Ọ zaghachiri ya sị, “Biko rịọrọ m Solomọn eze, nʼihi na amaara m na ọ ga-eme ihe ọbụla ị rịọrọ ya, ka ọ kpọnye m Abishag, nwanyị Shunem ahụ, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m.”

23 Na ɔhene Salomo de Awurade edin kaa ntam sɛ, “Sɛ Adoniya amfa ne nkwa antwa saa abisadeɛ yi so a, Onyankopɔn ne me nni no denden so pa ara.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Solomọn ji Onyenwe anyị ṅụọ iyi sị, “Ka Chineke mesoo m mmeso, otu ọbụla mmeso ahụ si dị njọ, ma ọ bụrụ na Adonaịja ejighị ndụ ya kwụọ ụgwọ nʼihi arịrịọ a.

25 Enti, Salomo hyɛɛ Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ ɔnkum no, na ɔkumm Adoniya.
Eze Solomọn zigara Benaya nwa Jehoiada ka ọ gaa gbuo Adonaịja. Benaya gakwara tigbuo Adonaịja.
26 Na ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Abiatar sɛ, “Sane kɔ wo kurom Anatot. Wofata sɛ wowuo, nanso merenku wo seesei, ɛfiri sɛ, wosoaa Awurade Otumfoɔ Adaka no maa mʼagya, na wo ne no nyinaa na mohunuu amane wɔ nʼabɛbrɛsɛ nyinaa mu.”
Eze kpọkwara Abịata onye nchụaja sị ya, “Laghachi azụ nʼubi gị nʼAnatot. I kwesiri ịnwụ ọnwụ ma ọ bụghị ugbu a ka a ga-egbu gị nʼihi na i buru igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nʼoge nna m Devid dị ndụ. I sokwa ya hụọ ahụhụ nʼoge ahụ niile o nwere nsogbu.”
27 Enti, Salomo worɔɔ Abiatar atadeɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ, nam so dii mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ wɔ Silo fa Eli asefoɔ ho no so.

28 Ɛwom, ahyɛaseɛ no na ɔnni Absalom akyi, nanso Yoab de ne ho kɔdɔm Adoniya adɔnyɛ no. Ɛberɛ a Yoab tee Adoniya wuo no, ɔtuu mmirika kɔɔ Awurade ntomadan kronkron no mu, na ɔkɔsosɔɔ mmɛn a ɛtuatua afɔrebukyia no ho no mu.

29 Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Salomo tee asɛm yi, ɔsomaa Yehoiada babarima Benaia sɛ ɔnkɔkum no.
Mgbe a gwara eze Solomọn, na Joab a gbabala nʼụlọ ikwu Onyenwe anyị, nọdụ nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja. Solomọn nyere Benaya, nwa Jehoiada iwu sị, “Gaa, tituo ya nʼala.”
30 Na Benaia kɔɔ Awurade ntomadan kronkron no mu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yoab sɛ, “Ɔhene se firi adi.” Nanso, Yoab buaa sɛ, “Dabi, mɛwu wɔ ha.” Enti, Benaia sane kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn kɔkaa asɛm a Yoab aka no kyerɛɛ no.
Benaya banyere nʼime ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị, sị Joab, “Eze sị gị, ‘pụta ezi!’” Ma ọ zara, “Mba, aga m anwụ nʼebe a.” Nʼihi nke a, Benaya jekwuru eze gwa ya ihe Joab kwuru.
31 Ɔhene no tee asɛm a Yoab kaeɛ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Benaia sɛ, “Yɛ deɛ ɔkaeɛ no. Ku no wɔ afɔrebukyia no ho, na sie no. Yei bɛyi adwenemherɛ mogyahwieguo ho afɔdie afiri me ne mʼagya fiefoɔ so.
Mgbe ahụ, eze nyere Benaya iwu sị ya, “Gaa mee dịka o kwuru. Gbuo ya, liekwa ya. Nke a ga-eme ka ikpe ọmụma ghara ịdịrị mụ na ezinaụlọ nna m Devid nʼihi ikpe ọmụma dịrị Joab maka ọbara ndị aka ha dị ọcha ọ wụsiri.

Emesịa, eze ziri Shimei ozi sị ya, “wuoro onwe gị ụlọ na Jerusalem, biri nʼebe ahụ, esitekwala nʼebe ahụ pụọ jee ebe ọbụla.
