Versliste
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 SaulH7586 had a concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was RizpahH7532, the daughterH1323 of AiahH345: and Ishbosheth saidH559 to AbnerH74, Wherefore hast thou gone inH935 unto my father'sH1 concubineH6370?
And AhithophelH302 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Go inH935 unto thy father'sH1 concubinesH6370, which he hath leftH3240 to keepH8104 the houseH1004; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085 that thou art abhorredH887 of thy fatherH1: then shall the handsH3027 of all that are with thee be strongH2388.
And afterH310 this it came to pass, that DavidH1732 smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430, and subduedH3665 them: and DavidH1732 tookH3947 MethegammahH4965 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. {Methegammah: or, the bridle of Ammah}
And he smoteH5221 MoabH4124, and measuredH4058 them with a lineH2256, casting them downH7901 to the groundH776; even with twoH8147 linesH2256 measuredH4058 he to put to deathH4191, and with one fullH4393 lineH2256 to keep aliveH2421. And so the MoabitesH4124 became David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and broughtH5375 giftsH4503.
DavidH1732 smoteH5221 also HadadezerH1909, the sonH1121 of RehobH7340, kingH4428 of ZobahH6678, as he wentH3212 to recoverH7725 his borderH3027 at the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578. {Hadadezer: or, Hadarezer}
And DavidH1732 tookH3920 from him a thousandH505 chariots, and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 horsemenH6571, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 footmenH376+H7273: and DavidH1732 houghedH6131 all the chariotH7393 horses, but reservedH3498 of them for an hundredH3967 chariotsH7393. {from…: or, of his. chariots…: as 1.Chr.18.4}
And when the SyriansH758 of DamascusH1834 cameH935 to succourH5826 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678, DavidH1732 slewH5221 of the SyriansH758 twoH8147 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376.
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.
And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the shieldsH7982 of goldH2091 that were on the servantsH5650 of HadadezerH1909, and broughtH935 them to JerusalemH3389.
And from BetahH984, and from BerothaiH1268, citiesH5892 of HadadezerH1909, kingH4428 DavidH1732 tookH3947 exceedingH3966 muchH7235 brassH5178.
When ToiH8583 kingH4428 of HamathH2574 heardH8085 that DavidH1732 had smittenH5221 all the hostH2428 of HadadezerH1909,
Then ToiH8583 sentH7971 JoramH3141 his sonH1121 unto kingH4428 DavidH1732, to saluteH7592+H7965 him, and to blessH1288 him, because he had foughtH3898 against HadadezerH1909, and smittenH5221 him: for HadadezerH1909 had warsH376+H4421 with ToiH8583. And Joram brought with himH3027 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178: {salute…: Heb. ask him of peace} {had wars…: Heb. was a man of wars with} {brought…: Heb. in his hand were}
Which also kingH4428 DavidH1732 did dedicateH6942 unto the LORDH3068, with the silverH3701 and goldH2091 that he had dedicatedH6942 of all nationsH1471 which he subduedH3533;
Of SyriaH758, and of MoabH4124, and of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and of the PhilistinesH6430, and of AmalekH6002, and of the spoilH7998 of HadadezerH1909, sonH1121 of RehobH7340, kingH4428 of ZobahH6678.
And DavidH1732 gatH6213 him a nameH8034 when he returnedH7725 from smitingH5221 of the SyriansH758 in the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, being eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 men. {smiting: Heb. his smiting}
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.
And DavidH1732 reignedH4427 over all IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 executedH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 unto all his peopleH5971.
And JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 was over the hostH6635; and JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286 was recorderH2142; {recorder: or, remembrancer, or, writer of chronicles}
And ZadokH6659 the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54, were the priestsH3548; and SeraiahH8304 was the scribeH5608; {scribe: or, secretary}
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 was over both the CherethitesH3774 and the PelethitesH6432; and David'sH1732 sonsH1121 were chief rulersH3548. {chief rulers: or, princes}
And there happenedH7122 to be there a manH376 of BelialH1100, whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH1145: and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and saidH559, We have no partH2506 in DavidH1732, neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: everyH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478.
So every manH376 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 from afterH310 DavidH1732, and followedH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075: but the menH376 of JudahH3063 claveH1692 unto their kingH4428, from JordanH3383 even to JerusalemH3389.
And DavidH1732 cameH935 to his houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389; and the kingH4428 tookH3947 the tenH6235 womenH802 his concubinesH6370, whom he had leftH3240 to keepH8104 the houseH1004, and putH5414 them in wardH4931, and fedH3557 them, but went not inH935 unto them. So they were shut upH6887 unto the dayH3117 of their deathH4191, livingH2424 in widowhoodH491. {ward: Heb. an house of ward} {shut…: Heb. bound} {living…: Heb. in widowhood of life}
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to AmasaH6021, AssembleH2199 me the menH376 of JudahH3063 within threeH7969 daysH3117, and be thou here presentH5975. {Assemble: Heb. Call}
So AmasaH6021 wentH3212 to assembleH2199 the men of JudahH3063: but he tarried longerH309+H3186 than the set timeH4150 which he had appointedH3259 him. {Assemble: Heb. Call}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, Now shall ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 do us more harmH3415 than did AbsalomH53: takeH3947 thou thy lord'sH113 servantsH5650, and pursueH7291 afterH310 him, lest he getH4672 him fencedH1219 citiesH5892, and escapeH5337 usH5869. {escape…: Heb. deliver himself from our eyes}
And there went outH3318 afterH310 him Joab'sH3097 menH582, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, and all the mighty menH1368: and they went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, to pursueH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.
When they were at the greatH1419 stoneH68 which is in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 wentH935 beforeH6440 them. And Joab'sH3097 garmentH4055 that he had put onH3830 was girdedH2296 unto him, and upon it a girdleH2289 with a swordH2719 fastenedH6775 upon his loinsH4975 in the sheathH8593 thereof; and as he went forthH3318 it fell outH5307.
And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Art thou in healthH7965, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with the rightH3225 handH3027 to kissH5401 him.
But AmasaH6021 took no heedH8104 to the swordH2719 that was in Joab'sH3097 handH3027: so he smoteH5221 him therewith in the fifthH2570 rib, and shed outH8210 his bowelsH4578 to the groundH776, and struck him not againH8138; and he diedH4191. So JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075. {struck…: Heb. doubled not his stroke}
And oneH376 of Joab'sH3097 menH5288 stoodH5975 by him, and saidH559, HeH4310 that favourethH2654 JoabH3097, and he that is for DavidH1732, let him go afterH310 JoabH3097.
And AmasaH6021 wallowedH1556 in bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of the highwayH4546. And when the manH376 sawH7200 that all the peopleH5971 stood stillH5975, he removedH5437 AmasaH6021 out of the highwayH4546 into the fieldH7704, and castH7993 a clothH899 upon him, when he sawH7200 that every one that cameH935 by him stood stillH5975.
When he was removedH3014 out of the highwayH4546, all the peopleH376 went onH5674 afterH310 JoabH3097, to pursueH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.
And he wentH5674 through all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 unto AbelH59, and to BethmaachahH1038, and all the BeritesH1276: and they were gathered togetherH6950+H7035, and wentH935 also afterH310 him.
And they cameH935 and besiegedH6696 him in AbelH59 of BethmaachahH1038, and they cast upH8210 a bankH5550 against the cityH5892, and it stoodH5975 in the trenchH2426: and all the peopleH5971 that were with JoabH3097 batteredH7843 the wallH2346, to throw it downH5307. {in the trench: or, against the outmost wall} {battered: Heb. marred to throw down}
Then criedH7121 a wiseH2450 womanH802 out of the cityH5892, HearH8085, hearH8085; sayH559, I pray you, unto JoabH3097, Come nearH7126 hither, that I may speakH1696 with thee.
And when he was come nearH7126 unto her, the womanH802 saidH559, Art thou JoabH3097? And he answeredH559, I am he. Then she saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 the wordsH1697 of thine handmaidH519. And he answeredH559, I do hearH8085.
Then she spakeH559, sayingH559, They were wontH1696 to speakH1696 in old timeH7223, sayingH559, They shall surelyH7592 askH7592 counsel at AbelH59: and so they endedH8552 the matter. {They were…: or, They plainly spake in the beginning, saying, Surely they will ask of Abel, and so make an end}
I am one of them that are peaceableH7999 and faithfulH539 in IsraelH3478: thou seekestH1245 to destroyH4191 a cityH5892 and a motherH517 in IsraelH3478: why wilt thou swallow upH1104 the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068?
And JoabH3097 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Far be itH2486, far be itH2486 from me, that I should swallow upH1104 or destroyH7843.
The matterH1697 is not so: but a manH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669, ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 by nameH8034, hath lifted upH5375 his handH3027 against the kingH4428, even against DavidH1732: deliverH5414 him only, and I will departH3212 from the cityH5892. And the womanH802 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, Behold, his headH7218 shall be thrownH7993 to thee overH1157 the wallH2346. {by name: Heb. by his name}
Then the womanH802 wentH935 unto all the peopleH5971 in her wisdomH2451. And they cut offH3772 the headH7218 of ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, and castH7993 it out to JoabH3097. And he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and they retiredH6327 from the cityH5892, every manH376 to his tentH168. And JoabH3097 returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389 unto the kingH4428. {retired: Heb. were scattered}
Now JoabH3097 was over all the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478: and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 was over the CherethitesH3774+H3746 and over the PelethitesH6432:
And AdoramH151 was over the tributeH4522: and JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286 was recorderH2142: {recorder: or, remembrancer}
And ShevaH7864+H7724 was scribeH5608: and ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 were the priestsH3548:
And IraH5896 also the JairiteH2972 was a chief rulerH3548 about DavidH1732. {a chief…: or, a prince}
Now these be the lastH314 wordsH1697 of DavidH1732. DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 saidH5002, and the manH1397 who was raised upH6965 on highH5920, the anointedH4899 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290, and the sweetH5273 psalmistH2158 of IsraelH3478, saidH5002,
The SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 by me, and his wordH4405 was in my tongueH3956.
The GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, the RockH6697 of IsraelH3478 spakeH1696 to me, He that rulethH4910 over menH120 must be justH6662, rulingH4910 in the fearH3374 of GodH430. {He…: or, Be thou ruler, etc}
And he shall be as the lightH216 of the morningH1242, when the sunH8121 risethH2224, even a morningH1242 withoutH3808 cloudsH5645; as the tender grassH1877 springing out of the earthH776 by clear shiningH5051 after rainH4306.
Although my houseH1004 be not so with GodH410; yet he hath madeH7760 with me an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, orderedH6186 in all things, and sureH8104: for this is all my salvationH3468, and all my desireH2656, although he make it not to growH6779.
But the sons of BelialH1100 shall be all of them as thornsH6975 thrust awayH5074, because they cannot be takenH3947 with handsH3027:
But the manH376 that shall touchH5060 them must be fencedH4390 with ironH1270 and the staffH6086 of a spearH2595; and they shall be utterlyH8313 burnedH8313 with fireH784 in the same placeH7675. {fenced: Heb. filled}
These be the namesH8034 of the mighty menH1368 whom DavidH1732 had: The TachmoniteH8461 that satH3427 in the seatH7675+H3429, chiefH7218 among the captainsH7991; the same was AdinoH5722 the EzniteH6112: he lift up his spear against eightH8083 hundredH3967, whom he slewH2491 at oneH259 timeH6471. {The Tachmonite…: or, Joshebbassebet the Tachmonite, head of the three. whom he…: Heb. slain. he lift…: See 1.Ch.11.11. whom he…: Heb. slain}
And afterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 the AhohiteH266, one of the threeH7969 mighty menH1368 with DavidH1732, when they defiedH2778 the PhilistinesH6430 that were there gathered togetherH622 to battleH4421, and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gone awayH5927:
He aroseH6965, and smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 untilH3588 his handH3027 was wearyH3021, and his handH3027 claveH1692 unto the swordH2719: and the LORDH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668 that dayH3117; and the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 afterH310 him only to spoilH6584.
And afterH310 him was ShammahH8048 the sonH1121 of AgeeH89 the HarariteH2043. And the PhilistinesH6430 were gathered togetherH622 into a troopH2416, where was a pieceH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4392 of lentilesH5742: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 fromH6440 the PhilistinesH6430. {into…: or, for foraging}
But he stoodH3320 in the midstH8432 of the groundH2513, and defendedH5337 it, and slewH5221 the PhilistinesH6430: and the LORDH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668.
And threeH7969+H7970 of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 went downH3381, and cameH935 to DavidH1732 in the harvest timeH7105 unto the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725: and the troopH2416 of the PhilistinesH6430 pitchedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. {three…: or, the three captains over the thirty}
And DavidH1732 was then in an holdH4686, and the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 was then in BethlehemH1035.
And DavidH1732 longedH183, and saidH559, Oh that one would give me drinkH8248 of the waterH4325 of the wellH953 of BethlehemH1035, which is by the gateH8179!
And the threeH7969 mighty menH1368 brake throughH1234 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellH953 of BethlehemH1035, that was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732: nevertheless he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 thereof, but poured it outH5258 unto the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559, Be it farH2486 from me, O LORDH3068, that I should doH6213 this: is not this the bloodH1818 of the menH582 that wentH1980 in jeopardy of their livesH5315? therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. These things didH6213 these threeH7969 mighty menH1368.
And AbishaiH52, the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, was chiefH7218 among threeH7992. And he lifted upH5782 his spearH2595 against threeH7969 hundredH3967, and slewH2491 them, and had the nameH8034 among threeH7969. {and slew them: Heb. slain}
Was he not most honourableH3513 of threeH7969? therefore he was their captainH8269: howbeit he attainedH935 not unto the first threeH7969.
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiantH2428 manH376+H381, of KabzeelH6909, who had done manyH7227 actsH6467, he slewH5221 twoH8147 lionlike menH739 of MoabH4124: he went downH3381 also and slewH5221 a lionH738 in the midstH8432 of a pitH953 in timeH3117 of snowH7950: {who…: Heb. great of acts} {lionlike…: Heb. lion of God}
And he slewH2026 an EgyptianH4713, a goodlyH4758 manH376: and the EgyptianH4713 had a spearH2595 in his handH3027; but he went downH3381 to him with a staffH7626, and pluckedH1497 the spearH2595 out of the Egyptian'sH4713 handH3027, and slewH5221 him with his own spearH2595. {a goodly…: Heb. a man of countenance, or, sight: called I.Chr.I.23. a man of great stature}
These things didH6213 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and had the nameH8034 among threeH7969 mighty menH1368.
He was more honourableH3513 than the thirtyH7970, but he attainedH935 not to the first threeH7969. And DavidH1732 setH7760 him over his guardH4928. {more…: or, honourable among the thirty} {guard: or, council: Heb. at his command}
AsahelH6214 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097 was one of the thirtyH7970; ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 of BethlehemH1035,
ShammahH8048 the HaroditeH2733, ElikaH470 the HaroditeH2733,
HelezH2503 the PaltiteH6407, IraH5896 the sonH1121 of IkkeshH6142 the TekoiteH8621,
AbiezerH44 the AnethothiteH6069, MebunnaiH4012 the HushathiteH2843,
ZalmonH6756 the AhohiteH266, MaharaiH4121 the NetophathiteH5200,
HelebH2460 the sonH1121 of BaanahH1196, a NetophathiteH5200, IttaiH863 the sonH1121 of RibaiH7380 out of GibeahH1390 of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144,
BenaiahH1141 the PirathoniteH6553, HiddaiH1914 of the brooksH5158 of GaashH1608, {brooks: or, valleys}
AbialbonH45 the ArbathiteH6164, AzmavethH5820 the BarhumiteH1273,
EliahbaH455 the ShaalboniteH8170, of the sonsH1121 of JashenH3464, JonathanH3083,
ShammahH8048 the HarariteH2043, AhiamH279 the sonH1121 of ShararH8325 the HarariteH2043,
ElipheletH467 the sonH1121 of AhasbaiH308, the sonH1121 of the MaachathiteH4602, EliamH463 the sonH1121 of AhithophelH302 the GiloniteH1526,
HezraiH2695 the CarmeliteH3761, PaaraiH6474 the ArbiteH701,
IgalH3008 the sonH1121 of NathanH5416 of ZobahH6678, BaniH1137 the GaditeH1425,
ZelekH6768 the AmmoniteH5984, NaharaiH5171 the BeerothiteH886, armourbearerH5375+H3627 to JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870,
IraH5896 an IthriteH3505, GarebH1619 an IthriteH3505,
UriahH223 the HittiteH2850: thirtyH7970 and sevenH7651 in all.
Now kingH4428 DavidH1732 was oldH2204 and strickenH935 in yearsH3117; and they coveredH3680 him with clothesH899, but he gat no heatH3179. {stricken…: Heb. entered into days}
Wherefore his servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, Let there be soughtH1245 for my lordH113 the kingH4428 a youngH5291 virginH1330: and let her standH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and let her cherishH5532 him, and let her lieH7901 in thy bosomH2436, that my lordH113 the kingH4428 may get heatH2552. {Let there…: Heb. Let them seek} {a young…: Heb. a damsel, a virgin} {cherish…: Heb. be a cherisher unto him}
So they soughtH1245 for a fairH3303 damselH5291 throughout all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478, and foundH4672 AbishagH49 a ShunammiteH7767, and broughtH935 her to the kingH4428.
And the damselH5291 was veryH3966 fairH3303, and cherishedH5532 the kingH4428, and ministeredH8334 to him: but the kingH4428 knewH3045 her not.
Then AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 exaltedH4984 himself, sayingH559, I will be kingH4427: and he preparedH6213 him chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him. {be king: Heb. reign}
And his fatherH1 had not displeasedH6087 him at any timeH3117 in sayingH559, Why hast thou done soH6213? and he also was a veryH3966 goodlyH2896+H8389 man; and his mother bareH3205 him afterH310 AbsalomH53. {at any…: Heb. from his days}
And he conferredH1697 with JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and with AbiatharH54 the priestH3548: and they followingH310 AdonijahH138 helpedH5826 him. {he…: Heb. his words were with} {following…: Heb. helped after Adonijah}
But ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and ShimeiH8096, and ReiH7472, and the mighty menH1368 which belonged to DavidH1732, were not with AdonijahH138.
And AdonijahH138 slewH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and fat cattleH4806 by the stoneH68 of ZohelethH2120, which is byH681 EnrogelH5883, and calledH7121 all his brethrenH251 the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and all the menH582 of JudahH3063 the king'sH4428 servantsH5650: {Enrogel: or, the well Rogel}
But NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141, and the mighty menH1368, and SolomonH8010 his brotherH251, he calledH7121 not.
Wherefore NathanH5416 spakeH559 unto BathshebaH1339 the motherH517 of SolomonH8010, sayingH559, Hast thou not heardH8085 that AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 doth reignH4427, and DavidH1732 our lordH113 knowethH3045 it not?
Now therefore comeH3212, let me, I pray thee, give thee counselH3289+H6098, that thou mayest saveH4422 thine own lifeH5315, and the lifeH5315 of thy sonH1121 SolomonH8010.
GoH3212 and get thee inH935 unto kingH4428 DavidH1732, and sayH559 unto him, Didst not thou, my lordH113, O kingH4428, swearH7650 unto thine handmaidH519, sayingH559, AssuredlyH3588 SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678? why then doth AdonijahH138 reignH4427?
Behold, while thou yet talkestH1696 there with the kingH4428, I also will come inH935 afterH310 thee, and confirmH4390 thy wordsH1697. {confirm: Heb. fill up}
And BathshebaH1339 went inH935 unto the kingH4428 into the chamberH2315: and the kingH4428 was veryH3966 oldH2204; and AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 ministeredH8334 unto the kingH4428.
And BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915, and did obeisanceH7812 unto the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, What wouldest thou? {What…: Heb. What to thee?}
And she saidH559 unto him, My lordH113, thou swarestH7650 by the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 unto thine handmaidH519, saying, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678.
And now, behold, AdonijahH138 reignethH4427; and now, my lordH113 the kingH4428, thou knowestH3045 it not:
And he hath slainH2076 oxenH7794 and fat cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 all the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635: but SolomonH8010 thy servantH5650 hath he not calledH7121.
And thou, my lordH113, O kingH4428, the eyesH5869 of all IsraelH3478 are upon thee, that thou shouldest tellH5046 them who shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him.
Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall sleepH7901 with his fathersH1, that I and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 shall be counted offendersH2400. {offenders: Heb. sinners}
And, lo, while she yet talkedH1696 with the kingH4428, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 also came inH935.
And they toldH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, Behold NathanH5416 the prophetH5030. And when he was come inH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, he bowedH7812 himself before the kingH4428 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.
And NathanH5416 saidH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, hast thou saidH559, AdonijahH138 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678?
For he is gone downH3381 this dayH3117, and hath slainH2076 oxenH7794 and fat cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and the captainsH8269 of the hostH6635, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548; and, behold, they eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 him, and sayH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 AdonijahH138. {God…: Heb. Let king Adonijah live}
But me, even me thy servantH5650, and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and thy servantH5650 SolomonH8010, hath he not calledH7121.
Is this thingH1697 doneH1961 by my lordH113 the kingH4428, and thou hast not shewedH3045 it unto thy servantH5650, who should sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him?
Then kingH4428 DavidH1732 answeredH6030 and saidH559, CallH7121 me BathshebaH1339. And she cameH935 into the king'sH4428 presenceH6440, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428. {into…: Heb. before the king}
And the kingH4428 swareH7650, and saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, that hath redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 out of all distressH6869,
Even as I swareH7650 unto thee by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678 in my stead; even so will I certainly doH6213 this dayH3117.
Then BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915 with her faceH639 to the earthH776, and did reverenceH7812 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 liveH2421 for everH5769.
And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559, CallH7121 me ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077. And they cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
The kingH4428 also saidH559 unto them, TakeH3947 with you the servantsH5650 of your lordH113, and cause SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to rideH7392 upon mine own muleH6506, and bring him downH3381 to GihonH1521: {mine…: Heb. which belongeth to me}
And let ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 anointH4886 him there kingH4428 over IsraelH3478: and blowH8628 ye with the trumpetH7782, and sayH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
Then ye shall come upH5927 afterH310 him, that he may comeH935 and sitH3427 upon my throneH3678; for he shall be kingH4427 in my stead: and I have appointedH6680 him to be rulerH5057 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063.
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 answeredH6030 the kingH4428, and saidH559, AmenH543: the LORDH3068 GodH430 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 sayH559 so too.
As the LORDH3068 hath been with my lordH113 the kingH4428, even so be he with SolomonH8010, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than the throneH3678 of my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732.
So ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, went downH3381, and caused SolomonH8010 to rideH7392 upon kingH4428 David'sH1732 muleH6506, and broughtH3212 him to GihonH1521.
And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 tookH3947 an hornH7161 of oilH8081 out of the tabernacleH168, and anointedH4886 SolomonH8010. And they blewH8628 the trumpetH7782; and all the peopleH5971 saidH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
And all the peopleH5971 came upH5927 afterH310 him, and the peopleH5971 pipedH2490 with pipesH2485, and rejoicedH8056 with greatH1419 joyH8057, so that the earthH776 rentH1234 with the soundH6963 of them. {pipes: or, flutes}
And AdonijahH138 and all the guestsH7121 that were with him heardH8085 it as they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398. And when JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, Wherefore is this noiseH6963 of the cityH7151 being in an uproarH1993?
And while he yet spakeH1696, behold, JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935: and AdonijahH138 saidH559 unto him, Come inH935; for thou art a valiantH2428 manH376+H381, and bringestH1319 goodH2896 tidingsH1319.
And JonathanH3129 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to AdonijahH138, VerilyH61 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 hath made SolomonH8010 kingH4427.
And the kingH4428 hath sentH7971 with him ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, and they have caused him to rideH7392 upon the king'sH4428 muleH6506:
And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521: and they are come upH5927 from thence rejoicingH8056, so that the cityH7151 rang againH1949. This is the noiseH6963 that ye have heardH8085.
And also SolomonH8010 sittethH3427 on the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4410.
And moreover the king'sH4428 servantsH5650 cameH935 to blessH1288 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, GodH430 make the nameH8034 of SolomonH8010 betterH3190 than thy nameH8034, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than thy throneH3678. And the kingH4428 bowedH7812 himself upon the bedH4904.
And also thus saidH559 the kingH4428, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which hath givenH5414 one to sitH3427 on my throneH3678 this dayH3117, mine eyesH5869 even seeingH7200 it.
And all the guestsH7121 that were with AdonijahH138 were afraidH2729, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 every manH376 his wayH1870.
And AdonijahH138 fearedH3372 becauseH6440 of SolomonH8010, and aroseH6965, and wentH3212, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010, sayingH559, Behold, AdonijahH138 fearethH3372 kingH4428 SolomonH8010: for, lo, he hath caught holdH270 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196, sayingH559, Let kingH4428 SolomonH8010 swearH7650 unto me to dayH3117 that he will not slayH4191 his servantH5650 with the swordH2719.
And SolomonH8010 saidH559, If he will shew himself a worthyH2428 manH1121, there shall not an hairH8185 of him fallH5307 to the earthH776: but if wickednessH7451 shall be foundH4672 in him, he shall dieH4191.
So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971, and they brought him downH3381 from the altarH4196. And he cameH935 and bowedH7812 himself to kingH4428 SolomonH8010: and SolomonH8010 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212 to thine houseH1004.
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.
So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 was kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478.
And these were the princesH8269 which he had; AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, {priest: or, chief officer}
ElihorephH456 and AhiahH281, the sonsH1121 of ShishaH7894, scribesH5608; JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286, the recorderH2142. {scribes: or, secretaries} {recorder: or, remembrancer}
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 was over the hostH6635: and ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 were the priestsH3548:
And AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of NathanH5416 was over the officersH5324: and ZabudH2071 the sonH1121 of NathanH5416 was principal officerH3548, and the king'sH4428 friendH7463:
And AhisharH301 was over the householdH1004: and AdoniramH141 the sonH1121 of AbdaH5653 was over the tributeH4522. {tribute: or, levy}
And SolomonH8010 had twelveH8147+H6240 officersH5324 over all IsraelH3478, which provided victualsH3557 for the kingH4428 and his householdH1004: each manH259 his monthH2320 in a yearH8141 made provisionH3557.
And these are their namesH8034: The son of HurH1133, in mountH2022 EphraimH669: {The son…: or, Benhur}
The son of DekarH1128+H1857, in MakazH4739, and in ShaalbimH8169, and BethshemeshH1053, and ElonbethhananH358: {The son…: or, BenDekar}
The son of HesedH1136+H2618, in ArubothH700; to him pertained SochohH7755, and all the landH776 of HepherH2660: {The son…: or, BenHeseb}
The son of AbinadabH1125, in all the regionH5299 of DorH1756; which had TaphathH2955 the daughterH1323 of SolomonH8010 to wifeH802: {The son…: or, BenaBinadab}
BaanaH1195 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286; to him pertained TaanachH8590 and MegiddoH4023, and all BethsheanH1052, which is byH681 ZartanahH6891 beneath JezreelH3157, from BethsheanH1052 to AbelmeholahH65, even unto the place that is beyondH5676 JokneamH3361:
The son of GeberH1127, in RamothgileadH1568+H7433; to him pertained the townsH2333 of JairH2971 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, which are in GileadH1568; to him also pertained the regionH2256 of ArgobH709, which is in BashanH1316, threescoreH8346 greatH1419 citiesH5892 with wallsH2346 and brasenH5178 barsH1280: {The son…: or, BenGeber}
AhinadabH292 the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 had MahanaimH4266: {Mahanaim: or, to Mahanaim}
AhimaazH290 was in NaphtaliH5321; he also tookH3947 BasmathH1315 the daughterH1323 of SolomonH8010 to wifeH802:
BaanahH1195 the sonH1121 of HushaiH2365 was in AsherH836 and in AlothH1175:
JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of ParuahH6515, in IssacharH3485:
ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of ElahH414, in BenjaminH1144:
GeberH1398 the sonH1121 of UriH221 was in the countryH776 of GileadH1568, in the countryH776 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316; and he was the onlyH259 officerH5333 which was in the landH776.
JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 were manyH7227, as the sandH2344 which is by the seaH3220 in multitudeH7230, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and making merryH8056.
And SolomonH8010 reignedH4910 over all kingdomsH4467 from the riverH5104 unto the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and unto the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714: they broughtH5066 presentsH4503, and servedH5647 SolomonH8010 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And Solomon'sH8010 provisionH3899 for oneH259 dayH3117 was thirtyH7970 measuresH3734 of fine flourH5560, and threescoreH8346 measuresH3734 of mealH7058, {provision: Heb. bread} {measures: Heb. cors}
TenH6235 fatH1277 oxenH1241, and twentyH6242 oxenH1241 out of the pasturesH7471, and an hundredH3967 sheepH6629, beside hartsH354, and roebucksH6643, and fallowdeerH3180, and fattedH75 fowlH1257.
For he had dominionH7287 over all the region on this sideH5676 the riverH5104, from TiphsahH8607 even to AzzahH5804, over all the kingsH4428 on this sideH5676 the riverH5104: and he had peaceH7965 on all sidesH5650+H5676 round aboutH5439 him.
And JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 safelyH983, every manH376 under his vineH1612 and under his fig treeH8384, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, all the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. {safely: Heb. confidently}
And SolomonH8010 had fortyH705 thousandH505 stallsH723 of horsesH5483 for his chariotsH4817, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571.
And those officersH5324 provided victualH3557 for kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and for all that cameH7131 unto kingH4428 Solomon'sH8010 tableH7979, every manH376 in his monthH2320: they lackedH5737 nothingH1697.
BarleyH8184 also and strawH8401 for the horsesH5483 and dromedariesH7409 broughtH935 they unto the placeH4725 where the officers were, every manH376 according to his chargeH4941. {dromedaries: or, mules, or, swift beasts}
And GodH430 gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 wisdomH2451 and understandingH8394 exceedingH3966 muchH7235, and largenessH7341 of heartH3820, even as the sandH2344 that is on the seaH3220 shoreH8193.
And Solomon'sH8010 wisdomH2451 excelledH7235 the wisdomH2451 of all the childrenH1121 of the east countryH6924, and all the wisdomH2451 of EgyptH4714.
For he was wiserH2449 than all menH120; than EthanH387 the EzrahiteH250, and HemanH1968, and ChalcolH3633, and DardaH1862, the sonsH1121 of MaholH4235: and his fameH8034 was in all nationsH1471 round aboutH5439.
And he spakeH1696 threeH7969 thousandH505 proverbsH4912: and his songsH7892 were a thousandH505 and fiveH2568.
And he spakeH1696 of treesH6086, from the cedar treeH730 that is in LebanonH3844 even unto the hyssopH231 that springeth outH3318 of the wallH7023: he spakeH1696 also of beastsH929, and of fowlH5775, and of creeping thingsH7431, and of fishesH1709.
And there cameH935 of all peopleH5971 to hearH8085 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, from all kingsH4428 of the earthH776, which had heardH8085 of his wisdomH2451.
