1 Kings 2 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“Now you yourself ^H859 also ^H1571 know ^H3045 what ^H834 Joab ^H3097 the son ^H1121 of Zeruiah ^H6870 did ^H6213 to me, what ^H834 he did ^H6213 to the two ^H8147 commanders ^H8269 of the armies ^H6635 of Israel ^H3478, to Abner ^H74 the son ^H1121 of Ner ^H5369 and to Amasa ^H6021 the son ^H1121 of Jether ^H3500, whom he killed ^H2026; he also [fn]shed ^H7760 the blood ^H1818 of war ^H4421 in peace ^H7965. And he put ^H5414 the blood ^H1818 of war ^H4421 on his belt ^H2290 that was on his waist ^H4975, and on his sandals ^H5275 that were on his feet ^H7272.

Then David ^H1732 [fn]lay ^H7901 down ^H7901 with his fathers ^H1, and he was buried ^H6912 in the city ^H5892 of David ^H1732.

Now Adonijah ^H138 the son ^H1121 of Haggith ^H2294 came ^H935 to Bathsheba ^H1339 the mother ^H517 of Solomon ^H8010. So she said ^H559, “Do you come ^H935 peacefully ^H7965?” And he said ^H559, “Peacefully ^H7965.”

So Bathsheba ^H1339 went ^H935 to King ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010, to speak ^H1696 to him for Adonijah ^H138. And the king ^H4428 stood ^H6965 to meet ^H7122 her, bowed ^H2331 to her, and sat ^H3427 on his throne ^H3678; then he had a throne ^H3678 set ^H7760 up ^H7760 for the king’s ^H4428 mother ^H517, and she sat ^H3427 on his right ^H3225.

Then to Abiathar ^H54 the priest ^H3548 the king ^H4428 said ^H559, “Go ^H1980 to Anathoth ^H6068 to your own field ^H7704, for you [fn]deserve ^H376 to die ^H4194; but I will not put ^H4191 you to ^H4191 death ^H4191 at this ^H2088 [fn]time ^H3117, because ^H3588 you carried ^H5375 the ark ^H727 of the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 before ^H6440 my father ^H1 David ^H1732, and because ^H3588 you were afflicted ^H6031 in everything ^H3605 with which ^H834 my father ^H1 was afflicted ^H6031.”

Now the news ^H8052 came ^H935 to Joab ^H3097 because ^H3588 Joab ^H3097 had followed ^H5186 H310 Adonijah ^H138, though he had not followed ^H310 H5186 Absalom ^H53. So Joab ^H3097 fled ^H5127 to the tent ^H168 of the LORD ^H3068 and took ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of the horns ^H7161 of the altar ^H4196.

Now the king ^H4428 sent ^H7971 men and summoned ^H7121 Shimei ^H8096, and said ^H559 to him, “Build ^H1129 yourself a house ^H1004 in Jerusalem ^H3389 and live ^H3427 there ^H8033, and do not leave ^H3318 there ^H8033 for any ^H575 other place ^H575.

But it came ^H1961 about ^H1961 at the end ^H7093 of three ^H7969 years ^H8141, that two ^H8147 of Shimei’s ^H8096 servants ^H5650 ran ^H1272 away ^H1272 to Achish ^H397 son ^H1121 of Maacah ^H4601, king ^H4428 of Gath ^H1661. And others told ^H5046 Shimei ^H8096, saying ^H559, “Behold ^H2009, your servants ^H5650 are in Gath ^H1661.”

And the kingdom ^H4467 was established ^H3559 in the hands ^H3027 of Solomon ^H8010.
