And Benaiah came to the Tent of the Lord and said to him, The king says, Come out. And he said, No; but let death come to me here. And Benaiah went back to the king and gave him word of the answer which Joab had given.

וַיָּבֹ֨א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֥אמֶר׀ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֨שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”

And the king said, Do as he has said and make an attack on him there, and put his body into the earth; so that you may take away from me and from my family the blood of one put to death by Joab without cause.

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וּקְבַרְתּ֑וֹ (וּ) u. “and”וַהֲסִירֹ֣תָ׀ (וַ) va. “and”

And the Lord will send back his blood on his head, because of the attack he made on two men more upright and better than himself, putting them to the sword without my father's knowledge; even Abner, the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amas

וְהֵשִׁיב֩ (וְ) ve. “and”וַיַּהַרְגֵ֣ם (וַ) va “and”

So their blood will be on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for ever; but for David and his seed and his family and the seat of his kingdom, there will be peace for ever from the Lord.

וְשָׁ֤בוּ (וְ) ve. “and”

So Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up, and falling on him, put him to death; and his body was put to rest in his house in the waste land.

Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Make a house for yourself in Jerusalem and keep there and go to no other place.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֧שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”

But after three years, two of the servants of Shimei went in flight to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And word was given to Shimei that his servants had gone to Gath.

וַיְהִ֗י (וַ) va “and”וַיִּבְרְח֤וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגִּ֤ידוּ (וַ) va “and”

Then Shimei got up, and making ready his ass, he went to Gath, to Achish, in search of his servants; and he sent and got them from Gath.

And news was given to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back again.

וַיֻּגַּ֖ד (וַ) va “and”וַיָּשֹֽׁב׃ (וַ) va “and”

Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you take an oath by the Lord, protesting to you and saying, Be certain that on the day when you go out from here, wherever you go, death will overtake you? and you said to me, Very well!

וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְרָ֣א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וָאָעִ֤ד (וָ) va. “and”וְהָֽלַכְתָּ֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וַתֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

And the king said to Shimei, You have knowledge of all the evil which you did to David my father; and now the Lord has sent back your evil on yourself.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְהֵשִׁ֧יב (וְ) ve. “and”

So the king gave orders to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and, falling on him, put him to death. And Solomon's authority over the kingdom was complete.

וַיְצַ֣ו (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצֵ֕א (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפְגַּע־ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּמֹ֑ת (וַ) va “and”

Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter as his wife, keeping her in the town of David, till the house he was building for himself, and the house of the Lord and the wall round Jerusalem, were complete.

וַיִּתְחַתֵּ֣ן (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקַּ֣ח (וַ) va “and”וַיְבִיאֶ֙הָ֙ (וַ) va “and”

And Solomon, in his love for the Lord, kept the laws of David his father; but he made offerings and let them go up in smoke on the high places.

וַיֶּאֱהַ֤ב (וַ) va “and”

And the king went to Gibeon to make an offering there, because that was the chief high place: it was Solomon's way to make a thousand burned offerings on that altar.

וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”

In Gibeon, Solomon had a vision of the Lord in a dream by night; and God said to him, Say what I am to give you.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Solomon said, Great was your mercy to David my father, as his life before you was true and upright and his heart was true to you; and you have kept for him this greatest mercy, a son to take his place this day.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַתִּשְׁמָר־ (וַ) va. “and”וַתִּתֶּן־ (וַ) va. “and”

Give your servant, then, a wise heart for judging your people, able to see what is good and what evil; for who is able to be the judge of this great people?

וְנָתַתָּ֨ (וְ) ve. “and”

Now these words and Solomon's request were pleasing to the Lord.

וַיִּיטַ֥ב (וַ) va “and”

And God said to him, Because your request is for this thing, and not for long life for yourself or for wealth or for the destruction of your haters, but for wisdom to be a judge of causes;

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְשָׁאַ֧לְתָּ (וְ) ve. “and”

And if you go on in my ways, keeping my laws and my orders as your father David did, I will give you a long life.

וְהַאַרַכְתִּ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”

And Solomon, awakening, saw that it was a dream; then he came to Jerusalem, where he went before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings; and he made a feast for all his servants.
