1 Kings 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying:
1Καὶ ἤγγισαν αἱ ἡμέραι Δαυὶδ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπεκρίνατο Σαλωμὼν υἱῷ αὐτοῦ, λέγων,
2'I go the way of all the earth; be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;
2ἐγώ εἰμι πορεύομαι ἐν ὁδῷ πάσης τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἰσχύσεις, καὶ ἔσῃ εἰς ἄνδρα,
3and keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
3καὶ φυλάξεις φυλακὴν Κυρίου Θεοῦ σου τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ, φυλάσσειν τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωυσέως· ἵνα συνήσῃς ἃ ποιήσεις κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείλωμαί σοι·
4that the LORD may establish His word which He spoke concerning me, saying: If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee, said He, a man on the throne of Israel.
4Ἵνα στήσῃ Κύριος τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ ὃν ἐλάλησε, λέγων, ἐὰν φυλάξωσιν οἱ υἱοί σου τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν πορεύεσθαι ἐνώπιόν μου ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν, λέγων, οὐκ ἐξολοθρευθήσεταί σοι ἀνὴρ ἐπάνωθεν θρόνου Ἰσραήλ.
5Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
5Καί γε σὺ ἔγνως ὅσα ἐποίησέ μοι Ἰωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουίας, ὅσα ἐποίησε τοῖς δυσὶν ἄρχουσι τῶν δυνάμεων Ἰσραὴλ, τῷ Ἀβεννὴρ υἱῷ Νὴρ, καὶ τῷ Ἀμεσσαῒ υἱῷ Ἰεθὲρ, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔταξε τὰ αἵματα πολέμου ἐν εἰρήνῃ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αἷμα ἀθῶον ἐν τῇ ζώνῃ αὐτοῦ τῇ ἐν τῇ ὀσφύϊ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῷ ὑποδήματι αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐν τῷ ποδὶ αὐτοῦ.
6Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.
6Καὶ ποιήσεις κατὰ τὴν σοφίαν σου, καὶ σὺ κατάξεις τὴν πολιὰν αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ εἰς ᾅδου.
7But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they drew nigh unto me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
7Καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Βερζελλὶ τοῦ Γαλααδίτου ποιήσεις ἔλεος, καὶ ἔσονται ἐν τοῖς ἐσθίουσιν τὴν τράπεζάν σου· ὅτι οὕτως ἤγγισάν μοι ἐν τῷ με ἀποδιδράσκειν ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου.
8And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying: I will not put thee to death with the sword.
8Καὶ ἰδοὺ μετὰ σοῦ Σεμεῒ υἱὸς Γηρὰ υἱὸς τοῦ Ἰεμινὶ ἐκ Βαουρὶμ, καὶ αὐτὸς κατηράσατό με κατάραν ὀδυνηρὰν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐπορευόμην εἰς παρεμβολάς· καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβη εἰς ἀπαντήν μου εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ ὤμοσα αὐτῷ ἐν Κυρίῳ, λέγων, εἰ θανατώσω σε ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.
9Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to the grave with blood.'
9Καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀθωώσῃς αὐτὸν, ὅτι ἀνὴρ σοφὸς εἶ σύ, καὶ γνώσῃ ἃ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ, καὶ κατάξεις τὴν πολιὰν αὐτοῦ ἐν αἵματι εἰς ᾅδου.
10And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
10Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Δαυὶδ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ.
11And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
11Καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι ἃς ἐβασίλευσε Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη· ἐν Χεβρὼν ἐβασίλευσεν ἑπτά ἔτη, καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τριάκοντα τρία ἔτη.
12And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established firmly.
12Καὶ Σαλωμὼν ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ σφόδρα.
13Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said: 'Comest thou peaceably?' And he said: 'Peaceably.'
13Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἀδωνίας υἱὸς Ἀγγὶθ πρὸς Βηρσαβεὲ μητέρα Σαλωμὼν, καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῇ· ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, εἰρήνη ἡ εἴσοδός σου; καὶ εἶπεν, εἰρήνη·
14He said moreover: 'I have somewhat to say unto thee.' And she said: 'Say on.'
14λόγος μοι πρὸς σέ. Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, λάλησον.
15And he said: 'Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign; howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.
15Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, σὺ οἶδας, ὅτι ἐμοὶ ἦν βασιλεία, καὶ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἔθετο πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ εἰς βασιλέα· καὶ ἐστράφη ἡ βασιλεία, καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ ἀδελφῷ μου, ὅτι παρὰ Κυρίου ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ.
16And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not.' And she said unto him: 'Say on.'
16Καὶ νῦν αἴτησιν μίαν ἐγὼ αἰτοῦμαι παρὰ σοῦ, μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Βηρσαβεὲ, λάλει.
17And he said: 'Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king — for he will not say thee nay — that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.'
17Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, εἰπον δὴ πρὸς Σαλωμὼν τὸν βασιλέα, ὅτι οὐκ ἀποστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ δώσει μοι τὴν Ἀβισὰγ τὴν Σωμανίτιν εἰς γυναῖκα.
18And Bath-sheba said: 'Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.'
18Καὶ εἶπε Βηρσαβεὲ, καλῶς· ἐγὼ λαλήσω περὶ σοῦ τῷ βασιλεῖ.
19Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed down unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
19Καὶ εἰσῆλθε Βηρσαβεὲ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμὼν αλῆσαι αὐτῷ περὶ Ἀδωνίου· καὶ ἐξανέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῇ, καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου· καὶ ἐτέθη θρόνος τῇ μητρὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ.
20Then she said: 'I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not.' And the king said unto her: 'Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny thee.'
20Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, αἴτησιν μίαν μικρὰν ἐγὼ αἰτοῦμαι παρὰ σοῦ, μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν μου· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεύς, αἴτησαι, μήτερ ἐμὴ, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψω σε.
21And she said: 'Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.'
21Καὶ εἶπε, δοθήτω δὴ Ἀβισὰ ἡ Σωμανίτις τῷ Αδωνίᾳ τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου εἰς γυναῖκα.
22And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother: 'And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.'
22Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν, καὶ εἶπε τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἱνατί σὺ ᾔτησαι τὴν Ἀβισὰλ τῷ Ἀδωνίᾳ; καὶ αἴτησαι αὐτῷ τὴν βασιλείαν, ὅτι οὗτος ἀδελφός μου ὁ μέγας ὑπὲρ ἐμέ, καὶ αὐτῷ Ἀβιάθαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ αὐτῷ Ἰωὰβ ὁ υἱὸς Σαρουίας ἀρχιστράτηγος ἑταῖρος.
23Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying: 'God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
23Καὶ ὤμοσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, λέγων, τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τάδε παροσθείη, ὅτι κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἐλάλησεν Ἀδωνίας τὸν λόγον τοῦτον.
24Now therefore as the LORD liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as He promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.'
24Καὶ νῦν ζῇ Κύριος ὃς ἡτοίμασε με καὶ ἔθετό με ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐποίησέ μοι οἶκον καθὼς ἐλάλησε Κύριος, ὅτι σήμερον θανατωθήσεται Ἀδωνίας.
25And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.
25Καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἐν χειρὶ Βαναίου υἱοῦ Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ ἀνεῖλεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἀδωνίας ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
26And unto Abiathar the priest said the king: 'Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art deserving of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.'
26Καὶ τῷ Ἀβιάθαρ τῷ ἱερεῖ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς, ἀπότρεχε σὺ εἰς Ἀναθὼθ εἰς ἀγρόν σου, ὅτι ἀνὴρ θανάτου εἶ σὺ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ· καὶ οὐ θανατώσω σε, ὅτι ᾖρας τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ὅτι ἐκακουχήθης ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐκακουχήθη ὁ πατήρ μου.
27So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that the word of the LORD might be fulfilled, which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
27Καὶ ἐξέβαλε Σαλωμὼν τὸν Ἀβιάθαρ τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἱερέα τοῦ Κυρίου, πληρωθῆναι τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἡλὶ ἐν Σηλώμ.
28And the tidings came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
28Καὶ ἡ ἀκοὴ ἦλθεν ἕως Ἰωὰβ υἱοῦ Σαρουίας, ὅτι Ἰωὰβ ἦν κεκλικὼς ὀπίσω Ἀδωνίου, καὶ ὀπίσω Σαλωμὼν οὐκ ἔκλινε· καὶ ἔφυγεν Ἰωὰβ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ κατέσχε τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.
29And it was told king Solomon: 'Joab is fled unto the Tent of the LORD, and, behold, he is by the altar.' Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying: 'Go, fall upon him.'
29Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαλωμὼν, λέγοντες, ὅτι πέφευγεν Ἰωὰβ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἰδοὺ κατέχει τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου· καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαλωμὼν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ἰωὰβ, λέγων, τί γέγονέ σοι, ὅτι πέφευγας εἰς τὸ θυσιαστήριον; καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωὰβ, ὅτι ἐφοβήθην ἀπὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ ἔφυγον πρὸς Κύριον· καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαλωμὼν τὸν Βαναίου υἱὸν Ἰωδαὲ, λέγων, πορεύου καὶ ἄνελε αὐτὸν, καὶ θάψον αὐτόν.
30And Benaiah came to the Tent of the LORD, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the king: Come forth.' And he said: 'Nay; but I will die here.' And Benaiah brought back word unto the king, saying: 'Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.'
30Καὶ ἦλθε Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ πρὸς Ἰωὰβ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς, ἔξελθε· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωὰβ, οὐκ ἐκπορεύωμαι, ὅτι ὧδε ἀποθανοῦμαι· καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ εἶπε τῷ βασιλεῖ, λέγων, τάδε λελάληκεν Ἰωὰβ, καὶ τάδε ἀποκέκριταί μοι.
31And the king said unto him: 'Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.
31Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς, πορεύου, καὶ ποίησον αὐτῷ καθὼς εἴρηκε, καὶ ἄνελε αὐτὸν· καὶ θάψεις αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐξαρεῖς σήμερον τὸ αἷμα ὃ δωρεὰν ἐξέχεεν, ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου.
32And the LORD will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
32Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Κύριος τὸ αἷμα τῆς ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἀπήντησε τοῖς δυσὶν ἀνθρώποις τοῖς δικαίοις καὶ ἀγαθοῖς ὑπὲρ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ, καὶ ὁ πατήρ μου Δαυὶδ οὐκ ἔγνω τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν, τὸν Ἀβεννὴρ υἱὸν Νὴρ ἀρχιστράτηγον Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ τὸν Ἀμεσσὰ υἱὸν Ἰεθὲρ ἀρχιστράτηγον Ἰούδα.
33So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.'
33Καὶ ἐπεστράφη τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰς κεφαλὴν τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ θρόνῳ αὐτοῦ γένοιτο εἰρήνη ἕως αἰῶνος παρὰ Κυρίου.
34Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
34Καὶ ἀνέβη Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ ἀπήντησεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔθαψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
35And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
35Καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Βαναίου υἱὸν Ἰωδαὲ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν στρατηγίαν· καὶ ἡ βασιλεία κατωρθοῦτο ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ· καὶ Σαδὼκ τὸν ἱερέα ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς ἱερέα πρῶτον ἀντὶ Ἀβιάθαρ. Καὶ Σαλωμὼς υἱὸς Δαυὶδ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος φρόνησιν τῷ Σαλωμὼν, καὶ σοφίαν πολλὴν σφόδρα, καὶ πλάτος καρδίας, ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν. Καὶ ἐπληθύνθη ἡ φρόνησις Σαλωμὼν σφόδρα ὑπὲρ τὴν φρόνησιν πάντων υἱῶν ἀρχαίων, καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντας φρονίμους Αἰγύπτου· Καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν θυγατέρα Φαραὼ, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὴν εἰς πόλιν Δαυὶδ ἕως συντελέσαι αὐτὸν οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ἐν πρώτοις, καὶ τὸ τεῖχος Ἱερουσαλὴμ κυκλόθεν· ἐν ἑπτὰ ἔτεσιν ἐποίησε καὶ συνετέλεσε. Καὶ ἦν τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἐβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες αἴροντες ἄρσιν, καὶ ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδες λατόμων ἐν τῷ ὄρει· καὶ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ τὰ ὑποστηρίγματα, καὶ τοὺς λουτῆρας τοὺς μεγάλους, καὶ τοὺς στύλους, καὶ τἠν κρήνην τῆς αὐλῆς, καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ἄκραν ἔπαλξιν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς, διεκόψεν τὴν πόλιν Δαυίδ. οὕτως θυγάτηρ Φαραὼ ἀνέβαινεν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Δαυὶδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτῇ· τότε ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ἄκραν· καὶ Σαλωμὼν ἀνέφερε τρεῖς ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ εἰρηνικὰς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ὃ ᾠκοδόμησε τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἐθυμία ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ συνετέλεσε τὸν οἶκον. Καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες οἱ καθεσταμένοι ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Σαλωμὼν, τρεῖς χιλιάδες καὶ ἑξακόσιοι ἐπιστάται τοῦ λαοῦ τῶν ποιούντων τὰ ἔργα· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Ἀσσοὺρ, καὶ τὴν Μαγδὼ, καὶ τὴν Γαζὲρ, καὶ τὴν Βαιθωρὼν ἐπάνω, καὶ τὰ Βαλλάθ· πλὴν μετὰ τὸ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ τὸ τεῖχος Ἱερουσαλὴμ κύκλῳ, μετὰ ταῦτα ᾠκοδόμησε τὰς πόλεις ταύτας. Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτι Δαυὶδ ζῇν, ἐνετείλατο τῷ Σαλωμὼν, λέγων, ἰδοὺ μετὰ σοῦ Σεμεῒ υἱὸς Γηρὰ υἱὸς τοῦ σπέρματος τοῦ Ἰεμινὶ ἐκ Χεβρών· οὗτος κατηράσατό με κατάραν ὀδυνηρὰν ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐπορευόμην εἰς παρεμβολάς· καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβαινεν εἰς ἀπαντήν μοι ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ ὤμοσα αὐτῷ κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, λέγων, εἰ θανατωθήσεται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ· καὶ νῦν μὴ ἀθωώσῃς αὐτὸν, ὅτι ἀνὴρ φρόνιμος σύ· καὶ γνώσῃ ἃ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ, καὶ κατάξεις τὴν πολιὰν αὐτοῦ ἐν αἵματι εἰς ᾅδου.
36And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
36Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Σεμεῒ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ὠκοδόμησον σεαυτῷ οἶκον ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ κάθου ἐκεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ ἐκεῖθεν οὐδαμοῦ.
37For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die; thy blood shall be upon thine own head.'
37Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς ἐξόδου σου καὶ διαβήσῃ τὸν χείμαῤῥον Κέδρων, γινώσκων γνώσῃ ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ· τὸ αἷμά σου ἔσται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου· καὶ ὥρκισεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
38And Shimei said unto the king: 'The saying is good; as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do.' And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
38Καὶ εἶπε Σεμεῒ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ἀγαθὸν τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησας, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ· οὕτω ποιήσει ὁ δοῦλός σου· καὶ ἐκάθισε Σεμεῒ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τρία ἔτη.
39And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying: 'Behold, thy servants are in Gath.'
39Καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ τὰ τρία ἔτη, καὶ ἀπέδρασαν δύο δοῦλοι τοῦ Σεμεῒ πρὸς Ἀγχοὺς υἱὸν Μααχὰ βασιλέα Γέθ· καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σεμεῒ, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ οἱ δοῦλοί σου ἐν Γέθ.
40And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
40Καὶ ἀνέστη Σεμεῒ καὶ ἐπέσαξε τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Γὲθ πρὸς Ἀγχοὺς τοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Σεμεῒ, καὶ ἤγαγε τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ ἐκ Γέθ.
41And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come back.
41Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαλωμὼν, λέγοντες, ὅτι ἐπορεύθη Σεμεῒ ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς Γὲθ, καὶ ἀνέστρεψε τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ.
42And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him: 'Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and forewarned thee, saying: Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me: The saying is good; I have heard it.
42Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν Σεμεῒ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν, οὐχὶ ὥρκισά σε κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπεμαρτυράμην σοι, λέγων, ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐξέλθῃς ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ πορευθῇς εἰς δεξιὰ ἢ εἰς ἀριστερά, γινώσκων γνώσῃ ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ;
43Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?'
43Καὶ τί ὅτι οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὸν ὅρκον Κυρίου, καὶ τὴν ἐντολὴν ἣν ἐνετειλάμην κατὰ σοῦ;
44The king said moreover to Shimei: 'Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father; therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head.
44Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σεμεῒ, σὺ οἶδας πᾶσαν τὴν κακίαν σου ἣν οἶδεν ἡ καρδία σου, ἃ ἐποίησας Δαυὶδ τῷ πατρί μου, καὶ ἀνταπέδωκε Κύριος τὴν κακίαν σου εἰς κεφαλήν σου.
45But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.'
45Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν εὐλογημένος, καὶ ὁ θρόνος Δαυὶδ ἔσται ἕτοιμος ἐνώπιον Κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
46So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
46Καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν τῷ Βαναίᾳ υἱῷ Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ ἐξῆλθε καὶ ἀνεῖλεν αὐτόν. Καὶ ἦν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν φρόνιμος σφόδρα καὶ σοφός· καὶ Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραὴλ πολλοὶ σφόδρα, ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς πλῆθος, ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες καὶ χαίροντες· καὶ Σαλωμὼν ἦν ἄρχων ἐν πάσαις ταῖς βασιλείαις· καὶ ἦσαν προσφέροντες δῶρα, καὶ ἐδούλευον τῷ Σαλωμὼν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ· καὶ Σαλωμὼν ἤρξατο ἀνοίγειν τὰ δυναστεύματα τοῦ Λιβάνου· καὶ αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Θερμαὶ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἄριστον τῷ Σαλωμών· τριάκοντα κόροι σεμιδάλεως, καὶ ἑξήκοντα κόροι ἀλεύρου κεκοπανισμένου, δέκα μόσχοι ἐκλεκτοὶ, καὶ εἴκοσι βόες νομάδες, καὶ ἑκατὸν πρόβατα, ἐκτὸς ἐλάφων καὶ δορκάδων καὶ ὀρνίθων ἐκλεκτῶν νομάδων· ὅτι ἦν ἄρχων ἐν παντὶ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἀπὸ Ῥαφὶ ἕως Γάζης ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς βασιλεῦσι πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ·; καὶ ἦν αὐτῷ εἰρήνη ἐκ πάντων τῶν μερῶν αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν· καὶ κατῴκει Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραὴλ πεποιθότες, ἕκαστος ὑπὸ τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν συκῆν αὐτοῦ, ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες καὶ ἑορτάζοντες ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σαλωμών. Καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες τοῦ Σαλωμών. Ἀζαρίου υἱὸς Σαδὼκ τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ Ὀρνίου υἱὸς Νάθαν ἄρχων τῶν ἐφεστηκότων· καὶ ἔδραμεν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· καὶ Σουβὰ γραμματεὺς, καὶ Βασὰ υἱὸς Ἀχιθαλὰμ ἀναμιμνήσκων, καὶ Ἀβὶ υἱὸς Ἰωὰβ ἀρχιστράτηγος, καὶ Ἀχιρὲ υἱὸς Ἐδραῒ ἐπὶ τὰς ἄρσεις, καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ ἐπὶ τῆς αὐλαρχίας καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ πλινθίου, καὶ Καχοὺρ υἱὸς Νάθαν ὁ σύμβουλος. Καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμὼν τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδες τοκάδες ἵπποι εἰς ἅρματα, καὶ δώδεκα χιλιάδες ἵππων· καὶ ἦν ἄρχων ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἕως γῆς ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἕως ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου· καὶ Σαλωμὼν υἱὸς Δαυὶδ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
