大卫给所罗门的遗训

2 大卫的死期近了，就嘱咐他的儿子所罗门说： 2 “我现在要走世人必走的路了，你当坚强作大丈夫， 3 谨守耶和华你　神所吩咐的，遵行他的道，按摩西律法所写的，谨守他的律例、诫命、典章和法度；这样，无论你作甚么，无论你往哪里去，都可以亨通。 4 这样，耶和华必坚立他所说有关我的话，说：‘如果你的子孙谨慎自己所行的，一心一意、诚诚实实行在我面前，就不断有人坐以色列的王位了。’ 5 你也要知道洗鲁雅的儿子约押对我所行的，就是对以色列的两个元帅：尼珥的儿子押尼珥和益帖的儿子亚玛撒所行的。他杀了他们，在和平的时候流他们的血，像作战时一样，把战争的血染在他腰间所束的带子上和脚上所穿的鞋子上。 6 所以你要凭你的智慧而行，不要让他白发到老，平平安安下到阴间。 7 但是你要恩待基列人巴西莱的众子，使他们与你同席吃饭，因为我逃避你哥哥押沙龙的时候，他们拿食物来迎接我。 8 与你在一起的有巴户琳的便雅悯人基拉的儿子示每；我往玛哈念去的那天，他用狠毒的咒语咒骂我。后来他下到约旦河来迎接我的时候，我就指着耶和华向他起誓，说：‘我必不用刀杀死你。’ 9 现在，你不要以他为无罪，你是个聪明人，你必知道该怎样待他，使他白发苍苍流血下到阴间。”

大卫逝世

10 大卫与他的列祖同睡，葬在大卫城里。 11 大卫作以色列王四十年：在希伯仑作王七年；在耶路撒冷作王三十三年。 12 于是所罗门坐在他父亲的王位上，他的国非常稳固。

亚多尼雅求娶亚比煞为妻

13 哈及的儿子亚多尼雅去见所罗门的母亲拔示巴，拔示巴问他：“你来是为和平吗？”他回答：“是为和平来的。” 14 他又说：“我有话对你说。”拔示巴说：“你说吧！” 15 亚多尼雅说：“你知道这国位原是我的，以色列众人都希望我作王；不料国位反归了我的弟弟，因为他得着国位是出于耶和华。 16 现在我有一事请求你，请你不要拒绝。”拔示巴对他说：“你说吧！” 17 他说：“求你向所罗门王说，请他把书念的女子亚比煞赐给我作妻子，因为他必不会拒绝你。” 18 拔示巴说：“好吧，我必为你向王请求。”

亚多尼雅自取灭亡

19 于是拔示巴去见所罗门王，为亚多尼雅的事向他请求。王起来迎接她，向她下拜，然后坐在自己的王座上，又吩咐人为王的母亲摆设一个座位；她就坐在王的右边。 20 拔示巴说：“我有一件小事求你，请不要拒绝我。”王对她说：“母亲，你说吧，我必不会拒绝你。” 21 拔示巴说：“请把书念的女子亚比煞赐给你哥哥亚多尼雅作妻子。” 22 所罗门王回答他母亲，说：“你为甚么要为亚多尼雅求书念的女子亚比煞呢？你也可以为他求这个国位，因为他是我的哥哥，又有亚比亚他祭司和洗鲁雅的儿子约押拥护他。” 23 于是所罗门王指着耶和华起誓，说：“如果亚多尼雅不因说了这话而送命，愿　神惩罚我，并且加倍惩罚我。 24 现在，我指着永活的耶和华─那位坚立了我，使我坐在我父亲大卫的王位上，又照他所应许，为我建立家室的─起誓，今天亚多尼雅必被处死！” 25 于是，所罗门王差派耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅去击杀亚多尼雅，他就死了。

亚比亚他被革职

26 王对亚比亚他祭司说：“你回亚拿突自己的田地去吧！你本来是该死的，但我今天不杀死你，因为你在我父亲大卫面前抬过主耶和华的约柜，又与我父亲同受一切苦难。” 27 所罗门就罢免了亚比亚他，不准他作耶和华的祭司，这样就应验了耶和华在示罗所说有关以利家的话。

约押被处死

28 约押虽然没有拥护过押沙龙，但曾拥护亚多尼雅；这消息传到约押那里，他就逃到耶和华的帐幕里去，抓紧祭坛的角。 29 有人告诉所罗门王约押逃到耶和华的帐幕里去了，现在就在祭坛的旁边。于是所罗门差派耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅去说：“你去把他杀死。” 30 比拿雅来到耶和华的帐幕那里，对约押说：“王这样吩咐说：‘你出来！’”约押说：“我不出去！我要死在这里。”于是比拿雅回复王说：“约押这样说，他这样回答我。” 31 王对比拿雅说：“你照着约押的话行吧！杀死他，把他埋葬，好叫约押所流无辜人的血，从我和我父的家除去。 32 耶和华必使约押流无辜人的血的罪归到他自己头上，因为他击杀了两个比他又公义又良善的人，就是用刀杀了以色列的元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥，和犹大的元帅益帖的儿子亚玛撒，这事我的父亲大卫一点都不知道。 33 愿流这二人的血的罪归到约押和他后裔的头上，直到永远；但大卫和他的后裔，他的家和他的国却要从耶和华那里得享平安，直到永远。” 34 于是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅上去击杀他，把他杀死，葬在旷野约押自己的家中。 35 王任命耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅取代约押统领军队；又任命撒督祭司取代亚比亚他的职位。

示每违命与死亡

36 王派人去把示每召来，对他说：“你要为自己在耶路撒冷建造一座房屋，住在那里，不可从那里出来到任何别的地方去。 37 你必须知道，你哪一天出来，越过汲沦溪，你哪一天就要死。你流人血的罪必归到你自己的头上。” 38 示每对王说：“这话很好，我主我王怎么说，你仆人就照着行。”于是示每在耶路撒冷住了很久。

39 三年以后，示每的两个仆人逃到迦特王玛迦的儿子亚吉那里。有人告诉示每说：“你的仆人在迦特。” 40 于是示每起来，预备好自己的骡子，就往迦特亚吉王那里去寻找他的仆人。示每去了，又把他的仆人从迦特带回来。 41 有人告诉所罗门示每离开耶路撒冷往迦特去，又回来了。 42 王就派人把示每召来，对他说：“我不是叫你指着耶和华起誓，并且警告你：‘你必须知道，你哪一天出去到任何别的地方，你哪一天就要死’吗？你也对我说过：‘这话很好，我必听从。’ 43 现在你为甚么不遵守你向耶和华所起的誓，和我吩咐你的命令呢？” 44 王又对示每说：“你自己知道你心里的一切恶事，就是你向我父亲大卫所行的；现在耶和华要把你的罪归到你的头上。 45 所罗门王却要蒙福，大卫的王位必在耶和华眼前得坚立，直到永远。” 46 于是王命令耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，比拿雅就出去击杀示每，示每就死了。这样，所罗门就巩固了他的国。

大卫对所罗门的叮嘱

2 大卫临终时，叮嘱他儿子所罗门说： 2 “我要走世人都必走的那条路了。你要刚强，做大丈夫。 3 你要遵从你的上帝耶和华的话，遵行祂的道，照摩西的律法遵守上帝的律例、诫命、典章和法度。这样，你无论做什么、去哪里都必亨通， 4 耶和华必履行给我的应许，祂对我说，‘如果你的子孙谨慎自守，忠心地事奉我，你的王朝必世代相传。’

5 “你知道洗鲁雅的儿子约押怎样对我，他杀了以色列的两名元帅——尼珥的儿子押尼珥和益帖的儿子亚玛撒。他在太平的时候把他们当作战场的敌手杀害，腰带和鞋子上沾满了他们的血。 6 你要用智慧处置他，不可让他安享天年。

7 “你要恩待基列人巴西莱的众子，让他们成为你的座上宾，因为我逃避你哥哥押沙龙的时候，他们曾接待我。

8 “别放过巴户琳的便雅悯人基拉的儿子示每。我逃亡到玛哈念的时候，他曾用恶毒的话咒骂我。后来他到约旦河迎接我的时候，我曾凭耶和华起誓不杀他。 9 但你不要放过他。你是个聪明人，应该知道怎样处置他。你要让他白头落地，不得善终。”

10 大卫与祖先同眠后，葬在大卫城。 11 他做以色列王四十年，在希伯仑做王七年，在耶路撒冷做王三十三年。 12 所罗门继承大卫的王位，国势强盛。

所罗门巩固王位

13 一天，哈姬的儿子亚多尼雅来见所罗门的母亲拔示芭，拔示芭问他：“你是为平安而来吗？”亚多尼雅说：“是为平安而来。” 14 又说：“我有事禀告。”拔示芭说：“你说吧。” 15 亚多尼雅说：“你知道，王位本该是我的，整个以色列原指望我做王。不料，王位归了我兄弟，因为这是上帝的旨意。 16 现在我有一个请求，请你不要推辞。”拔示芭说：“你说吧。” 17 他说：“请你求所罗门王将那书念女子雅比莎赐我为妻，他不会拒绝你。” 18 拔示芭说：“好吧，我会为你向王请求。”

19 拔示芭就为亚多尼雅的事去见所罗门王，王离座迎接，向她下拜，然后坐回位上，命人在自己右边为她摆设座位。 20 拔示芭说：“我有一件小事求你，请你不要推辞。”王说：“母亲请说，我必不推辞。” 21 拔示芭说：“请将书念女子雅比莎赐给你哥哥亚多尼雅为妻。”

22 所罗门王回答说：“为何只为亚多尼雅求书念女子雅比莎呢？你也为他求整个国家吧！他是我哥哥，又有亚比亚他祭司和洗鲁雅的儿子约押支持。” 23 所罗门王就凭耶和华起誓说：“亚多尼雅若不为他这样的要求付出性命，愿上帝重重地惩罚我。 24 耶和华让我稳稳地坐在父亲大卫的宝座上，照祂的应许为我建立了王朝，我凭永活的耶和华起誓，亚多尼雅今天必被处死。” 25 于是，所罗门王命令耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅杀死亚多尼雅。

26 王对亚比亚他祭司说：“你回亚拿突的老家去吧。你本是该死的，但我念你在我父大卫面前抬过主耶和华的约柜，曾经与我父亲患难与共，才饶你一命。” 27 所罗门就罢免了亚比亚他的职位，不许他再做耶和华的祭司。这事应验了耶和华在示罗所说的有关以利家的预言。

28 约押虽然没有支持押沙龙，但却支持了亚多尼雅。他听见风声，就逃进圣幕，抓住祭坛的角。 29 有人把这消息告诉所罗门王，说约押已经逃进圣幕，躲在祭坛旁边。所罗门就派耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅去杀他。 30 比拿雅来到耶和华的圣幕，对约押说：“王吩咐你出来！”约押却回答说：“不，我要死在这里。”比拿雅回去禀告王。

31 王说：“你就照他的话成全他吧，你要埋葬他，把他滥杀无辜的罪从我和我父亲家清除。 32 耶和华要让他血债血还。因为他背着我父亲杀了两名比他良善正直的人，即尼珥的儿子以色列元帅押尼珥和益帖的儿子犹大元帅亚玛撒。 33 所以，杀这二人的血债必永远归到约押和他后代身上。愿耶和华的平安永远伴随大卫和他的后代、他的家、他的国。” 34 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅就去把约押杀死，葬在旷野约押自己的墓地。 35 王委派耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅替代约押为元帅，命撒督祭司代替亚比亚他。

36 王又派人将示每召来，对他说：“你要在耶路撒冷建屋居住，不得出城去其他地方。 37 你哪天越过汲沦溪，哪天必死无疑，你的死是咎由自取。” 38 示每说：“好，仆人必照我主我王说的做。”示每就一直住在耶路撒冷。 39 过了三年，示每的两个仆人逃到迦特王玛迦的儿子亚吉那里。示每知道后， 40 就备上驴到迦特的亚吉那里找他的仆人，并把他们带了回来。

41 所罗门听说示每从耶路撒冷前往迦特，已经返回， 42 就派人召来示每，问道：“我不是叫你凭耶和华起誓不离开耶路撒冷吗？我警告过你，你哪天离开这里，哪天必死无疑。当时你也同意。 43 现在你为何不守你向耶和华起的誓，不遵行我的命令？” 44 王又说：“你以前如何恶待我父大卫，你自己心里明白，现在耶和华要追究你的罪行了。 45 但所罗门王必蒙祝福，大卫的王位在耶和华面前必永远稳固。”

46 于是，王命令耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅杀死示每。这样所罗门的江山得以稳固。

New English Translation

David’s Final Words to Solomon

2 When David was close to death,[a] he told[b] Solomon his son: 2 “I am about to die.[c] Be strong and become a man! 3 Do the job the Lord your God has assigned you[d] by following his instructions[e] and obeying[f] his rules, commandments, regulations, and laws as written in the law of Moses. Then you will succeed in all you do and seek to accomplish,[g] 4 and the Lord will fulfill his promise to me,[h] ‘If your descendants watch their step[i] and live faithfully in my presence[j] with all their heart and being,[k] then,’ he promised,[l] ‘you will not fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’[m]

5 “You know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—how he murdered two commanders of the Israelite armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether.[n] During peacetime he struck them down as if in battle;[o] when he shed their blood, he stained the belt on his waist and the sandals on his feet.[p] 6 Do to him what you think is appropriate,[q] but don’t let him live long and die a peaceful death.[r]

7 “Treat fairly[s] the sons of Barzillai of Gilead and provide for their needs,[t] because they helped me[u] when I had to flee from your brother Absalom.

8 “Note well, you still have to contend with Shimei son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim,[v] who tried to call down upon me a horrible judgment when I went to Mahanaim.[w] He came down and met me at the Jordan, and I solemnly promised[x] him by the Lord, ‘I will not strike you down[y] with the sword.’ 9 But now[z] don’t treat him as if he were innocent. You are a wise man and you know how to handle him;[aa] make sure he has a bloody death.”[ab]

10 Then David passed away[ac] and was buried in the City of David.[ad] 11 David reigned over Israel forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years, and in Jerusalem thirty-three years.

Solomon Secures the Throne

12 Solomon sat on his father David’s throne, and his royal authority[ae] was firmly solidified.

13 Haggith’s son Adonijah visited Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. She asked, “Do you come in peace?” He answered, “Yes.”[af] 14 He added,[ag] “I have something to say to you.” She replied, “Speak.” 15 He said, “You know that the kingdom[ah] was mine and all Israel considered me king.[ai] But then the kingdom was given to my brother, for the Lord decided it should be his.[aj] 16 Now I’d like to ask you for just one thing. Please don’t refuse me.”[ak] She said, “Go ahead and ask.”[al] 17 He said, “Please ask King Solomon if he would give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife, for he won’t refuse you.”[am] 18 Bathsheba replied, “That’s fine;[an] I’ll speak to the king on your behalf.”

19 So Bathsheba visited King Solomon to speak to him on Adonijah’s behalf. The king got up to greet[ao] her, bowed to her, and then sat on his throne. He ordered a throne to be brought for the king’s mother,[ap] and she sat at his right hand. 20 She said, “I would like to ask you for just one small favor.[aq] Please don’t refuse me.”[ar] He said,[as] “Go ahead and ask, my mother, for I would not refuse you.” 21 She said, “Allow Abishag the Shunammite to be given to your brother Adonijah as a wife.” 22 King Solomon answered his mother, “Why just request Abishag the Shunammite for him?[at] Since he is my older brother, you should also request the kingdom for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”

23 King Solomon then swore an oath by the Lord, “May God judge me severely,[au] if Adonijah does not pay for this request with his life![av] 24 Now, as certainly as the Lord lives (he who made me secure, allowed me to sit on my father David’s throne, and established a dynasty[aw] for me as he promised), Adonijah will be executed today!” 25 King Solomon then sent[ax] Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he killed Adonijah.[ay]

26 The king then told Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your property[az] in Anathoth. You deserve to die,[ba] but today I will not kill you because you did carry the ark of the Sovereign Lord before my father David and you suffered with my father through all his difficult times.”[bb] 27 Solomon removed Abiathar from being a priest for the Lord, fulfilling the Lord’s message that he had pronounced against the family of Eli in Shiloh.

28 When the news reached Joab (for Joab had supported[bc] Adonijah, although he had not supported Absalom), he[bd] ran to the tent of the Lord and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.[be] 29 When King Solomon heard[bf] that Joab had run to the tent of the Lord and was right there beside the altar, he ordered Benaiah son of Jehoiada,[bg] “Go, strike him down.” 30 When Benaiah arrived at the tent of the Lord, he said to him, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” But he replied, “No, I will die here!” So Benaiah sent word to the king and reported Joab’s reply.[bh] 31 The king told him, “Do as he said! Strike him down and bury him. Take away from me and from my father’s family[bi] the guilt of Joab’s murderous, bloody deeds.[bj] 32 May the Lord punish him for the blood he shed;[bk] behind my father David’s back he struck down and murdered with the sword two men who were more innocent and morally upright than he[bl]—Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army. 33 May Joab and his descendants be perpetually guilty of their shed blood, but may the Lord give perpetual peace to David, his descendants, his family,[bm] and his dynasty.”[bn] 34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up and executed Joab;[bo] he was buried at his home in the wilderness. 35 The king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada to take his place at the head of[bp] the army, and the king appointed Zadok the priest to take Abiathar’s place.[bq]

36 Next the king summoned[br] Shimei and told him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but you may not leave there to go anywhere.[bs] 37 If you ever do leave and cross the Kidron Valley, know for sure that you will certainly die. You will be responsible for your own death.”[bt] 38 Shimei said to the king, “My master the king’s proposal is acceptable.[bu] Your servant will do as you say.”[bv] So Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.[bw]

39 Three years later two of Shimei’s servants ran away to King Achish son of Maacah of Gath. Shimei was told, “Look, your servants are in Gath.” 40 So Shimei got up, saddled his donkey, and went to Achish at Gath to find his servants; Shimei went and brought back his servants from Gath. 41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had then returned, 42 the king summoned[bx] Shimei and said to him, “You will recall[by] that I made you take an oath by the Lord, and I solemnly warned you, ‘If you ever leave and go anywhere,[bz] know for sure that you will certainly die.’ You said to me, ‘The proposal is acceptable; I agree to it.’[ca] 43 Why then have you broken the oath you made before the Lord and disobeyed the order I gave you?”[cb] 44 Then the king said to Shimei, “You are well aware of the way you mistreated my father David.[cc] The Lord will punish you for what you did.[cd] 45 But King Solomon will be empowered,[ce] and David’s dynasty[cf] will endure permanently before the Lord.” 46 The king then gave the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada who went and executed Shimei.[cg]

So Solomon took firm control of the kingdom.[ch]
