< 1 Kings 2 >

1 And when the days of David drew near that he should die, he charged Solomon his son, saying,
وَلَمَّا قَرُبَتْ أَيَّامُ وَفَاةِ دَاوُدَ أَوْصَى سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ قَائِلًا:١
2 I am going the way of all the earth; but be thou strong, and become a man;
«أَنَا ذَاهِبٌ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، فَتَشَدَّدْ وَكُنْ رَجُلًا.٢
3 And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses; in order that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
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.٣
4 In order that the Lord may fulfill his word which he hath spoken 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 never fail thee, said he, a man on the throne of Israel.
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.٤
5 And thou also knowest well what Joab the son of Zeruyah hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto 'Amassa the son of Yether, 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 on his shoes that were on his feet.
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.٥
6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down in peace to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
فَٱفْعَلْ حَسَبَ حِكْمَتِكَ وَلَا تَدَعْ شَيْبَتَهُ تَنْحَدِرُ بِسَلَامٍ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585)٦
7 But unto the sons of Barzillai the Gil'adite show thou kindness, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came near to me when I fled from before Abshalom thy brother.
وَٱفْعَلْ مَعْرُوفًا لِبَنِي بَرْزِلَّايِ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيِّ فَيَكُونُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْآكِلِينَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِكَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ هَكَذَا تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيَّ عِنْدَ هَرَبِي مِنْ وَجْهِ أَبْشَالُومَ أَخِيكَ.٧
8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shim'i the son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bachurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse on the day when I went to Machanayim; but who came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
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.٨
9 But now leave him not unpunished; for thou art a wise man; know then what thou oughtest to do unto him, and bring thou down his hoary head with blood to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
وَٱلْآنَ فَلَا تُبَرِّرْهُ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ حَكِيمٌ، فَٱعْلَمْ مَا تَفْعَلُ بِهِ وَأَحْدِرْ شَيْبَتَهُ بِٱلدَّمِ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ».». (Sheol h7585)٩
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
وَٱضْطَجَعَ دَاوُدُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ.١٠
11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years.
وَكَانَ ٱلزَّمَانُ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِيهِ دَاوُدُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. فِي حَبْرُونَ مَلَكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينٍ، وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَلَكَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً.١١
12 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
وَجَلَسَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَتَثَبَّتَ مُلْكُهُ جِدًّا.١٢
13 And Adoniyah the son of Chaggith came to Bath-sheba' the mother of Solomon: and she said, Is thy coming for peace? And he said, For peace.
ثُمَّ جَاءَ أَدُونِيَّا ٱبْنُ حَجِّيثَ إِلَى بَثْشَبَعَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمَانَ. فَقَالَتْ: «أَلِلسَّلَامِ جِئْتَ؟» فَقَالَ: «لِلسَّلَامِ».١٣
14 He said moreover, I have a word for thee. And she said, Speak.
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لِي مَعَكِ كَلِمَةٌ». فَقَالَتْ: «تَكَلَّمْ».١٤
15 And he said, Thou well knowest that mine was the kingdom, and that on me all Israel had set their faces, that I should reign: nevertheless the kingdom was turned about, and became my brother's; for from the Lord was it [made] his.
فَقَالَ: «أَنْتِ تَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ ٱلْمُلْكَ كَانَ لِي، وَقَدْ جَعَلَ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وُجُوهَهُمْ نَحْوِي لِأَمْلِكَ، فَدَارَ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَصَارَ لِأَخِي لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ صَارَ لَهُ.١٥
16 And now there is one petition I am going to ask of thee, do not turn me away. And she said unto him, Speak.
وَٱلْآنَ أَسْأَلُكِ سُؤَالًا وَاحِدًا فَلَا تَرُدِّينِي فِيهِ». فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «تَكَلَّمْ».١٦
17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, [for he will not turn thee away, ] that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite for wife.
فَقَالَ: «قُولِي لِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَرُدُّكِ، أَنْ يُعْطِيَنِي أَبِيشَجَ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةَ ٱمْرَأَةً».١٧
18 And Bath-sheba' said, Well: I will speak for thee unto the king.
فَقَالَتْ بَثْشَبَعُ: «حَسَنًا. أَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ».١٨
19 Bath-sheba' thereupon went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adoniyah; and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and then sat down on his throne, and placed a chair for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
فَدَخَلَتْ بَثْشَبَعُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ لِتُكَلِّمَهُ عَنْ أَدُونِيَّا. فَقَامَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلِقَائِهَا وَسَجَدَ لَهَا وَجَلَسَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، وَوَضَعَ كُرْسِيًّا لِأُمِّ ٱلْمَلِكِ فَجَلَسَتْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ.١٩
20 Then said she, There is one small petition I am going to ask of thee; do not turn me away. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not turn thee away.
وَقَالَتْ: «إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالًا وَاحِدًا صَغِيرًا. لَا تَرُدَّنِي». فَقَالَ لَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱسْأَلِي يَا أُمِّي، لِأَنِّي لَا أَرُدُّكِ».٢٠
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adoniyah thy brother for wife.
فَقَالَتْ: «لِتُعْطَ أَبِيشَجُ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةُ لِأَدُونِيَّا أَخِيكَ ٱمْرَأَةً».٢١
22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adoniyah? rather ask for him the kingdom; for he is my elder brother; — even for him, and for Ebyathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruyah.
فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ وَقَالَ لِأُمِّهِ: «وَلِمَاذَا أَنْتِ تَسْأَلِينَ أَبِيشَجَ ٱلشُّونَمِيَّةَ لِأَدُونِيَّا؟ فَٱسْأَلِي لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكَ لِأَنَّهُ أَخِي ٱلْأَكْبَرُ مِنِّي! لَهُ وَلِأَبِيَاثَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَلِيُوآبَ ٱبْنِ صَرُويَةَ».٢٢
23 Then swore king Solomon by the Lord, saying, May God do so to me, and may he thus continue, if Adoniyah have not spoken this word against his own life.
وَحَلَفَ سُلَيْمَانُ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ لِيَ ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ أَدُونِيَّا بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ ضِدَّ نَفْسِهِ.٢٣
24 And now, as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and seated me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he hath spoken, this very day shall Adoniyah be put to death.
وَٱلْآنَ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي ثَبَّتَنِي وَأَجْلَسَنِي عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ دَاوُدَ أَبِي، وَٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ لِي بَيْتًا كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ، إِنَّهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يُقْتَلُ أَدُونِيَّا».٢٤
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benayahu the son of Yehoyada'; and he fell upon him so that he died.
فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ بِيَدِ بَنَايَاهُو بْنِ يَهُويَادَاعَ، فَبَطَشَ بِهِ فَمَاتَ.٢٥
26 And unto Ebyathar the priest said the king, Go to 'Anathoth, unto thy own fields; for thou art a man worthy of death; but on this day will I not put thee to death; because thou hast borne the ark of the Lord Eternal before David my father, and because thou was afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
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».٢٦
27 So Solomon banished Ebyathar that he should not be priest unto the Lord, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken concerning the house of 'Eli in Shiloh.
وَطَرَدَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَبِيَاثَارَ عَنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَاهِنًا لِلرَّبِّ، لِإِتْمَامِ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَلَى بَيْتِ عَالِي فِي شِيلُوهَ.٢٧
28 And the report came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adoniyah, though he had not turned after Abshalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
فَأَتَى ٱلْخَبَرُ إِلَى يُوآبَ، لِأَنَّ يُوآبَ مَالَ وَرَاءَ أَدُونِيَّا وَلَمْ يَمِلْ وَرَاءَ أَبْشَالُومَ، فَهَرَبَ يُوآبُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَتَمَسَّكَ بِقُرُونِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ.٢٨
29 And it was told to king Solomon that Joab had fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord; and that, behold, he was close by the altar. Then sent Solomon Benayahu the son of Yehoyada,' saying, Go, fall upon him.
فَأُخْبِرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ بِأَنَّ يُوآبَ قَدْ هَرَبَ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَهَا هُوَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. فَأَرْسَلَ سُلَيْمَانُ بَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ قَائِلًا: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱبْطِشْ بِهِ».٢٩
30 And Benayahu came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him, Thus hath said the king, Come forth. And he said, No; but here will I die. And Benayahu brought the king word again, saying, Thus hath Joab spoken, and thus hath he answered me.
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».٣٠
31 Then said the king unto him, Do as he hath spoken, and fall upon him, and bury him; and remove [thus] the innocent blood, which Joab hath shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱفْعَلْ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ، وَٱبْطِشْ بِهِ وَٱدْفِنْهُ، وَأَزِلْ عَنِّي وَعَنْ بَيْتِ أَبِي ٱلدَّمَ ٱلزَّكِيَّ ٱلَّذِي سَفَكَهُ يُوآبُ،٣١
32 And may the Lord bring back his blood-guiltiness upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, while my father David knew it not, Abner the son of Ner, the captain of the army of Israel, and 'Amassa the son of Yether, the captain of the army of Judah.
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.٣٢
33 And their blood shall return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, may there be peace for ever from the Lord.
فَيَرْتَدُّ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسِ يُوآبَ وَرَأْسِ نَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَيَكُونُ لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ وَبَيْتِهِ وَكُرْسِيِّهِ سَلَامٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ».٣٣
34 So Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
فَصَعِدَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَبَطَشَ بِهِ وَقَتَلَهُ، فَدُفِنَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.٣٤
35 And the king appointed Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest did the king appoint in the place of Ebyathar.
وَجَعَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ مَكَانَهُ عَلَى ٱلْجَيْشِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ صَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ مَكَانَ أَبِيَاثَارَ.٣٥
36 And the king sent and called for Shim'i, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and thou shalt not go forth from there hither or thither.
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَدَعَا شِمْعِيَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «اِبْنِ لِنَفْسِكَ بَيْتًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَقِمْ هُنَاكَ وَلَا تَخْرُجْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى هُنَا أَوْ هُنَالِكَ.٣٦
37 And 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 thy own head.
فَيَوْمَ تَخْرُجُ وَتَعْبُرُ وَادِيَ قَدْرُونَ، ٱعْلَمَنَّ بِأَنَّكَ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ، وَيَكُونُ دَمُكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ».٣٧
38 And Shim'i said unto the king, It is well: as my Lord the king hath spoken, so will thy servant do. And Shim'i dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
فَقَالَ شِمْعِي لِلْمَلِكِ: «حَسَنٌ ٱلْأَمْرُ. كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ كَذَلِكَ يَصْنَعُ عَبْدُكَ». فَأَقَامَ شِمْعِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً.٣٨
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two servants of Shim'i ran away unto Achish the son of Ma'achah the king of Gath: and they told unto Shim'i, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
وَفِي نِهَايَةِ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ هَرَبَ عَبْدَانِ لِشِمْعِي إِلَى أَخِيشَ بْنِ مَعْكَةَ مَلِكِ جَتَّ، فَأَخْبَرُوا شِمْعِي قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا عَبْدَاكَ فِي جَتَّ».٣٩
40 And Shim'i arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants; and Shim'i went, and brought his servants from Gath.
فَقَامَ شِمْعِي وَشَدَّ عَلَى حِمَارِهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى جَتَّ إِلَى أَخِيشَ لِيُفَتِّشَ عَلَى عَبْدَيْهِ، فَٱنْطَلَقَ شِمْعِي وَأَتَى بِعَبْدَيْهِ مِنْ جَتَّ.٤٠
41 And it was told to Solomon that Shim'i had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
فَأُخْبِرَ سُلَيْمَانُ بِأَنَّ شِمْعِي قَدِ ٱنْطَلَقَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى جَتَّ وَرَجَعَ.٤١
42 And the king sent and called for Shim'i, and said unto him, Did I not make thee swear by the Lord, and warned thee, saying, On that day thou goest out, and walkest abroad hither or thither, know for certain that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, It is well, I have heard?
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.٤٢
43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment with which I charged thee?
فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَحْفَظْ يَمِينَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱلْوَصِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكَ بِهَا؟».٤٣
44 The king said moreover to Shim'i, Thou well knowest all the wickedness of which thy heart is conscious, that thou hast done to David my father: and the Lord bringeth back thy wickedness upon thy own head;
ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِشِمْعِي: «أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي عَلِمَهُ قَلْبُكَ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلْتَهُ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي، فَلِيَرُدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ شَرَّكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ.٤٤
45 But king Solomon will be blessed, and the throne of David will be established before the Lord for ever.
وَٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ يُبَارَكُ، وَكُرْسِيُّ دَاوُدَ يَكُونُ ثَابِتًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».٤٥
46 So the king commanded Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', who went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
وَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَنَايَاهُوَ بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ، فَخَرَجَ وَبَطَشَ بِهِ فَمَاتَ. وَتَثَبَّتَ ٱلْمُلْكُ بِيَدِ سُلَيْمَانَ.٤٦
