Now the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 drew nighH7126 that he should dieH4191; and he chargedH6680 SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, sayingH559,
I goH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: be thou strongH2388 therefore, and shew thyself a manH376;
And keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to walkH3212 in his waysH1870, to keepH8104 his statutesH2708, and his commandmentsH4687, and his judgmentsH4941, and his testimoniesH5715, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that thou mayest prosperH7919 in all that thou doestH6213, and whithersoever thou turnestH6437 thyself: {prosper: or, do wisely}
That the LORDH3068 may continueH6965 his wordH1697 which he spakeH1696 concerning me, sayingH559, If thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH3212 beforeH6440 me in truthH571 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315, there shall not failH3772 thee (saidH559 he) a manH376 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. {fail…: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne}
Moreover thou knowestH3045 also what JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 didH6213 to me, and what he didH6213 to the twoH8147 captainsH8269 of the hostsH6635 of IsraelH3478, unto AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and unto AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, whom he slewH2026, and shedH7760 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 in peaceH7965, and putH5414 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 upon his girdleH2290 that was about his loinsH4975, and in his shoesH5275 that were on his feetH7272. {shed: Heb. put}
DoH6213 therefore according to thy wisdomH2451, and let not his hoar headH7872 go downH3381 to the graveH7585 in peaceH7965.
But shewH6213 kindnessH2617 unto the sonsH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569, and let them be of those that eatH398 at thy tableH7979: for so they cameH7126 to me when I fledH1272 becauseH6440 of AbsalomH53 thy brotherH251.
And, behold, thou hast with thee ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145 of BahurimH980, which cursedH7043 me with a grievousH4834 curseH7045 in the dayH3117 when I wentH3212 to MahanaimH4266: but he came downH3381 to meetH7125 me at JordanH3383, and I swareH7650 to him by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, I will not put thee to deathH4191 with the swordH2719. {grievous: Heb. strong}
Now therefore hold him not guiltlessH5352: for thou art a wiseH2450 manH376, and knowestH3045 what thou oughtest to doH6213 unto him; but his hoar headH7872 bring thou downH3381 to the graveH7585 with bloodH1818.
So DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
And the daysH3117 that DavidH1732 reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 were fortyH705 yearsH8141: sevenH7651 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in HebronH2275, and thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389.
Then satH3427 SolomonH8010 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1; and his kingdomH4438 was establishedH3559 greatlyH3966.
And AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 cameH935 to BathshebaH1339 the motherH517 of SolomonH8010. And she saidH559, ComestH935 thou peaceablyH7965? And he saidH559, PeaceablyH7965.
He saidH559 moreover, I have somewhat to sayH1697 unto thee. And she saidH559, Say onH1696.
And he saidH559, Thou knowestH3045 that the kingdomH4410 was mine, and that all IsraelH3478 setH7760 their facesH6440 on me, that I should reignH4427: howbeit the kingdomH4410 is turned aboutH5437, and is become my brother'sH251: for it was his from the LORDH3068.
And now I askH7592 oneH259 petitionH7596 of thee, denyH7725 meH6440 not. And she saidH559 unto him, Say onH1696. {deny…: Heb. turn not away my face}
And he saidH559, SpeakH559, I pray thee, unto SolomonH8010 the kingH4428, (for he will not sayH7725 theeH6440 nayH7725,) that he giveH5414 me AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 to wifeH802.
And BathshebaH1339 saidH559, WellH2896; I will speakH1696 for thee unto the kingH4428.
BathshebaH1339 therefore wentH935 unto kingH4428 SolomonH8010, to speakH1696 unto him for AdonijahH138. And the kingH4428 rose upH6965 to meetH7125 her, and bowedH7812 himself unto her, and sat downH3427 on his throneH3678, and caused a seatH3678 to be setH7760 for the king'sH4428 motherH517; and she satH3427 on his right handH3225.
Then she saidH559, I desireH7592 oneH259 smallH6996 petitionH7596 of thee; I pray thee, sayH7725 meH6440 not nayH7725. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, Ask onH7592, my motherH517: for I will not sayH7725 theeH6440 nayH7725.
And she saidH559, Let AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 be givenH5414 to AdonijahH138 thy brotherH251 to wifeH802.
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto his motherH517, And why dost thou askH7592 AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 for AdonijahH138? askH7592 for him the kingdomH4410 also; for he is mine elderH1419 brotherH251; even for him, and for AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and for JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870.
Then kingH4428 SolomonH8010 swareH7650 by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, GodH430 doH6213 so to me, and more alsoH3254, if AdonijahH138 have not spokenH1696 this wordH1697 against his own lifeH5315.
Now therefore, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, which hath establishedH3559 me, and setH3427 me on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and who hath madeH6213 me an houseH1004, as he promisedH1696, AdonijahH138 shall be put to deathH4191 this dayH3117.
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 by the handH3027 of BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; and he fellH6293 upon him that he diedH4191.
And unto AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 saidH559 the kingH4428, GetH3212 thee to AnathothH6068, unto thine own fieldsH7704; for thou art worthyH376 of deathH4194: but I will not at this timeH3117 put thee to deathH4191, because thou barestH5375 the arkH727 of the LordH136 GODH3069 beforeH6440 DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and because thou hast been afflictedH6031 in all wherein my fatherH1 was afflictedH6031. {worthy…: Heb. a man of death}
So SolomonH8010 thrust outH1644 AbiatharH54 from being priestH3548 unto the LORDH3068; that he might fulfilH4390 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 concerning the houseH1004 of EliH5941 in ShilohH7887.
Then tidingsH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097: for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 afterH310 AdonijahH138, though he turnedH5186 not afterH310 AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 was fledH5127 unto the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068; and, behold, he is byH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH3212, fallH6293 upon him.
And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Come forthH3318. And he saidH559, Nay; but I will dieH4191 here. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, sayingH559, Thus saidH1696 JoabH3097, and thus he answeredH6030 me.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH1696, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest take awayH5493 the innocentH2600 bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me, and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1.
And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045 thereof, 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.
Their bloodH1818 shall therefore returnH7725 upon the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and upon the headH7218 of his seedH2233 for everH5769: but upon DavidH1732, and upon his seedH2233, and upon his houseH1004, and upon his throneH3678, shall there be peaceH7965 forH5704 everH5769 from the LORDH3068.
So BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 went upH5927, and fellH6293 upon him, and slewH4191 him: and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.
And the kingH4428 putH5414 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 in his room over the hostH6635: and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 did the kingH4428 putH5414 in the room of AbiatharH54.
And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, BuildH1129 thee an houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, and dwellH3427 there, and go not forthH3318 thence any whitherH575.
For it shall be, that on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and passest overH5674 the brookH5158 KidronH6939, thou shalt knowH3045 for certainH3045 that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191: thy bloodH1818 shall be upon thine own headH7218.
And ShimeiH8096 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, The sayingH1697 is goodH2896: as my lordH113 the kingH4428 hath saidH1696, so will thy servantH5650 doH6213. And ShimeiH8096 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 manyH7227 daysH3117.
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of threeH7969 yearsH8141, that twoH8147 of the servantsH5650 of ShimeiH8096 ran awayH1272 unto AchishH397 sonH1121 of MaachahH4601 kingH4428 of GathH1661. And they toldH5046 ShimeiH8096, sayingH559, Behold, thy servantsH5650 be in GathH1661.
And ShimeiH8096 aroseH6965, and saddledH2280 his assH2543, and wentH3212 to GathH1661 to AchishH397 to seekH1245 his servantsH5650: and ShimeiH8096 wentH3212, and broughtH935 his servantsH5650 from GathH1661.
And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010 that ShimeiH8096 had goneH1980 from JerusalemH3389 to GathH1661, and was come againH7725.
And the kingH4428 sentH7971 and calledH7121 for ShimeiH8096, and saidH559 unto him, Did I not make thee to swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, and protestedH5749 unto thee, sayingH559, KnowH3045 for a certainH3045, on the dayH3117 thou goest outH3318, and walkestH1980 abroad any whitherH575, that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191? and thou saidstH559 unto me, The wordH1697 that I have heardH8085 is goodH2896.
Why then hast thou not keptH8104 the oathH7621 of the LORDH3068, and the commandmentH4687 that I have chargedH6680 thee with?
The kingH4428 saidH559 moreover to ShimeiH8096, Thou knowestH3045 all the wickednessH7451 which thine heartH3824 is privy toH3045, that thou didstH6213 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1: therefore the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 thy wickednessH7451 upon thine own headH7218;
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 shall be blessedH1288, and the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 forH5704 everH5769.
So the kingH4428 commandedH6680 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; which went outH3318, and fellH6293 upon him, that he diedH4191. And the kingdomH4467 was establishedH3559 in the handH3027 of SolomonH8010.

KeepH8104 therefore the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and doH6213 them, that ye may prosperH7919 in all that ye doH6213.
Now therefore hearkenH8085, O IsraelH3478, unto the statutesH2706 and unto the judgmentsH4941, which I teachH3925 you, for to doH6213 them, that ye may liveH2421, and go inH935 and possessH3423 the landH776 which the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 givethH5414 you.
These are the testimoniesH5713, and the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941, which MosesH4872 spakeH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, after they came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714,
And it shall be, when he sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881:
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416: that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to doH6213 them:
That his heartH3824 be not lifted upH7311 above his brethrenH251, and that he turn not asideH5493 from the commandmentH4687, to the right handH3225, or to the leftH8040: to the end that he may prolongH748 his daysH3117 in his kingdomH4467, he, and his childrenH1121, in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.
KeepH8104 therefore the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and doH6213 them, that ye may prosperH7919 in all that ye doH6213.
Only be thou strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageousH553, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 my servantH5650 commandedH6680 thee: turnH5493 not from it to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040, that thou mayest prosperH7919 whithersoever thou goestH3212. {prosper: or, do wisely}
Then DavidH1732 putH7760 garrisonsH5333 in SyriaH758 of DamascusH1834: and the SyriansH758 became servantsH5650 to DavidH1732, and broughtH5375 giftsH4503. And the LORDH3068 preservedH3467 DavidH1732 whithersoever he wentH1980.
Only be thou strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageousH553, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 my servantH5650 commandedH6680 thee: turnH5493 not from it to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040, that thou mayest prosperH7919 whithersoever thou goestH3212. {prosper: or, do wisely}
BeholdH7200, I have taughtH3925 you statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, even asH834 the LORDH3068 my GodH430 commandedH6680 me, that ye should doH6213 so inH7130 the landH776 whither ye goH935 to possessH3423 it.
The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
RememberH2142 ye the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 my servantH5650, which I commandedH6680 unto him in HorebH2722 for all IsraelH3478, with the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941.
This bookH5612 of the lawH8451 shall not departH4185 out of thy mouthH6310; but thou shalt meditateH1897 therein dayH3119 and nightH3915, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that is writtenH3789 therein: for then thou shalt makeH6743 thy wayH1870 prosperousH6743, and then thou shalt have good successH7919. {have…: or, do wisely}
And he putH7760 garrisonsH5333 in EdomH123; throughout all EdomH123 putH7760 he garrisonsH5333, and all they of EdomH123 became David'sH1732 servantsH5650. And the LORDH3068 preservedH3467 DavidH1732 whithersoever he wentH1980.
But take diligentH3966 heedH8104 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 and the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 you, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and to cleaveH1692 unto him, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
And what nationH1471 is there so greatH1419, that hath statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 so righteousH6662 as all this lawH8451, which I setH5414 beforeH6440 you this dayH3117?
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
And DavidH1732 went outH3318 whithersoever SaulH7586 sentH7971 him, and behaved himself wiselyH7919: and SaulH7586 setH7760 him over the menH582 of warH4421, and he was acceptedH3190 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971, and also in the sightH5869 of Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650. {behaved…: or, prospered}
And the LORDH3068 was with him; and he prosperedH7919 whithersoever he went forthH3318: and he rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and servedH5647 him not.
Only the LORDH3068 giveH5414 thee wisdomH7922 and understandingH998, and give thee chargeH6680 concerning IsraelH3478, that thou mayest keepH8104 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
And MosesH4872 calledH7121 all IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, HearH8085, O IsraelH3478, the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 which I speakH1696 in your earsH241 this dayH3117, that ye may learnH3925 them, and keepH8104, and doH6213 them. {keep…: Heb. keep to do them}
Thy testimoniesH5715 have I taken as an heritageH5157 for everH5769: for they are the rejoicingH8342 of my heartH3820.
And DavidH1732 behaved himself wiselyH7919 in all his waysH1870; and the LORDH3068 was with him. {behaved…: or, prospered}
Then shalt thou prosperH6743, if thou takest heedH8104 to fulfilH6213 the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 which the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 MosesH4872 with concerning IsraelH3478: be strongH2388, and of good courageH553; dreadH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865.
Now these are the commandmentsH4687, the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 commandedH6680 to teachH3925 you, that ye might doH6213 them in the landH776 whither ye goH5674 to possessH3423 it: {go: Heb. pass over}
Thy testimoniesH5713 that thou hast commandedH6680 are righteousH6664 and veryH3966 faithfulH530. {righteous: Heb. righteousness} {faithful: Heb. faithfulness}
Then the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 went forthH3318: and it came to pass, afterH1767 they went forthH3318, that DavidH1732 behaved himself more wiselyH7919 than all the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586; so that his nameH8034 was muchH3966 set byH3365. {set by: Heb. precious}
Now therefore in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478 the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068, and in the audienceH241 of our GodH430, keepH8104 and seekH1875 for all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430: that ye may possessH3423 this goodH2896 landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH5157 for your childrenH1121 afterH310 you forH5704 everH5769.
That thou mightest fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 all his statutesH2708 and his commandmentsH4687, which I commandH6680 thee, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son'sH1121 sonH1121, all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416; and that thy daysH3117 may be prolongedH748.
And thus didH6213 HezekiahH3169 throughout all JudahH3063, and wroughtH6213 that which was goodH2896 and rightH3477 and truthH571 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH5315: for the LORDH3068 searchethH1875 all heartsH3824, and understandethH995 all the imaginationsH3336 of the thoughtsH4284: if thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but if thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee offH2186 for everH5703.
And in every workH4639 that he beganH2490 in the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the lawH8451, and in the commandmentsH4687, to seekH1875 his GodH430, he didH6213 it with all his heartH3824, and prosperedH6743.
And giveH5414 unto SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 a perfectH8003 heartH3824, to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687, thy testimoniesH5715, and thy statutesH2706, and to doH6213 all these things, and to buildH1129 the palaceH1002, for the which I have made provisionH3559.
But his delightH2656 is in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068; and in his lawH8451 doth he meditateH1897 dayH3119 and nightH3915.
And he shall be like a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the riversH6388 of waterH4325, that bringeth forthH5414 his fruitH6529 in his seasonH6256; his leafH5929 also shall not witherH5034; and whatsoever he doethH6213 shall prosperH6743. {wither: Heb. fade}
Thou through thy commandmentsH4687 hast made me wiserH2449 than mine enemiesH341: for they are everH5769 with me. {they…: Heb. it is ever with me}
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
My sonH1121, forgetH7911 not my lawH8451; but let thine heartH3820 keepH5341 my commandmentsH4687:
For lengthH753 of daysH3117, and longH8141 lifeH2416, and peaceH7965, shall they addH3254 to thee. {long…: Heb. years of life}
Let not mercyH2617 and truthH571 forsakeH5800 thee: bindH7194 them about thy neckH1621; writeH3789 them upon the tableH3871 of thine heartH3820:
So shalt thou findH4672 favourH2580 and goodH2896 understandingH7922 in the sightH5869 of GodH430 and manH120. {good…: or, good success}
