1 Kings 2 (KJV)

Now the days

of David

drew nigh

that he should die;

and he charged

Solomon

his son,

saying,

the way

of all

the earth:

be thou strong

therefore, and shew

thyself a man;

And keep

the charge

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

the law

of Moses,

that

thou mayest prosper

in all

that

thou doest,

and whithersoever

thou turnest

thyself:

That

the Lord

may continue

his word

which

he spake

concerning

me, saying,

thy children

take heed

their way,

to walk

before

me in truth

with all

their heart

and with all

their soul,

there shall not

fail

thee (said

he) a man

the throne

of Israel.

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,

whom he slew,

and shed

the blood

of war

in peace,

and put

the blood

of war

upon his girdle

that

was about his loins,

and in his shoes

that

were on his feet.

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

the Gileadite,

and let them be

of those that eat

at thy table:

for

they came

me when I fled

because

of Absalom

thy brother.

And, behold,

thou hast with

thee Shimei

the son

of Gera,

a Benjamite

of Bahurim,

which

cursed

me with a grievous

curse

in the day

when I went

to Mahanaim:

but he

came down

to meet

me at Jordan,

and I

So David

slept

with

his fathers,

and was buried

in the city

of David.

And the days

that

David

reigned

">Jerusalem.

Then sat

Solomon

upon

the throne

of David

his father;

and his kingdom

was established

greatly.

He said

moreover, I have somewhat to say

unto

thee. And she said,

Say on.

And now

ask

one

petition

thee, deny

not.

And she said

unto

him, Say on.

And he said,

Speak,

I pray thee,

unto Solomon

the king,

(for

he will not

say

thee

nay,)

that he give

Abishag

the Shunammite

to wife.

And Bath-sheba

said,

Well;

will speak

for

thee unto

the king.

Bath-sheba

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

his throne,

and caused a seat

to be set

for the king's

mother;

and she sat

on his right hand.

Then she said,

desire

one

small

petition

of thee;

I pray thee, say

not

nay.

And the king

said

unto her, Ask on,

my mother:

for

I will

not

say

thee

nay.

And she said,

Let

Abishag

the Shunammite

be given

to Adonijah

thy brother

to wife.

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

is mine

elder

brother;

even for him, and for Abiathar

the priest,

and for Joab

the son

of Zeruiah.

Then king

Solomon

by the Lord,

saying,

God

to me, and more also,

Adonijah

have not spoken

this

word

against his own life.

And king

Solomon

sent

by the hand

of Benaiah

the son

of Jehoiada;

and he fell

upon him that he died.

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.

And the king

said

unto him, Do

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.

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.

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.

And the king

put

Benaiah

the son

of Jehoiada

in his room

over

the host:

and Zadok

the priest

did the king

put

in the room

of Abiathar.

And the king

sent

and called

for Shimei,

and said

unto him, Build

thee an house

and dwell

there,

and go not forth

thence

any

whither.

For it shall be,

that on the day

thou goest out,

and passest over

the brook

Kidron,

thou shalt know

for certain

that

thou shalt surely

die:

thy blood

shall be

upon thine own head.

And Shimei

said

unto the king,

The saying

is good:

my lord

the king

hath said,

will thy servant

do.

And Shimei

dwelt

the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split Usage Yruwshalaim Phonetic yer-oo-shaw-lah'-im Part of Speech Jerusalem = 'teaching of peace'

the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split

many

days.

And it came to pass

at the end

of three

years,

that two

of the servants

of Shimei

ran away

unto

Achish

son

of Maachah

king

of Gath.

And they told

Shimei,

saying,

Behold,

thy servants

be in Gath.

And Shimei

arose,

and saddled

his ass,

and went

to Gath

Achish

to seek

his servants:

and Shimei

went,

and brought

his servants

from Gath.

And it was told

Solomon

that

Shimei

had gone

from

the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split

to Gath,

and was come again.

And the king

for Shimei,

him, Did I not
