Now I have one request to make to you, and do not say, No, to me. And she said to him, Say on.

וְעַתָּ֗ה (וְ) ve. “and”

Then he said, Will you go to Solomon the king (for he will not say, No, to you) and put before him my request that he will give me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife?

וְיִתֶּן־ (וְ) ve. “so”

Then King Solomon made answer and said to his mother, Why are you requesting me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Take the kingdom for him in addition, for he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, are on his

Then King Solomon took an oath by the Lord, saying, May God's punishment be on me if Adonijah does not give payment for these words with his life.

וְכֹ֣ה (וְ) ve. “and”

Now by the living Lord, who has given me my place on the seat of David my father, and made me one of a line of kings, as he gave me his word, truly Adonijah will be put to death this day.

וְעַתָּ֗ה (וְ) ve. “and”וַאֲשֶׁ֧ר (וַ) va. “and”

And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for death would be your right reward; but I will not put you to death now, because you took up the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and you were with him in all his trou

וּלְאֶבְיָתָ֨ר (וּ) u. “and”וּבַיּ֨וֹם (וּ) u. “and”וְכִ֣י (וְ) ve. “and”

And news of this came to Joab; for Joab had been one of Adonijah's supporters, though he had not been on Absalom's side. Then Joab went in flight to the Tent of the Lord, and put his hands on the horns of the altar.

וְהַשְּׁמֻעָה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאַחֲרֵ֥י (וְ) ve. “and”

And they said to King Solomon, Joab has gone in flight to the Tent of the Lord and is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, make an attack on him.

וְהִנֵּ֖ה (וְ) ve. “and”

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.

וְכֹ֥ה (וְ) ve. “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.

וּפְגַע־ (וּ) u. “and”וּמֵעַ֖ל (וּ) u. “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

וְטֹבִ֤ים (וְ) ve. “and”וְאָבִ֥י (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “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.

וּבְרֹ֥אשׁ (וּ) u. “and”וּלְדָוִ֡ד (וּ) u. “and”וּ֠לְזַרְעוֹ (וּ֠) u. “and”וּלְבֵית֨וֹ (וּ) u. “and”וּלְכִסְא֜וֹ (וּ) u. “and”

And the king put Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest he put in the place of Abiathar.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

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.

וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”וָאָֽנָה׃ (וָ) 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!

וָאָ֔נָה (וָ) va. “and”

Why then have you not kept the oath of the Lord and the order which I gave you?

וּמַדּ֕וּעַ (וּ) u. “and”וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

But a blessing will be on King Solomon, and the kingdom of David will keep its place before the Lord for ever.

וְהַמֶּ֥לֶךְ (וְ) ve. “and”וְכִסֵּ֣א (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.

וְהַמַּמְלָכָ֥ה (וְ) ve. “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.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “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.

וּמַקְטִֽיר׃ (וּ) u. “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.

וּבִצְדָקָ֛ה (וּ) u. “and”וּבְיִשְׁרַ֥ת (וּ) u. “and”

And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father; and I am only a young boy, with no knowledge of how to go out or come in.

וְעַתָּה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאָֽנֹכִי֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וָבֹֽא׃ (וָ) va. “and”

And your servant has round him the people of your selection, a people so great that they may not be numbered, and no account of them may be given.

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;

וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

I have done as you said: I have given you a wise and far-seeing heart, so that there has never been your equal in the past, and never will there be any like you in the future.
