a throne for the king's mother. And she sat at his right hand.

gltv@1Kings:2:20 @ And she said, I ask one small petition of you. Do not turn away my face. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, for I will not turn away your face.

gltv@1Kings:2:21 @ And she said, let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah for a wife.

gltv@1Kings:2:22 @ And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why are you asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Also ask the kingdom for him, for he is my older brother; yea, for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

gltv@1Kings:2:23 @ And king Solomon swore by Jehovah, saying, So shall God do to me, and so shall He do more, if not Adonijah has not spoken this word against his life.

gltv@1Kings:2:24 @ And now, as Jehovah lives, who has established me and caused me to sit on the throne of my father David, and who has made a house for me, as He spoke, surely today Adonijah shall be put to death.

gltv@1Kings:2:25 @ And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he fell on him, and he died.

gltv@1Kings:2:26 @ And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Go to Anathoth, to your fields. For you are deserving of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you have borne the ark of the Lord Jehovah before my father David, and because you were afflicted in all the things with which my father was afflicted.

gltv@1Kings:2:27 @ And Solomon drove Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfill the word of Jehovah which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

gltv@1Kings:2:28 @ And the report came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah though he did not turn aside after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tabernacle of Jehovah, and lay hold on the horns of the altar.

gltv@1Kings:2:29 @ And it was told to king Solomon that Joab had fled to the tabernacle of Jehovah, and, behold, he was by the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on him.

gltv@1Kings:2:30 @ And Benaiah came into the tabernacle of Jehovah and said to him, So says the king, Come out. And he said, No, but I will die here. And Benaiah brought back word to the king, saying, So says Joab. Yea, so he answered me.

gltv@1Kings:2:31 @ And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him, and turn aside the innocent blood which Joab shed, off of me and off of my father's house.

gltv@1Kings:2:32 @ And Jehovah shall turn back his blood on his own head, who has fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and murdered them with the sword; and my father David not knowing: Abner the son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah.

gltv@1Kings:2:33 @ Yea, He shall turn back their blood on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed forever. And as for David and for his seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there shall be peace forever from Jehovah.

gltv@1Kings:2:34 @ And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell on him, and executed him. And he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

gltv@1Kings:2:35 @ And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army. And the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

gltv@1Kings:2:36 @ And the king sent and called Shimei and said to him, Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there, and do not go out from there anywhere.

gltv@1Kings:2:37 @ And it shall be, in the day you go out and cross the torrent Kidron, you shall certainly know that dying you shall die; your blood shall be on your head.

gltv@1Kings:2:38 @ And Shimei said to the king, The word is good. As my lord the king has spoken, so your servant shall do. And Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.

gltv@1Kings:2:39 @ And it happened at the end of three years, two of Shimei's servants fled to Achish the son of Maachah, the king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, your servants are in Gath.

gltv@1Kings:2:40 @ And Shimei rose up and saddled his ass and went to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants. And Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath.

gltv@1Kings:2:41 @ And it was told to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.

gltv@1Kings:2:42 @ And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not cause you to swear by Jehovah, and testify to you, saying, In the day you go out, and you have gone anywhere, you certainly shall know that you shall surely die. And you said to me, The word I have heard is good.

gltv@1Kings:2:43 @ And why have you not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the charge that I commanded you?

gltv@1Kings:2:44 @ And the king said to Shimei, You shall know all the evil that your heart has known, that which you did to my father David. Now Jehovah has turned back your evil on your head.

gltv@1Kings:2:45 @ And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah forever.

gltv@1Kings:2:46 @ And the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell on him, and he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
