1 Kings 2Wycliffe Bible (WYC) 2 Forsooth the days of David nighed, that he should die; and he commanded to Solomon, his son, and said, I enter into the way of all (the) earth; be thou strengthened (take thou courage), and be thou a strong man. 3 And keep thou the keepings and the behests of thy Lord God, that thou go in his ways, and keep his ceremonies, and his behests, and his dooms, and (his) witnessings, as it is written in the law of Moses; that thou understand all things which thou doest, and whither ever thou shalt turn thee. (And obey thou the orders and the commands of the Lord thy God, so that thou go in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commands, and his laws, or his judgements, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses; so that thou understand all the things that thou doest, and wherever thou shalt turn thyself.) 4 That the Lord confirm his words, which the Lord spake of me, and said, If thy sons keep my ways, and go before me in truth, in all their heart, and in all their soul, a man shall not be taken away of thee from the throne of Israel. (So that the Lord shall establish his words, which the Lord spoke about me, saying, If thy sons follow my ways, and go before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, a man of thee shall not be taken away from the throne of Israel.) 5 Also thou knowest what things Joab, the son of Zeruiah, did to me; (and) what things he did to [the] two princes of the host of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether, which he killed, and shedded the blood of battle in peace; and putted the blood of battle in his girdle, that was about his loins, and in his shoe(s), that was in his feet (and put the blood of battle upon his girdle, that was about his loins, and in his shoes, that were upon his feet). 6 Therefore thou shalt do by thy wisdom, and thou shalt not lead forth his hoariness peaceably to hells, either (the) sepulchre. (And so do thou by thy wisdom, and do not let his hoar hairs go down peacefully to Sheol, or into the grave, or into the tomb.) 7 But also thou shalt yield grace to the sons of Barzillai of Gilead, and they shall be eating in thy board (and they shall eat at thy table); for they met me, when I fled from the face of Absalom, thy brother. 8 Also thou hast with thee Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, of Bahurim, the which Shimei cursed me by the worst cursing, when I went to the defensible places; but for-thy he came down to me into my meeting, when I passed (the) Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, and said, I shall not slay thee with sword, (Also thou hast with thee Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, of Bahurim, the which Shimei cursed me by the worst cursing, when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan River, and I swore to him by the Lord, and said, I shall not kill thee with the sword,) 9 do not thou suffer him to be unpunished; forsooth thou art a wise man, and thou shalt know what thou shalt do to him, and thou shalt lead forth his hoar hairs with blood to hells. (but now do not thou allow him to go unpunished; thou art a wise man, and thou knowest what thou shalt do to him, and that is, thou shalt lead forth his hoar hairs in blood down to Sheol, or into the grave!) 10 And (then) David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 11 And the days, in which David reigned upon Israel, be forty years; in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem three and thirty years. 12 Forsooth Solomon sat upon the throne of David, his father, and his realm was made steadfast greatly (and his reign was firmly established). 13 And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon; and she said to him, Whether thine entering is peaceable? And he answered, It is peaceable (and she said to him, Cometh thou here in peace? And he answered, I have come in peace). 14 And he added, A word of me is to thee (And he added, I have a word to say to thee). And she said, Speak thou. 15 And he said, Thou knowest that the realm was mine, and all Israel purposed to make me into king to them; but the realm is translated, and is made my brother’s; for of the Lord it is ordained to him. (And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel purposed to make me king over them; but the kingdom was taken away from me, and made my brother’s; for the Lord ordained it to him.) 16 Now therefore I pray of thee one asking; shame thou not my face. And she said to him, Speak thou. 17 And he said, I pray, that thou say to Solomon the king; for he may not deny anything to thee; that he give me Abishag of Shunem to wife (that he give me Abishag of Shunem for a wife). 18 And Bathsheba said, Well, I shall speak for thee to the king. 19 Therefore Bathsheba came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah; and the king rose against the coming of her, and worshipped her, and sat on his throne; and a throne was set to the mother of the king, and she sat at his right side. (And so Bathsheba went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah; and the king rose up to greet her, and honoured her, and then sat down on his throne; and a throne was put in place for the king’s mother, and she sat at his right side.) 20 And she said to him, I pray of thee one little asking; shame thou not my face. And the king said to her, My mother, ask thou; for it is not leaveful that I turn away thy face (for it would not be right for me to refuse thee). 21 And she said, (Let) Abishag of Shunem be given (for a) wife to Adonijah, thy brother. 22 And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother, Why askest thou (only for) Abishag of Shunem to Adonijah? Ask thou to him also the realm (Why askest thou only for Abishag of Shunem for Adonijah? Why not ask thou also for the kingdom for him?); certainly he is mine elder brother, and he hath Abiathar, (the) priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah. 23 Therefore king Solomon swore by the Lord, and said, God do to me these things, and add these things too, for Adonijah hath spoken this word against his (own) life. 24 And now the Lord liveth, that hath confirmed me, and hath set me on the throne of [David,] my father, and that hath made to me an house, as he spake, for Adonijah shall be slain today. (And now as the Lord liveth, who hath firmly established me, and hath put me on the throne of my father David, and who hath made a house for me, as he promised, let Adonijah be killed today!) 25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and Benaiah slew Adonijah, and he was dead (and so he died). 26 Also the king said to Abiathar, the priest, Go thou into Anathoth, to thy field; and soothly thou art a man of death, that is, worthy of death, for conspiring against me, and David, my father; but today I shall not slay thee, for thou barest the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and thou sufferedest travail in all things, in which my father travailed. 27 Therefore Solomon putted out Abiathar, that he should not be priest of the Lord (And so Solomon put out Abiathar, so that he would no longer be the Lord’s priest), (so) that the word of the Lord were [ful]filled, which he spake on the house of Eli in Shiloh. 28 And a messenger came to Solomon, and said that Joab had bowed after Adonijah, and that he had not bowed after Solomon. Therefore Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and took the horn of the altar. (And a message concerning all of this came to Joab; for he had sided with Adonijah, but not with Absalom. And so Joab fled into the Tabernacle, or the Tent, of the Lord, and took hold of the horns of the altar.) 29 And it was told to king Solomon, that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was beside the altar; and Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and said, Go thou, and slay him. 30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to Joab, The king saith these things, Go thou out. And he said, I shall not go out, but I shall die here. Benaiah told the word to the king (Benaiah told this to the king), and said, Joab spake these things, and answered these things to me. 31 And the king said to Benaiah, Do thou as he hath spoken, and slay thou him, and (then) bury him; and thou shalt remove the innocent blood, that was shed out of Joab, from me, and from the house of my father (and so thou shalt remove the innocent blood that was shed by Joab, from me, and from my father’s house). 32 And the Lord yield on(to) his (own) head his (own) blood, for he killed two just men, and better than himself, and he killed them by (the) sword, while David, my father, knew not, Abner the son of Ner, the prince of the chivalry of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, the prince of the host of Judah (that is, Abner the son of Ner, the leader of Israel’s cavalry, or army, and Amasa, the son of Jether, the leader of Judah’s army). 33 And the blood of them shall turn again into the head of Joab, and into the head of his seed without end; but peace be of the Lord till into without end to David, and to his seed, and to the house, and [the] throne of him. (And their blood shall return onto Joab’s head, and onto the head of his descendants forevermore; but let peace, or prosperity, be from the Lord forevermore for David, and for his descendants, and for his house, and his throne.) 34 Therefore Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up, and assailed Joab, and killed him; and Joab was buried in his house in (the) desert. 35 And the king ordained Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, upon the host for Joab; and the king put Zadok the priest (in place) for Abiathar. (And the king ordained Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, over the army in place of Joab; and he made Zadok the priest in place of Abiathar.) 36 Also the king sent, and called (for) Shimei, and said to him, Build to thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell thou there (Build a house for thyself in Jerusalem, and live thou in it), and thou shalt not go out from thence hither and thither; 37 for in whatever day thou goest out, and passest [over] the strand of Kidron, know thou thee worthy to be slain; thy blood shall be on thine head. (for in whatever day thou goest out, and passest over the Kidron Stream/and passest over the Kidron Gorge, know thou that thou shalt be killed; thy blood shall be upon thy own head.) 38 And Shimei said to the king, The word of the king is good; as my lord the king spake, so thy servant shall do. And so Shimei dwelled in Jerusalem many days. 39 But it was done after three years, that the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maachah, king of Gath; and it was told to Shimei, that his servants had gone into Gath. 40 And Shimei rose up, and saddled his ass (and saddled up his donkey), and went to Achish, into Gath, to seek his servants; and he brought them (back) again from Gath. 41 And it was told to king Solomon, that Shimei had gone to Gath from Jerusalem, and had come (back) again. 42 And Solomon sent, and called him, and said to him, Whether I witnessed not to thee by the Lord, and before-said to thee, In whatever day thou shalt go out hither and thither, know thou that thou shalt die; and thou answeredest to me, The word is good, which I heard? (And Solomon sent, and called for him, and said to him, Did I not make thee swear by the Lord? and did I not say to thee, On whatever day that thou shalt go out here and there, know thou that thou shalt die? and didest thou not answer to me, The word, which I heard, is good?) 43 Why therefore keptest thou not the oath of the Lord, and the commandment which I commanded to thee? 44 And the king said to Shimei, Thou knowest all the evil, of which thine heart is guilty to thee, which evil thou didest to [David] my father; the Lord hath yielded thy malice into thine head. (And the king said to Shimei, Thou knowest all the evil which thy heart is guilty of, which evil thou didest to my father David; and now the Lord shall yield thy malice onto thy own head.) 45 And king Solomon shall be blessed; and the throne of David shall be stable before the Lord till into without end. 46 Therefore the king commanded to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he assailed Shimei, and smote him, and he was dead. Therefore the realm was confirmed into the hands of Solomon; (And so the king commanded to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he assailed Shimei, and struck him down there, and he died. And so the kingdom was firmly established in Solomon’s hands;)

1 राजा 2Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) राजा दाऊदको मृत्यु 2 दाऊदको मर्ने समय आइसकेको थियो। यसकारण दाऊदले सुलेमानसँग कुरा कानी गरे अनि उनलाई भने, 2 “सबै मानिस जस्तैं म मर्न आँटेको छु। तर तँ शक्तिशाली हुँदै जादैछस् अनि महान् व्यक्ति बनिंदैछस। 3 अब परमप्रभु तिम्रो परमेश्वरको सबै आदेशहरू सावधानीका साथ पालन गर। उहाँका सबै नियम, आदेश, निर्णय, सल्लाह र करार सावधानीका साथ पालन गर। मोशाको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएका प्रत्येक कुराको पालन गर। यदि तैंले यसो गरिस् भने तब आफूले गरेको प्रत्येक काममा अनि गएको प्रत्येक ठाउँमा सफल हुनेछस्। 4 यदि तैंले परमेश्वरको आज्ञा पालन गरिस्, भने परमेश्वरले मलाई दिनुभएको वचन पूरा गर्नुहुनेछ परमेश्वरले भन्नु भएकोछ, ‘यदि तेरा छोराहरूले मेरो आदेश अनुसार हार्दिक श्रद्धाका नियमहरू पालन गरे भने तब तेरो परिवारबाट एक जना मानिस सदा नै इस्राएलको राजा हुनेछ।’” 5 दाऊदले यो पनि भने, “तँलाई थाहै छ, सरूयाहको छोरा योआबले मसित के गरेका थिए? उसले इस्राएलीहरूको सेनाका दुइजना सेनापतिहरू, नेराको छोरा अबनेर अनि येतेरको छोरा अमासालाई मारेको थिए। याद गर, उनले तिनीहरूलाई शान्तिको समयमा मारेका थिए। यी मानिसहरूको रगतले उसको तरवारको बेंड पटुका र खुट्टाको जुत्ता रंगिएको थियो। मैले उसलाई दण्ड दिनु पर्थो। 6 तर अब राजा तँ छस्। यसकारण तैंले उसलाई आफूले सोचेर बुद्धिमत्तापूर्ण दण्ड दिनुपर्छ। तर तैंले उसलाई मार्छु नै भनेर निश्चय गर्नुपर्छ। उसलाई बूढेसकालमा शान्तिका साथ मर्ने मौका नदिनु। 7 “गिलादको बर्जिल्लैका सन्ततिप्रति दयालु हुनु। तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो मित्र सम्झिनु अनि आफ्नो मेजमा भोजन गराउनु। तेरो दाजु अब्शालोमबाट भागी हिँड्दा तिनीहरूले मलाई सहायता गरेका थिए। 8 “अनि याद गर, गेरका छोरा शिमी अझै यहीं छन्। उनी बहूरीमको बिन्यामीन कुल समूह हुन्। याद गर, म महनेमतिर भागेको दिन उनले मेरो विरूद्धमा नराम्रो कुरा भनेका थिए। तब उनी मसित भेट गर्न यर्दन नदीमा आएका थिए। तब मैले उनलाई वचन दिएको थिएँ। मैले परमेश्वर सामु प्रतिज्ञा गरेको थिएँ म शिमीलाई मार्दिन। 9 अब उनलाई दण्ड नदिई न छोड। तिमी बुद्धिमान मानिस हौ, उनीसित के गर्नुपर्छ तिमी राम्ररी जान्दछौ। तर उनलाई बूढेसकालमा शान्तिका साथ मर्न नदेऊ।” 10 तब दाऊदको चोला उठ्यो। उनलाई दाऊदशहरमा गाडीयो। 11 दाऊदले इस्राएलमा 40 बर्ष शासन चलाए। उनले हेब्रोनमा सात बर्ष अनि यरूशलेममा 33 बर्ष शासन गरे। सुलेमानद्वारा राज्यको शासन-नियन्त्रण 12 अब सुलेमान राजा भए। आफ्ना पिता दाऊदको सिंहासनमा उनी विराजमान भए अनि आफ्नो राज्यको शासन पूर्ण नियन्त्रणका साथ गर्न थाले। 13 तब हग्गीतको छोरा अदोनियाह सुलेमानकी आमा बतशेबा समक्ष गए। बतशेबाले उनलाई सोधिन्, “के तिमी शान्त मन लिएर आएका हौ?” अदोनियाहले जवाफ दिए, “ज्यू, यो शान्तिपूर्ण भेट नै हो। 14 मैले तपाईंलाई केही भन्नु छ।” बतशेबाले, “भन भनिन्।” 15 अदोनियाहले भने, “तपाईंलाई सम्झना छ कुनै समय राज्य मेरो थियो। इस्राएलका सबै जनगण मलाई राजा ठान्दै थिए। तर स्थिति बदलियो। अहिले मेरो भाइ राजा भएको छ परमेश्वरले उसलाई राजाको रूपमा चुन्नुभयो। 16 यसर्थ अहिले म तपाईंसँग एक कुरा सोध्न चाहन्छु। कृपया मलाई हुँदैन नभन्नु होला।” बतशेबाले भनिन्, “तिमी के चाहन्छौ?” 17 अदोनियाहले भने, “मलाई थाहा छ तपाईंले भनेको कुनै पनि कुरा राजा सुलेमान मान्नु हुन्छ। कृपया शूनम्मी युवती अबीशगसँग विवाह गर्ने अनुमति मलाई उनीबाट दिलाई दिनुहोस्।” 18 तब बतशेबाले भनिन्, “ठीक छ, म तिम्रो लागि राजासँग कुरा गर्नेछु।” 19 यसकारण बतशेबा राजा सुलेमानसँग कुराकानी गर्न गइन्। राजा सुलेमानले उनलाई देखे अनि उनीसँग कुरा गर्न उभिए। तब उनले निहुरिएर ढोग भेट गरे अनि सिंहासनमा बसे। उनले चाकरहरूलाई आमाका लागि अर्को सिंहासन ल्याउन भने। तब तिनी उनको दाहिने पट्टि बसिन्। 20 बतशेवाले उनलाई भनिन्, “म तँलाई एउटा सानो कुराका भन्छु। कृपया मलाई हुदैन नभन्नु।” राजाले भने, “आमा, तपाईंले चाहेको कुनै पनि कुरा माग्न सक्नु हुनेछ। म तपाईंलाई नाइनास्ति गर्ने छैन।” 21 यसर्थ बतशेबाले भनिन्, “शूनम्मी अबीशगसँग विवाह गर्ने अनुमति तेरो दाजु अदोनियाहलाई दे।” 22 राजा सुलेमानले आफ्नी आमालाई जवाफ दिए, “तपाईं किन मसित अबीशगलाई दिन माग्नु हुँदैछ? यो मलाई उसलाई राज्य देऊ भनी माग्नु जस्तैं नै हो। जे भए ता पनि उनी मेरो ठूला दाज्यू हुन्। पूजाहारी एबीयातार र सरूथाहका छोरो योआबले उनलाई सघाउने छन्!” 23 तब राजा सुलेमानले परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ गरे। उसले भने, “यदि मैले यसका लागि अदोनियाहलाई दण्ड दिइन भने परमेश्वरसित मलाई नराम्रो गर्नुहोस् भनी प्रार्थना गर्नेछु अनि उसले आफ्नो जीवनद्वारा मूल्य चुकाउनु पर्नेछ। 24 परमप्रभुले मलाई इस्राएलको राजा बनाउनुभयो। उहाँले मलाई मेरा पिता दाऊदको राज-सिंहासन दिनुभएकोछ परमेश्वरले आफ्नो वचन पूरा गर्नुभयो अनि राज्य म र मेरो परिवारलाई दिनुभयो। जसरी साँच्चैनै परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ भने अदोनिया आजनै मर्नेछ।” 25 राजा सुलेमानले यहोदाका छोरा बनायाहलाई आदेश दिए। बनायाह बाहिर निस्किए अनि अदोनियाहलाई मारे। 26 तब राजा सुलेमानले पूजाहारी एबीयातारलाई भने, “मैले तँलाई मार्नु पर्थ्यो, तर म तँलाई आफ्नो घर अनातोत फर्किने मौका दिन्छु। म तँलाई अहिले मार्ने छैन् किनभने तैंले परमप्रभु हाम्रा मालिकको पवित्र सन्दूक मेरो पिताको राजा दाऊदको निम्ति बोकेको थिइस् अनि मेरो पिताको सबै कष्ट विभाजन गरेको थिइस्।” 27 सुलेमानले एबीयातारलाई परमेश्वरको पूजाहारीको रूपमा सेवा गर्न नपाउने कुरा बताए। यो यसरी नै भयो जसरी परमेश्वरले बताउनु भएको थियो। परमेश्वरले पूजाहारी एली अनि उनको परिवारको विषयमा शीलोमा बताउनु भएको थियो। एबीयातार एली परिवारका थिए। 28 योआबले यस विषयमा सुने अनि डराए। उनले अदोनियाहको समर्थन गरेका थिए, तर अब्शालोमले गरेनन्। योआब परमेश्वरको पालतिर दगुरे अनि वेदीको सींग समात्न पुगे। 29 कसैले राजा सुलेमानलाई बताए योआब परमेश्वरको पालको वेदीमा छ। यस कारण सुलेमानले यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई गएर उसलाई मार्ने आदेश दिए। 30 बनायाह परमेश्वरको पालमा गए अनि योआबलाई भने, “राजाको आदेश छ, ‘बाहिर आइज!’” तर योआबले जवाफ दिए, “होइन, म यहीं नै मर्छु।” यसकारण बनायाह फर्केर राजा कहाँ आए अनि उनलाई योआबले भनेको कुरा बताए। 31 तब राजाले बनायाहलाई आदेश दिए, “ऊ जसो भन्छ त्यसै गर! उसलाई त्यहीं मार अनि गाडिदे। तब मेरो परिवार अनि म योआबको दोषबाट मुक्त हुनेछौं। योआबले निर्दोष मानिसहरूको हत्या गरेको हुनाले यो दोष सृष्टि भएको थियो। 32 योआबले ऊ भन्दा धेरै निर्दोष मानिसहरूको हत्या गर्यो। तिनीहरू नेरका छोरा अबनेर अनि येतेरका छोरा अमासा थिए। अबनेर इस्राएलको सेनाका सेनापति थिए अनि अमासा यहूदाको सेनाका सेनापति थिए। मेरो पिता दाऊद यहाँ थिएनन् तिनीहरू योआबद्वारा मारिएको हो भनि यसकारण परमप्रभुले योआबलाई उसले मारेका मानिसहरूको दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ। 33 तिनीहरूको मृत्युका लागि ऊ अपराधी हुनेछ अनि उसको परिवार पनि सदाका लागि दोषी हुनेछ। तर परमेश्वरले दाऊद, उनका सन्तानहरू, उनको राज परिवार र उनको राज्यलाई सदा नै शान्ति दिनु हुनेछ।” 34 यसै कारण यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहले योआबलाई मारे। योआबलाई मरुभूमिमा उनको घरको नजिकै नै गाडीयो। 35 तब सुलेमानले यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई योआबको ठाउँमा सेनाको सेनापति बनाए। सुलेमानले एबीयातारको ठाउँमा सादोकलाई नयाँ पूजाहारीको पदमा नियुक्त पनि गरे। 36 त्यसपछि राजाले शिमीलाई बोलाए। राजाले उनलाई भने, “यहाँ यरूशलेममा आफ्नोलागि एउटा घर बनाऊ। त्यस घरमा बस अनि शहर नछोड। 37 यदि तिमी शहर छोडछौ अनि किद्रोनको खोल्सा पारी जान्छौ भने तिमीलाई मारिने छ अनि यो नै तिम्रो आफ्नो दोष हुनेछ।” 38 यसकारण शिमीले जवाफ दिए, “महाराज, ठीकै छ। म तपाईंको आदेश पालन गर्नेछु।” यस कारण शिमी लामो अवधिसम्म यरूशलेममा बसे। 39 तर तीन बर्षपछि शिमीका दुइ जना दासहरू भागे। तिनीहरू गातका राजा, माकाका छोरा आकीश कहाँ गए। शिमीले सुने, उनका दासहरू गातमा छन्। 40 यसर्थ शिमीले आफ्नो जिन खच्चडमाथि राखे अनि गातमा राजा आकी शसमक्ष आफ्ना दासहरू लिन गएका थिए। उनले तिनीहरूलाई त्यहाँ भेटे अनि घर फर्काए। 41 तर कसैले सुलेमानलाई सुनायो, शिमी यरूशलेमबाट गात गए अनि फर्केर आए। 42 यस कारण सुलेमानले उनलाई बोलाए। सुलेमानले भने, “मैले परमेश्वरको नाउँमा तँ सित शपथ गराएको यदि तैंले यरूशलेम छाडिस भने तँ मर्ने छस्। मैले चेताउनी दिएको थिएँ, यदि तँ कत्तै गइस् भने तँ मारिने छस् अनि त्यो तेरो आफ्नै दोष हुनेछ जे भनेको थिंए त्यसमा तँ समहत भइस् तैंले भनिस् तैंले मेरो आज्ञा पालन गर्नेछु। 43 परमप्रभुको नाउँमा तैंले गरेको प्रतिज्ञा किन उलंघन गरिस्? किन तैंले मेरो आज्ञा पालन गरिनस्? 44 तँलाई थाहा छ तैंले मेरा पिताको विरूद्धमा धेरै भूल कामहरू गरेको थिइस्। अब ती भूल कामका लागि परमेश्वरले तँलाई दण्ड दिनु हुनेछ। 45 तर परमेश्वरले मलाई आशीर्वाद दिनु हुनेछ। उहाँले दाऊदको राज्यलाई सधैँ नै सुरक्षित राख्ननु हुनेछ।” 46 तब राजा सुलेमानले यहोयादको छोरा बनायाहलाई शिमीको हत्या गर्ने हुकूम दिए अनि उनले त्यसै पालन गरे। अब राज्यमा सुलेमानको पूर्ण नियन्त्रण थियो।
