1 Kings 2

CKJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H3117 Now the days H1732 of David H7126 drew near H4191 that he should die; H6680 and he commanded H8010 Solomon H1121 his son, H559 saying,
  2 H1980 I go H1870 the way H776 of all the earth: H2388 be you strong H376 therefore, and show yourself a man;
  3 H8104 And keep H4931 the charge H3068 of the Lord H430 your God, H3212 to walk H1870 in his ways, H8104 to keep H2708 his statutes, H4687 and his commandments, H4941 and his judgments, H5715 and his testimonies, H3789 as it is written H8451 in the law H4872 of Moses, H7919 that you may prosper H6213 in all that you do, H6437 and wherever you turnest yourself:
  4 H3068 That the Lord H6965 may continue H1697 his word H1696 which he spoke H559 concerning me, saying, H1121 If your sons H8104 take care H1870 to their way, H3212 to walk H6440 before H571 me in truth H3824 with all their heart H5315 and with all their soul, H3772 there shall not fail H559 you (said H376 he) a man H3678 on the throne H3478 of Israel.
  5 H3045 Moreover you know H3097 also what Joab H1121 the son H6870 of Zeruiah H6213 did H6213 to me, and what he did H8147 to the two H8269 captains H6635 of the hosts H3478 of Israel, H74 unto Abner H1121 the son H5369 of Ner, H6021 and unto Amasa H1121 the son H3500 of Jether, H2026 whom he killed, H7760 and shed H1818 the blood H4421 of war H7965 in peace, H5414 and put H1818 the blood H4421 of war H2290 upon his belt H4975 that was about his body, H5275 and in his shoes H7272 that were on his feet.
  6 H6213 Do H2451 therefore according to your wisdom, H7872 and let not his gray head H3381 go down H7585 to the grave H7965 in peace.
  7 H6213 But show H2617 kindness H1121 unto the sons H1271 of Barzillai H1569 the Gileadite, H398 and let them be of those that eat H7979 at your table: H7126 for so they came H1272 to me when I fled H6440 because H53 of Absalom H251 your brother.
  8 H8096 And, behold, you have with you Shimei H1121 the son H1617 of Gera, H1145 a Benjamite H980 of Bahurim, H7043 which cursed H4834 me with a severe H7045 curse H3117 in the day H3212 when I went H4266 to Mahanaim: H3381 but he came down H7125 to meet H3383 me at Jordan, H7650 and I swore H3068 to him by the Lord, H559 saying, H4191 I will not put you to death H2719 with the sword.
  9 H5352 Now therefore hold him not guiltless: H2450 for you are a wise H376 man, H3045 and know H6213 what you should to do H7872 unto him; but his gray head H3381 bring you down H7585 to the grave H1818 with blood.
  10 H1732 So David H7901 slept H1 with his fathers, H6912 and was buried H5892 in the city H1732 of David.
  11 H3117 And the days H1732 that David H4427 reigned H3478 over Israel H705 were forty H8141 years: H7651 seven H8141 years H4427 reigned H2275 he in Hebron, H7970 and thirty H7969 and three H8141 years H4427 reigned H3389 he in Jerusalem.
  12 H3427 Then sat H8010 Solomon H3678 upon the throne H1732 of David H1 his father; H4438 and his kingdom H3559 was established H3966 greatly.
  13 H138 And Adonijah H1121 the son H2294 of Haggith H935 came H1339 to Bath–sheba H517 the mother H8010 of Solomon. H559 And she said, H935 Come H7965 you peaceably? H559 And he said, H7965 Peaceably.
  14 H559 He said H1697 moreover, I have somewhat to say H559 unto you. And she said, H1696 Say on.
  15 H559 And he said, H3045 You know H4410 that the kingdom H3478 was my, and that all Israel H7760 set H6440 their faces H4427 on me, that I should reign: H4410 but the kingdom H5437 is turned about, H251 and is become my brother's: H3068 for it was his from the Lord.
  16 H7592 And now I ask H259 one H7596 petition H7725 of you, deny H6440 me H559 not. And she said H1696 unto him, Say on.
  17 H559 And he said, H559 Speak, H8010 I pray you, unto Solomon H4428 the king, H7725 (for he will not say H6440 you H7725 No,) H5414 that he give H49 me Abishag H7767 the Shunammite H802 to wife.
  18 H1339 And Bath–sheba H559 said, H2896 Well; H1696 I will speak H4428 for you unto the king.
  19 H1339 Bath–sheba H935 therefore went H4428 unto king H8010 Solomon, H1696 to speak H138 unto him for Adonijah. H4428 And the king H6965 rose up H7125 to meet H7812 her, and bowed H3427 himself unto her, and sat down H3678 on his throne, H3678 and caused a seat H7760 to be set H4428 for the king's H517 mother; H3427 and she sat H3225 on his right hand.
  20 H559 Then she said, H7592 I desire H259 one H6996 small H7596 petition H7725 of you; I pray you, say H6440 me H7725 not No. H4428 And the king H559 said H7592 unto her, Ask on, H517 my mother: H7725 for I will not say H6440 you H7725 No.
  21 H559 And she said, H49 Let Abishag H7767 the Shunammite H5414 be given H138 to Adonijah H251 your brother H802 to wife.
  22 H4428 And king H8010 Solomon H6030 answered H559 and said H517 unto his mother, H7592 And why do you ask H49 Abishag H7767 the Shunammite H138 for Adonijah? H7592 ask H4410 for him the kingdom H1419 also; for he is my elder H251 brother; H54 even for him, and for Abiathar H3548 the priest, H3097 and for Joab H1121 the son H6870 of Zeruiah.
  23 H4428 Then king H8010 Solomon H7650 swore H3068 by the Lord, H559 saying, H430 God H6213 do H3254 so to me, and more also, H138 if Adonijah H1696 have not spoken H1697 this word H5315 against his own life.
  24 H3068 Now therefore, as the Lord H2416 lives, H3559 which has established H3427 me, and set H3678 me on the throne H1732 of David H1 my father, H6213 and who has made H1004 me an house, H1696 as he promised, H138 Adonijah H4191 shall be put to death H3117 this day.
  25 H4428 And king H8010 Solomon H7971 sent H3027 by the hand H1141 of Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada; H6293 and he fell H4191 upon him that he died.
  26 H54 And unto Abiathar H3548 the priest H559 said H4428 the king, H3212 Get H6068 you to Anathoth, H7704 unto your own fields; H376 for you are worthy H4194 of death: H3117 but I will not at this time H4191 put you to death, H5375 because you bore H727 the ark H136 of the Lord H3069 God H6440 before H1732 David H1 my father, H6031 and because you have been afflicted H1 in all where my father H6031 was afflicted.
  27 H8010 So Solomon H1644 thrust out H54 Abiathar H3548 from being priest H3068 unto the Lord; H4390 that he might fulfill H1697 the word H3068 of the Lord, H1696 which he spoke H1004 concerning the house H5941 of Eli H7887 in Shiloh.
  28 H8052 Then tidings H935 came H3097 to Joab: H3097 for Joab H5186 had turned H310 after H138 Adonijah, H5186 though he turned H310 not after H53 Absalom. H3097 And Joab H5127 fled H168 unto the tabernacle H3068 of the Lord, H2388 and caught hold H7161 on the horns H4196 of the altar.
  29 H5046 And it was told H4428 king H8010 Solomon H3097 that Joab H5127 was fled H168 unto the tabernacle H3068 of the Lord; H681 and, behold, he is by H4196 the altar. H8010 Then Solomon H7971 sent H1141 Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada, H559 saying, H3212 Go, H6293 fall upon him.
  30 H1141 And Benaiah H935 came H168 to the tabernacle H3068 of the Lord, H559 and said H559 unto him, Thus says H4428 the king, H3318 Come forth. H559 And he said, H4191 No; but I will die H1141 here. And Benaiah H7725 brought H4428 the king H1697 word H7725 again, H559 saying, H1696 Thus said H3097 Joab, H6030 and thus he answered me.
  31 H4428 And the king H559 said H6213 unto him, Do H1696 as he has said, H6293 and fall H6912 upon him, and bury H5493 him; that you may take away H2600 the innocent H1818 blood, H3097 which Joab H8210 shed, H1004 from me, and from the house H1 of my father.
  32 H3068 And the Lord H7725 shall return H1818 his blood H7218 upon his own head, H6293 who fell H8147 upon two H582 men H6662 more righteous H2896 and better H2026 than he, and killed H2719 them with the sword, H1 my father H1732 David H3045 not knowing H74 there, to know, Abner H1121 the son H5369 of Ner, H8269 captain H6635 of the army H3478 of Israel, H6021 and Amasa H1121 the son H3500 of Jether, H8269 captain H6635 of the army H3063 of Judah.
  33 H1818 Their blood H7725 shall therefore return H7218 upon the head H3097 of Joab, H7218 and upon the head H2233 of his seed H5769 for ever: H1732 but upon David, H2233 and upon his seed, H1004 and upon his house, H3678 and upon his throne, H7965 shall there be peace H5704 for H5769 ever H3068 from the Lord.
  34 H1141 So Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada H5927 went up, H6293 and fell H4191 upon him, and killed H6912 him: and he was buried H1004 in his own house H4057 in the wilderness.
  35 H4428 And the king H5414 put H1141 Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada H6635 in his room over the army: H6659 and Zadok H3548 the priest H4428 did the king H5414 put H54 in the room of Abiathar.
  36 H4428 And the king H7971 sent H7121 and called H8096 for Shimei, H559 and said H1129 unto him, Build H1004 you a house H3389 in Jerusalem, H3427 and live H3318 there, and go not forth H575 there any where.
  37 H3117 For it shall be, that on the day H3318 you go out, H5674 and pass over H5158 the brook H6939 Kidron, H3045 you shall know H3045 for certain H4191 that you shall surely H4191 die: H1818 your blood H7218 shall be upon your own head.
  38 H8096 And Shimei H559 said H4428 unto the king, H1697 The saying H2896 is good: H113 as my lord H4428 the king H1696 has said, H5650 so will your servant H6213 do. H8096 And Shimei H3427 lived H3389 in Jerusalem H7227 many H3117 days.
  39 H7093 And it came to pass at the end H7969 of three H8141 years, H8147 that two H5650 of the servants H8096 of Shimei H1272 ran away H397 unto Achish H1121 son H4601 of Maachah H4428 king H1661 of Gath. H5046 And they told H8096 Shimei, H559 saying, H5650 Behold, your servants H1661 be in Gath.
  40 H8096 And Shimei H6965 arose, H2280 and saddled H2543 his donkey, H3212 and went H1661 to Gath H397 to Achish H1245 to seek H5650 his servants: H8096 and Shimei H3212 went, H935 and brought H5650 his servants H1661 from Gath.
  41 H5046 And it was told H8010 Solomon H8096 that Shimei H1980 had gone H3389 from Jerusalem H1661 to Gath, H7725 and was come again.
  42 H4428 And the king H7971 sent H7121 and called H8096 for Shimei, H559 and said H7650 unto him, Did I not make you to swear H3068 by the Lord, H5749 and protested H559 unto you, saying, H3045 Know H3045 for a certain, H3117 on the day H3318 you go out, H1980 and walk H575 abroad any where, H4191 that you shall surely H4191 die? H559 and you said H1697 unto me, The word H8085 that I have heard H2896 is good.
  43 H8104 Why then have you not kept H7621 the oath H3068 of the Lord, H4687 and the commandment H6680 that I have commanded you with?
  44 H4428 The king H559 said H8096 moreover to Shimei, H3045 You know H7451 all the wickedness H3824 which your heart H3045 is privy to, H6213 that you did H1732 to David H1 my father: H3068 therefore the Lord H7725 shall return H7451 your wickedness H7218 upon your own head;
  45 H4428 And king H8010 Solomon H1288 shall be blessed, H3678 and the throne H1732 of David H3559 shall be established H6440 before H3068 the Lord H5704 for H5769 ever.
  46 H4428 So the king H6680 commanded H1141 Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada; H3318 which went out, H6293 and fell H4191 upon him, that he died. H4467 And the kingdom H3559 was established H3027 in the hand H8010 of Solomon.
