and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
002:033 So shall their blood return on the head of Joab, and on
the head of his seed forever: but to David, and to his seed,
and to his house, and to his throne, shall there be peace
for ever from Yahweh.
002:034 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell on him,
and killed him; and he was buried in his own house
in the wilderness.
002:035 The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the army;
and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
002:036 The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him,
Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there,
and don't go forth from there any where.
002:037 For on the day you go out, and pass over the brook Kidron,
know you for certain that you shall surely die:
your blood shall be on your own head.
002:038 Shimei said to the king, The saying is good:
as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.
Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.
002:039 It happened at the end of three years, that two of the servants
of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath.
They told Shimei, saying, Behold, your servants are in Gath.
002:040 Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish,
to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his
servants from Gath.
002:041 It was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath,
and was come again.
002:042 The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Didn't I
adjure you by Yahweh, and protest to you, saying, Know for certain,
that on the day you go out, and walk abroad any where,
you shall surely die? and you said to me, The saying that I
have heard is good.
002:043 Why then have you not kept the oath of Yahweh, and the commandment
that I have charged you with?
002:044 The king said moreover to Shimei, You know all the wickedness
which your heart is privy to, that you did to David my father:
therefore Yahweh shall return your wickedness on your own head.
002:045 But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David
shall be established before Yahweh forever.
002:046 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada;
and he went out, and fell on him, so that he died.
The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
003:001 Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took
Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David,
until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house
of Yahweh, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
003:002 Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there
was no house built for the name of Yahweh until those days.
003:003 Solomon loved Yahweh, walking in the statutes of David his father:
