Aviathar the kohen also, and for Yoav the son of
Tzeruyah.
23 Then melech Shlomo swore by vuvh, saying, Elohim
do so to me, and more also, if Adoniyah has not spoken
this request against his own chayim.
24 Now therefore, as vuvh lives, who has established me,
and set me on the kesay of Dawid my abba, and who has
made me a bayit, as He promised, Adoniyah shall be put
to death this day.
25 And melech Shlomo sent Benayahu the son of
Yahoyada; and he killed him so that he died.
26 And to Aviathar the kohen said the melech, Go to
Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death:
but I will not at this time put you to death, because you
bore the Ark of the Master vuvh before Dawid my abba,
and because you have been afflicted in all that my abba
was afflicted.
27 So Shlomo expelled Aviathar from being kohen to
vuvh; that he might fulfill the word of vuvh, which He
spoke concerning the bayit of Eli in Shiloh.
28 Then news came to Yoav: for Yoav had followed after
Adoniyah, though he did not follow after Avshalom. And
Yoav fled to the Tabernacle of vuvh, and took hold of the
horns of the altar.
29 And it was told melech Shlomo that Yoav was fled to
the Tabernacle of vuvh; and, see, he is by the altar. Then
Shlomo sent Benayahu the son of Yahoyada, saying, Go,
and kill him.
30 And Benayahu came to the Tabernacle of vuvh, and
said to him, This says the melech, Come out. And he said,
No; but I will die here. And Benayahu brought the melech
word again, saying, This said Yoav, and so he answered
me.
31 And the melech said to him, Do as he has said, and fall
upon him, and bury him; that you may take away the
innocent dahm, which Yoav shed, from me, and from the
bayit of my abba.
32 And vuvh shall return his dahm upon his own head,
who fell upon two men more tzadik and better than he,
and killed them with the sword, my abba Dawid not
knowing about it, Avner the son of Ner, captain of the
army of Yisrael, and Amasa the son of Yether, captain of
the army of Yahudah. 852
33 Their dahm shall therefore return upon the head of
Yoav, and upon the head of his zera le-olam-va-ed: but
upon Dawid, and upon his zera, and upon his bayit, and
upon his kesay, shall there be shalom le-olam-va-ed from
vuvh.
34 So Benayahu the son of Yahoyada went up, and fell
upon him, and killed him: and he was buried in his own
bayit in the wilderness.
35 And the melech put Benayahu the son of Yahoyada in
his place over the army: and Tzadok the kohen did the
melech put in the place of Aviathar.
36 And the melech sent and called for Shimei, and said to
him, Build a bayit in Yahrushalayim, and dwell there, and
go not out from there anywhere.
37 For it shall be, that on the day you go out, and pass
over the brook Kidron, you shall know for certain that
you shall surely die: your dahm shall be upon your own
head.
38 And Shimei said to the melech, The saying is tov: as
my master the melech has said, so will your eved do. And

Shimei dwelt in Yahrushalayim many days.
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two
of the avadim of Shimei ran away to Achish son of
Maachah melech of Gat. And they told Shimei, saying,
See, your avadim are in Gat.
40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went
to Gat to Achish to seek his avadim: and Shimei went out,
and brought his avadim from Gat.
41 And it was told Shlomo that Shimei had gone from
Yahrushalayim to Gat, and had come back.
42 And the melech sent and called for Shimei, and said to
him, Did I not make you to swear by vuvh, and warned
you, saying, Know for certain, on the day you go out, and
walk abroad anywhere, that you shall surely die? And you
said to me, The word that I have heard is tov.
43 Why then have you not kept the oath to vuvh, and the
commandment that I have commanded you?
44 The melech said moreover to Shimei, You know all
the wickedness that your lev is aware of, that you did to
Dawid my abba: therefore vuvh shall return your
wickedness upon your own head;
45 And melech Shlomo shall be blessed, and the kesay of
Dawid shall be established before vuvh le-olam-va-ed.
46 So the melech commanded Benayahu the son of
Yahoyada; who went out, and fell upon him, so that he
died. And the malchut was established in the hand of
Shlomo.
And Shlomo became son in law to Pharaoh melech of
Mitzrayim, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her
into the city of Dawid, until he had made an end of
building his own bayit, and the Bayit of vuvh, and the
wall of Yahrushalayim all around.
2 Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because
there was no bayit built for the Name of vuvh, before
those days.
3 And Shlomo loved vuvh, walking in the chukim of
Dawid his abba: only he sacrificed and burned incense in
the high places.
4 And the melech went to Giveon to sacrifice there; for
that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings
did Shlomo offer upon that altar.
5 In Giveon vuvh appeared to Shlomo in a dream by
night: and Elohim said, Ask what I shall give you.
6 And Shlomo said, You have shown to Your eved Dawid
my abba great chesed, as he had his halacha before You
in emet, and in tzedakah, and in uprightness of lev; and
You have kept for him this great chesed, that You have
given him a son to sit on his kesay, as it is this day.
7 And now, O vuvh my Elohim, You have made Your
eved melech instead of Dawid my abba: and I am like a
little child: I know not how to go out, or come in.
8 And Your eved is in the midst of Your people that You
have chosen, a great people that cannot be numbered nor
counted for multitude. 853

9 So give Your eved a lev of binah to judge Your people,
that I may discern between tov and bad: for who is able to
judge this Your great people?
10 And the words pleased vuvh, that Shlomo had asked
this thing.
11 And Elohim said to him, Because you have asked this
thing, and have not asked for yourself long chayim;
neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked for
