1As the time drew near for David to die, he charged his son Solomon,
1大卫 的死期临近了，就嘱咐他儿子 所罗门 说：
2“I am about to go the way of all the earth. So be strong and prove yourself a man.
2「我现在要走世人必走的路。所以，你当刚强，作大丈夫，
3And keep the charge of the LORD your God to walk in His ways and to keep His statutes, commandments, ordinances, and decrees, as is written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you turn,
3遵守耶和华—你 神所吩咐的，照着 摩西 律法上所写的行主的道，谨守他的律例、诫命、典章、法度。这样，你无论做什么事，不拘往何处去，尽都亨通。
4and so that the LORD may fulfill His promise to me: ‘If your descendants take heed to walk faithfully before Me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
4耶和华必成就向我所应许的话说：『你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为，尽心尽意诚诚实实地行在我面前，就不断人坐 以色列 的国位。』
5Moreover, you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether, the two commanders of the armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to avenge the blood of war. He stained with the blood of war the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet.
5你知道 洗鲁雅 的儿子 约押 向我所行的，就是杀了 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 。他在太平之时流这二人的血，如在争战之时一样，将这血染了腰间束的带和脚上穿的鞋。
6So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace.
6所以你要照你的智慧行，不容他白头安然下阴间。
7But show loving devotion to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, because they stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.
7你当恩待 基列 人 巴西莱 的众子，使他们常与你同席吃饭；因为我躲避你哥哥 押沙龙 的时候，他们 拿食物 来迎接我。
8Keep an eye on Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who is with you. He called down bitter curses against me on the day I went to Mahanaim, but when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD: ‘I will never put you to the sword.’
8在你这里有 巴户琳 的 便雅悯 人， 基拉 的儿子 示每 ；我往 玛哈念 去的那日，他用狠毒的言语咒骂我，后来却下 约旦河 迎接我，我就指着耶和华向他起誓说：『我必不用刀杀你。』
9Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man. You know what you ought to do to him to bring his gray head down to Sheol in blood.”
9现在你不要以他为无罪。你是聪明人，必知道怎样待他，使他白头见杀，流血下到阴间。」
10Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.
10大卫 与他列祖同睡，葬在 大卫城 。
11The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
11大卫 作 以色列 王四十年：在 希伯 作王七年，在 耶路撒冷 作王三十三年。
12So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was firmly established.
12所罗门 坐他父亲 大卫 的位，他的国甚是坚固。
13Now Adonijah son of Haggith went to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she asked, “Do you come in peace?” “Yes, in peace,” he replied.
13哈及 的儿子 亚多尼雅 去见 所罗门 的母亲 拔示巴 ， 拔示巴 问他说：「你来是为平安吗？」回答说：「是为平安」；
14Then he said, “I have something to tell you.” “Say it,” she answered.
14又说：「我有话对你说。」 拔示巴 说：「你说吧。」
15“You know that the kingship was mine,” he said. “All Israel expected that I should reign, but the kingship has turned to my brother, for it has come to him from the LORD.
15亚多尼雅 说：「你知道国原是归我的， 以色列 众人也都仰望我作王，不料，国反归了我兄弟，因他得国是出乎耶和华。
16So now I have just one request of you; do not deny me.” “State your request,” she told him.
16现在我有一件事求你，望你不要推辞。」 拔示巴 说：「你说吧。」
17Adonijah replied, “Please speak to King Solomon, since he will not turn you down. Let him give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
17他说：「求你请 所罗门 王将 书念 的女子 亚比煞 赐我为妻，因他必不推辞你。」
18“Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will speak to the king for you.”
18拔示巴 说：「好，我必为你对王提说。」
19So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The king stood up to greet her, bowed to her, and sat down on his throne. Then the king had a throne brought for his mother, who sat down at his right hand.
19于是， 拔示巴 去见 所罗门 王，要为 亚多尼雅 提说；王起来迎接，向她下拜，就坐在位上，吩咐人为王母设一座位，她便坐在王的右边。
20“I have just one small request of you,” she said. “Do not deny me.” “Make your request, my mother,” the king replied, “for I will not deny you.”
20拔示巴 说：「我有一件小事求你，望你不要推辞。」王说：「请母亲说，我必不推辞。」
21So Bathsheba said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”
21拔示巴 说：「求你将 书念 的女子 亚比煞 赐给你哥哥 亚多尼雅 为妻。」
22King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Since he is my older brother, you might as well request the kingdom for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”
22所罗门 王对他母亲说：「为何单替他求 书念 的女子 亚比煞 呢？也可以为他求国吧！他是我的哥哥，他有祭司 亚比亚他 和 洗鲁雅 的儿子 约押 为辅佐 。」
23Then King Solomon swore by the LORD: “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if Adonijah has not made this request at the expense of his life.
23所罗门 王就指着耶和华起誓说：「 亚多尼雅 这话是自己送命，不然，愿 神重重地降罚与我。
24And now, as surely as the LORD lives—the One who established me, who set me on the throne of my father David, and who founded for me a dynasty as He promised—surely Adonijah shall be put to death today!”
24耶和华坚立我，使我坐在父亲 大卫 的位上，照着所应许的话为我建立家室；现在我指着永生的耶和华起誓， 亚多尼雅 今日必被治死。」
25So King Solomon sent the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who struck down Adonijah, and he died.
25于是 所罗门 王差遣 耶何耶大 的儿子 比拿雅 ，将 亚多尼雅 杀死。
26Then the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death at this time, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”
26王对祭司 亚比亚他 说：「你回 亚拿突 归自己的田地去吧！你本是该死的，但因你在我父亲 大卫 面前抬过主耶和华的 约 柜，又与我父亲同受一切苦难，所以我今日不将你杀死。」
27So Solomon banished Abiathar from the priesthood of the LORD and thus fulfilled the word that the LORD had spoken at Shiloh against the house of Eli.
27所罗门 就革除 亚比亚他 ，不许他作耶和华的祭司。这样，便应验耶和华在 示罗 论 以利 家所说的话。
28When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah but not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.
28约押 虽然没有归从 押沙龙 ，却归从了 亚多尼雅 。他听见这风声，就逃到耶和华的帐幕，抓住祭坛的角。
29It was reported to King Solomon: “Joab has fled to the tent of the LORD and is now beside the altar.” So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, strike him down!”
29有人告诉 所罗门 王说：「 约押 逃到耶和华的帐幕，现今在祭坛的旁边。」 所罗门 就差遣 耶何耶大 的儿子 比拿雅 ，说：「你去将他杀死。」
30And Benaiah entered the tent of the LORD and said to Joab, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah relayed the message to the king, saying, “This is how Joab answered me.”
30比拿雅 来到耶和华的帐幕，对 约押 说：「王吩咐说，你出来吧！」他说：「我不出去，我要死在这里。」 比拿雅 就去回复王，说 约押 如此如此回答我。
31And the king replied, “Do just as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so remove from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood that Joab shed.
31王说：「你可以照着他的话行，杀死他，将他葬埋，好叫 约押 流无辜人血的罪不归我和我的父家了。
32The LORD will bring his bloodshed back upon his own head, for without the knowledge of my father David he struck down two men more righteous and better than he when he put to the sword Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army.
32耶和华必使 约押 流人血的罪归到他自己的头上；因为他用刀杀了两个比他又义又好的人，就是 以色列 元帅 尼珥 的儿子 押尼珥 和 犹大 元帅 益帖 的儿子 亚玛撒 ，我父亲 大卫 却不知道。
33Their blood will come back upon the heads of Joab and his descendants forever; but for David, his descendants, his house, and his throne, there shall be peace from the LORD forever.”
33故此，流这二人血的罪必归到 约押 和他后裔的头上，直到永远；惟有 大卫 和他的后裔，并他的家与国，必从耶和华那里得平安，直到永远。」
34So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, struck down Joab, and killed him. He was buried at his own home in the wilderness.
34于是 耶何耶大 的儿子 比拿雅 上去，将 约押 杀死，葬在旷野 约押 自己的坟墓里。
35And the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab’s place over the army, and he appointed Zadok the priest in Abiathar’s place.
35王就立 耶何耶大 的儿子 比拿雅 作元帅，代替 约押 ，又使祭司 撒督 代替 亚比亚他 。
36Then the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.
36王差遣人将 示每 召来，对他说：「你要在 耶路撒冷 建造房屋居住，不可出来往别处去。
37On the day you go out and cross the Kidron Valley, know for sure that you will die; your blood will be on your own head.”
37你当确实地知道，你何日出来过 汲沦溪 ，何日必死！你的罪必归到自己的头上。」
38“The sentence is fair,” Shimei replied. “Your servant will do as my lord the king has spoken.” And Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
38示每 对王说：「这话甚好！我主我王怎样说，仆人必怎样行。」于是 示每 多日住在 耶路撒冷 。
39After three years, however, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And Shimei was told, “Look, your slaves are in Gath.”
39过了三年， 示每 的两个仆人逃到 迦特 王 玛迦 的儿子 亚吉 那里去。有人告诉 示每 说：「你的仆人在 迦特 。」
40So Shimei saddled his donkey and set out to Achish at Gath in search of his slaves, and he brought them back from Gath.
40示每 起来，备上驴，往 迦特 到 亚吉 那里去找他的仆人，就从 迦特 带他仆人回来。
41When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
41有人告诉 所罗门 说：「 示每 出 耶路撒冷 往 迦特 去，回来了。」
42the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the LORD and warn you, ‘On the day you leave and go elsewhere, know for sure that you will die’? And you told me, ‘The sentence is fair; I will comply.’
42王就差遣人将 示每 召了来，对他说：「我岂不是叫你指着耶和华起誓，并且警戒你说『你当确实地知道，你哪日出来往别处去，那日必死』吗？你也对我说：『这话甚好，我必听从。』
43So why have you not kept your oath to the LORD and the command that I gave you?”
43现在你为何不遵守你指着耶和华起的誓和我所吩咐你的命令呢？」
44The king also said, “You know in your heart all the evil that you did to my father David. Therefore the LORD will bring your evil back upon your head.
44王又对 示每 说：「你向我父亲 大卫 所行的一切恶事，你自己心里也知道，所以耶和华必使你的罪恶归到自己的头上；
45But King Solomon will be blessed and David’s throne will remain secure before the LORD forever.”
45惟有 所罗门 王必得福，并且 大卫 的国位必在耶和华面前坚定，直到永远。」
46Then the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down, and he died. Thus the kingdom was firmly established in the hand of Solomon.
46于是王吩咐 耶何耶大 的儿子 比拿雅 ，他就去杀死 示每 。这样，便坚定了 所罗门 的国位。
