Capitolo 2
1
A kad dođe vreme Davidu da umre, zapovedi Solomunu, sinu svom govoreći:
2
Ja idem kud ide sve na zemlji; a ti budi hrabar i budi čovek.
3
I drži šta ti je Gospod Bog tvoj zapovedio da držiš, hodeći putevima Njegovim i držeći uredbe Njegove i zapovesti Njegove i zakone Njegove i svedočanstva Njegova, kako je napisano u zakonu Mojsijevom, da bi napredovao u svemu što uzradiš i za čim se god okreneš,
4
da bi Gospod ispunio reč svoju koju mi je rekao govoreći: Ako uspaze sinovi tvoji na put svoj hodeći preda mnom verno, svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom, tada ti neće nestati čoveka na prestolu Izrailjevom.
5
A ti znaš šta mi je učinio Joav, sin Serujin, šta je učinio dvema vojvodama Izrailjevim, Aveniru sinu Nirovom i Amasi sinu Jeterovom, koje ubi prolivši u miru krv kao u ratu, i okalja krvlju kao u ratu pojas svoj oko sebe, i obuću svoju na nogu.
6
Učini dakle po mudrosti svojoj, i nemoj dati da se seda glava njegova spusti s mirom u grob.
7
Sinovima pak Varzelaja od Galada učini milost, i neka bude među onima koji jedu za tvojim stolom, jer su tako došli k meni kad sam bežao od Avesaloma, brata tvog.
8
I eto, kod tebe je Simej, sin Girin od Venijamina iz Vaurima, koji me je ljuto ružio kad iđah u Mahanajim; ali mi dođe na susret na Jordan, i zakleh mu se Gospodom rekavši: Neću te ubiti mačem.
9
Ali mu ti nemoj oprostiti, jer si mudar čovek i znaćeš šta ćeš mu učiniti, da opraviš sedu glavu njegovu s krvlju u grob.
10
Tako počinu David kod otaca svojih, i bi pogreben u gradu Davidovom.
11
A carova David nad Izrailjem četrdeset godina: u Hevronu carova sedam godina, a u Jerusalimu carova trideset i tri godine.
12
I Solomun sede na presto Davida oca svog, i carstvo se njegovo utvrdi jako.
13
Tada dođe Adonija, sin Agitin, k Vitsaveji materi Solomunovoj; a ona reče: Jesi li dobro došao? A on reče: Dobro.
14
Potom reče: Imam nešto da ti kažem. A ona reče: Govori.
15
Tada reče: Ti znaš da je moje bilo carstvo, i da je u mene bio upro oči sav Izrailj da ja budem car; ali se carstvo prenese i dopade bratu mom, jer mu ga Gospod dade.
16
Zato te sad molim za jedno; nemoj me odbiti. A ona mu reče: Govori.
17
A on reče: Govori caru Solomunu, jer ti on neće odbiti, neka mi da za ženu Avisagu Sunamku.
18
A Vitsaveja reče: Dobro, ja ću govoriti caru za te.
19
I dođe Vitsaveja k caru Solomunu da mu govori za Adoniju; a car usta i srete je i poklonivši joj se sede na svoj presto, i zapovedi te namestiše stolicu materi njegovoj, i ona sede njemu s desne strane.
20
Tada ona reče: Iskala bih od tebe jednu malu stvar, nemoj me odbiti. A car joj reče: Išti, majko, neću te odbiti.
21
Ona reče: Podaj Avisagu Sunamku Adoniji, bratu svom za ženu.
22
A car Solomun odgovori materi svojoj i reče: Zašto išteš Avisagu Sunamku za Adoniju? Išti i carstvo za nj, jer je on brat moj stariji i ima uza se Avijatara sveštenika i Joava sina Serujinog.
23
I zakle se car Solomun Gospodom govoreći: Tako da mi učini Bog i tako da doda, sebi na smrt kaza to Adonija danas.
24
I zato, tako da je živ Gospod, koji me je utvrdio i posadio me na prestolu Davida oca mog, i koji mi je načinio kuću kao što je rekao, danas će poginuti Adonija.
25
I posla car Solomun Venaju, sina Jodajevog, koji uloži na nj, te pogibe.
26
A Avijataru svešteniku reče car: Idi u Anatot na njivu svoju, jer si zaslužio smrt, ali te neću danas pogubiti, jer si nosio kovčeg Gospodnji pred Davidom ocem mojim i podnosio si sve nevolje koje je podnosio otac moj.
27
Tako Solomun svrže Avijatara da ne bude sveštenik Gospodnji, da ispuni reč Gospodnju što reče u Silomu za dom Ilijev.
28
I ovaj glas dođe do Joava; a Joav beše pristao za Adonijom, premda za Avesalomom ne beše pristao; i uteče Joav u šator Gospodnji i uhvati se za rogove oltaru.
29
I javiše caru Solomunu: Joav uteče u šator Gospodnji, i eno ga kod oltara. A Solomun posla Venaju sina Jodajevog govoreći: Idi, uloži na nj.
30
I ušavši Venaja u šator Gospodnji reče mu: Car je kazao: Iziđi. A on reče: Neću; nego ovde hoću da umrem. A Venaja javi caru govoreći: Tako reče Joav i tako mi odgovori.
31
A car mu reče: Učini kako je rekao, uloži na nj, i pogrebi ga, i skini s mene i s doma oca mog krv pravu koju je prolio Joav.
32
I neka Gospod obrati krv njegovu na njegovu glavu, što uloži na dva čoveka pravednija i bolja od sebe, i ubi ih mačem bez znanja oca mog Davida: Avenira sina Nirovog vojvodu Izrailjevog i Amasu sina Jeterovog vojvodu Judinog;
33
neka se dakle krv njihova vrati na glavu Joavovu i na glavu semena njegovog doveka; a Davidu i semenu njegovom i domu njegovom i prestolu njegovom neka bude mir doveka od Gospoda.
34
I otide Venaja, sin Jodajev, i uloži na nj i pogubi ga, i bi pogreben kod kuće svoje u pustinji.
35
Tada postavi car Venaju, sina Jodajevog, na njegovo mesto nad vojskom, a Sadoka sveštenika postavi car na mesto Avijatarovo.
36
Potom posla car i dozva Simeja, i reče mu: Sagradi sebi kuću u Jerusalimu, pa tu sedi, i ne izlazi odatle nikuda.
37
Jer u koji dan iziđeš i pređeš preko potoka Kedrona, znaj zacelo da ćeš poginuti, i krv će tvoja pasti na tvoju glavu.
38
A Simej reče caru: Dobra je ta reč; kako je rekao gospodar moj car, tako će učiniti sluga tvoj. I sede Simej u Jerusalimu dugo vremena.
39
Ali se dogodi posle tri godine, te utekoše dve sluge Simejeve k Ahisu, sinu Mašinom caru gatskom. I bi javljeno Simeju: Eno ti slugu u Gatu.
40
Tada usta Simej, i osamari svog magarca, i otide u Gat k Ahisu da traži sluge svoje. I vrati se Simej, i dovede natrag sluge svoje iz Gata.
41
I javiše Solomunu da je Simej bio otišao iz Jerusalima u Gat, i da se vratio.
42
Tada car poslavši dozva Simeja, i reče mu: Nisam li te zakleo Gospodom i nisam li ti tvrdo rekao: U koji dan iziđeš kuda mu drago, znaj zacelo da ćeš poginuti? I ti mi reče: Dobra je ta reč koju čuh.
43
Zašto, dakle, nisi držao zakletvu Gospodnju i zapovest koju sam ti zapovedio?
44
Potom reče car Simeju: Ti znaš sve zlo za koje zna srce tvoje, šta si učinio Davidu ocu mom; Gospod vraća tvoje zlo na tvoju glavu.
45
A car će Solomun biti blagosloven i presto Davidov utvrđen pred Gospodom do veka.
46
I zapovedi car Venaji sinu Jodajevom, te iziđe i uloži na nj, te pogibe. I carstvo se utvrdi u ruci Solomunovoj.
1 Kings
Capitolo 2
1
Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
2
I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;
3
And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
4
That the LORD may continue his word which he spake 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.
5
Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and 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.
6
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.
7
But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
8
And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
9
Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.
10
So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
11
And 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.
12
¶ Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
13
¶ And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
14
He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.
15
And 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.
16
And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
17
And 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.
18
And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
19
¶ Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.
20
Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.
21
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
22
And 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.
23
Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
24
Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
25
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
26
¶ And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
27
So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28
¶ Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
29
And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
30
And Benaiah came to the tabernacle 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 the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
31
And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
32
And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
33
Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.
34
So 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.
35
¶ And 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.
36
¶ And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
37
For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
38
And 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.
39
And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.
40
And 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.
41
And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
42
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.
43
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
44
The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;
45
And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
46
So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
