اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 2

١ 1 وَلَمَّا قَرُبَتْ أَيَّامُ وَفَاةِ دَاوُدَ أَوْصَى سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ قَائِلًا:

Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

٢ 2 «أَنَا ذَاهِبٌ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، فَتَشَدَّدْ وَكُنْ رَجُلًا.

I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;

٣ 3 اِحْفَظْ شَعَائِرَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، إِذْ تَسِيرُ فِي طُرُقِهِ، وَتَحْفَظُ فَرَائِضَهُ، وَصَايَاهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، لِكَيْ تُفْلِحَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَفْعَلُ وَحَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهْتَ.

And keep the charge of YHWH thy Elohim, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

٤ 4 لِكَيْ يُقِيمَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامَهُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنِّي قَائِلًا: إِذَا حَفِظَ بَنُوكَ طَرِيقَهُمْ وَسَلَكُوا أَمَامِي بِٱلْأَمَانَةِ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَكُلِّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، قَالَ لَا يُعْدَمُ لَكَ رَجُلٌ عَنْ كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

That YHWH may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

٥ 5 وَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا تَعْلَمُ مَا فَعَلَ بِي يُوآبُ ٱبْنُ صَرُويَةَ، مَا فَعَلَ لِرَئِيسَيْ جُيُوشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: ٱبْنَيْرَ بْنِ نَيْرَ وَعَمَاسَا بْنِ يَثْرٍ، إِذْ قَتَلَهُمَا وَسَفَكَ دَمَ ٱلْحَرْبِ فِي ٱلصُّلْحِ، وَجَعَلَ دَمَ ٱلْحَرْبِ فِي مِنْطَقَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى حَقَوَيْهِ وَفِي نَعْلَيْهِ ٱللَّتَيْنِ بِرِجْلَيْهِ.

Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

٦ 6 فَٱفْعَلْ حَسَبَ حِكْمَتِكَ وَلَا تَدَعْ شَيْبَتَهُ تَنْحَدِرُ بِسَلَامٍ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585)

Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)

٧ 7 وَٱفْعَلْ مَعْرُوفًا لِبَنِي بَرْزِلَّايِ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيِّ فَيَكُونُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْآكِلِينَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِكَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ هَكَذَا تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيَّ عِنْدَ هَرَبِي مِنْ وَجْهِ أَبْشَالُومَ أَخِيكَ.

But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.

٨ 8 وَهُوَذَا مَعَكَ شِمْعِي بْنُ جِيرَا ٱلْبَنْيَامِينِيُّ مِنْ بَحُورِيمَ، وَهُوَ لَعَنَنِي لَعْنَةً شَدِيدَةً يَوْمَ ٱنْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى مَحَنَايِمَ، وَقَدْ نَزَلَ لِلِقَائِي إِلَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، فَحَلَفْتُ لَهُ بِٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: إِنِّي لَا أُمِيتُكَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ.

And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by YHWH, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

٩ 9 وَٱلْآنَ فَلَا تُبَرِّرْهُ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ حَكِيمٌ، فَٱعْلَمْ مَا تَفْعَلُ بِهِ وَأَحْدِرْ شَيْبَتَهُ بِٱلدَّمِ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ».». (Sheol h7585)

Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. (Sheol h7585)

١٠ 10 وَٱضْطَجَعَ دَاوُدُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ.

So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

١١ 11 وَكَانَ ٱلزَّمَانُ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِيهِ دَاوُدُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. فِي حَبْرُونَ مَلَكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ، وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَلَكَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً.

And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

١٢ 12 وَجَلَسَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَتَثَبَّتَ مُلْكُهُ جِدًّا.

Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ جَاءَ أَدُونِيَّا ٱبْنُ حَجِّيثَ إِلَى بَثْشَبَعَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمَانَ. فَقَالَتْ: «أَلِلسَّلَامِ جِئْتَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لِلسَّلَامِ».

And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

١٤ 14 ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لِي مَعَكِ كَلِمَةٌ». فَقَالَتْ: «تَكَلَّمْ».

He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ: «أَنْتِ تَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ ٱلْمُلْكَ كَانَ لِي، وَقَدْ جَعَلَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وُجُوهَهُمْ نَحْوِي لِأَمْلِكَ، فَدَارَ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَصَارَ لِأَخِي لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ صَارَ لَهُ.

And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from YHWH.

١٦ 16 وَٱلْآنَ أَسْأَلُكِ سُؤَالًا وَاحِدًا فَلَا تَرُدِّينِي فِيهِ». فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ».

And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

١٧ 17 فَقَالَ: «قُولِي لِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَرُدُّكِ، أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِي أَبِيشَجَ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةَ ٱمْرَأَةً».

And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay, ) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

١٨ 18 فَقَالَتْ بَثْشَبَعُ: «حَسَنًا. أَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ».

And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

١٩ 19 فَدَخَلَتْ بَثْشَبَعُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ لِتُكَلِّمَهُ عَنْ أَدُونِيَّا. فَقَامَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلِقَائِهَا وَسَجَدَ لَهَا وَجَلَسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، وَوَضَعَ كُرْسِيًّا لِأُمِّ ٱلْمَلِكِ فَجَلَسَتْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ.

Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

٢٠ 20 وَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالًا وَاحِدًا صَغِيرًا. لَا تَرُدَّنِي». فَقَالَ لَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱسْأَلِي يَا أُمِّي، لِأَنِّي لَا أَرُدُّكِ».

Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

٢١ 21 فَقَالَتْ: «لِتُعْطَ أَبِيشَجُ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةُ لِأَدُونِيَّا أَخِيكَ ٱمْرَأَةً».

And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

٢٢ 22 فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ وَقَالَ لِأُمِّهِ: «وَلِمَاذَا أَنْتِ تَسْأَلِينَ أَبِيشَجَ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةَ لِأَدُونِيَّا؟ فَٱسْأَلِي لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكَ لِأَنَّهُ أَخِي ٱلْأَكْبَرُ مِنِّي! لَهُ وَلِأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَلِيُوآبَ ٱبْنِ صَرُويَةَ».

And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

٢٣ 23 وَحَلَفَ سُلَيْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ لِيَ ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ أَدُونِيَّا بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ ضِدَّ نَفْسِهِ.

Then king Solomon sware by YHWH, saying, Elohim do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

٢٤ 24 وَٱلْآنَ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي ثَبَّتَنِي وَأَجْلَسَنِي عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ أَبِي، وَٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ لِي بَيْتًا كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ، إِنَّهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يُقْتَلُ أَدُونِيَّا».

Now therefore, as YHWH liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

٢٥ 25 فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ بِيَدِ بَنَايَاهُو بْنِ يَهُويَادَاعَ، فَبَطَشَ بِهِ فَمَاتَ.

And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

٢٦ 26 وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ: «ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى عَنَاثُوثَ إِلَى حُقُولِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ مُسْتَوْجِبُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَلَسْتُ أَقْتُلُكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَ تَابُوتَ سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبِّ أَمَامَ دَاوُدَ أَبِي، وَلِأَنَّكَ تَذَلَّلْتَ بِكُلِّ مَا تَذَلَّلَ بِهِ أَبِي».

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Soveriegn YHWH before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

٢٧ 27 وَطَرَدَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَبِيَاثَارَ عَنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَاهِنًا لِلرَّبِّ، لِإِتْمَامِ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى بَيْتِ عَالِي فِي شِيلُوهَ.

So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto YHWH; that he might fulfil the word of YHWH, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

٢٨ 28 فَأَتَى ٱلْخَبَرُ إِلَى يُوآبَ، لِأَنَّ يُوآبَ مَالَ وَرَاءَ أَدُونِيَّا وَلَمْ يَمِلْ وَرَاءَ أَبْشَالُومَ، فَهَرَبَ يُوآبُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَتَمَسَّكَ بِقُرُونِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ.

Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of YHWH, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

٢٩ 29 فَأُخْبِرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ بِأَنَّ يُوآبَ قَدْ هَرَبَ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَهَا هُوَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. فَأَرْسَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ قَائِلًا: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱبْطِشْ بِهِ».

And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of YHWH; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

٣٠ 30 فَدَخَلَ بَنَايَاهُو إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: ٱخْرُجْ». فَقَالَ: «كَّلَا، وَلَكِنَّنِي هُنَا أَمُوتُ». فَرَدَّ بَنَايَاهُو ٱلْجَوَابَ عَلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا تَكَلَّمَ يُوآبُ وَهَكَذَا جَاوَبَنِي».

And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of YHWH, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

٣١ 31 فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱفْعَلْ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ، وَٱبْطِشْ بِهِ وَٱدْفِنْهُ، وَأَزِلْ عَنِّي وَعَنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي ٱلدَّمَ ٱلزَّكِيَّ ٱلَّذِي سَفَكَهُ يُوآبُ،

And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

٣٢ 32 فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ دَمَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ بَطَشَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ بَرِيئَيْنِ وَخَيْرٍ مِنْهُ وَقَتَلَهُمَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَأَبِي دَاوُدُ لَا يَعْلَمُ، وَهُمَا أَبْنَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرٍ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَمَاسَا بْنُ يَثَرٍ رَئِيسُ جَيْشِ يَهُوذَا.

And YHWH shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

٣٣ 33 فَيَرْتَدُّ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسِ يُوآبَ وَرَأْسِ نَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَيَكُونُ لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ وَبَيْتِهِ وَكُرْسِيِّهِ سَلَامٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ».

Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from YHWH.

٣٤ 34 فَصَعِدَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَبَطَشَ بِهِ وَقَتَلَهُ، فَدُفِنَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

٣٥ 35 وَجَعَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ مَكَانَهُ عَلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ مَكَانَ أَبِيَاثَارَ.

And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

٣٦ 36 ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَدَعَا شِمْعِيَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اِبْنِ لِنَفْسِكَ بَيْتًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَقِمْ هُنَاكَ وَلَا تَخْرُجْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هُنَا أَوْ هُنَالِكَ.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

٣٧ 37 فَيَوْمَ تَخْرُجُ وَتَعْبُرُ وَادِيَ قَدْرُونَ، ٱعْلَمَنَّ بِأَنَّكَ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ، وَيَكُونُ دَمُكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ».

For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

٣٨ 38 فَقَالَ شِمْعِي لِلْمَلِكِ: «حَسَنٌ ٱلْأَمْرُ. كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ كَذَلِكَ يَصْنَعُ عَبْدُكَ». فَأَقَامَ شِمْعِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً.

And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my master the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

٣٩ 39 وَفِي نِهَايَةِ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ هَرَبَ عَبْدَانِ لِشِمْعِي إِلَى أَخِيشَ بْنِ مَعْكَةَ مَلِكِ جَتَّ، فَأَخْبَرُوا شِمْعِي قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا عَبْدَاكَ فِي جَتَّ».

And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.

٤٠ 40 فَقَامَ شِمْعِي وَشَدَّ عَلَى حِمَارِهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى جَتَّ إِلَى أَخِيشَ لِيُفَتِّشَ عَلَى عَبْدَيْهِ، فَٱنْطَلَقَ شِمْعِي وَأَتَى بِعَبْدَيْهِ مِنْ جَتَّ.

And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

٤١ 41 فَأُخْبِرَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِأَنَّ شِمْعِي قَدِ ٱنْطَلَقَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى جَتَّ وَرَجَعَ.

And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

٤٢ 42 فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَدَعَا شِمْعِيَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَمَا ٱسْتَحْلَفْتُكَ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَأَشْهَدْتُ عَلَيْكَ قَائِلًا: إِنَّكَ يَوْمَ تَخْرُجُ وَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى هُنَا وَهُنَالِكَ، ٱعْلَمَنَّ بِأَنَّكَ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ؟ فَقُلْتَ لِي: حَسَنٌ ٱلْأَمْرُ. قَدْ سَمِعْتُ.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by YHWH, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any wither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.

٤٣ 43 فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَحْفَظْ يَمِينَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْوَصِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ بِهَا؟».

Why then hast thou not kept the oath of YHWH, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?

٤٤ 44 ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِشِمْعِي: «أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي عَلِمَهُ قَلْبُكَ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتَهُ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي، فَلِيَرُدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ شَرَّكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ.

The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore YHWH shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;

٤٥ 45 وَٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ يُبَارَكُ، وَكُرْسِيُّ دَاوُدَ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before YHWH for ever.

٤٦ 46 وَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ، فَخَرَجَ وَبَطَشَ بِهِ فَمَاتَ. وَتَثَبَّتَ ٱلْمُلْكُ بِيَدِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
