Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 2:1 ¶ And the days of David drew near that he should die: and he addressed his son Solomon, saying, I go the way of all the earth:

 2:1 ¶ Now the days° of David° drew nigh°° that he should die;°° and he charged°°° Solomon° his son,° saying,°°

 2:2 but be thou strong, and shew thyself a man;

 2:2 I° go°° the way° of all° the earth:° be thou strong°° therefore, and shew° thyself a man;°

 2:3 and keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep the commandments and the ordinances and the judgements which are written in the law of Mosheh{gr.Moses}; that thou mayest understand what thou shalt do in all things that I command thee:

 2:3 And keep°°° the charge° of Yahweh° thy Elohim,° 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:

 2:4 that the Lord may confirm his word which he spoke, saying, If thy children shall take heed to their way to walk before me in truth with all their heart, [I promise thee], saying, there shall not fail thee a man on the throne of Israel.

 2:4 That° Yahweh° 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.°

 2:5 Moreover thou knowest all that Joab the son of Zeruiah{gr.Saruia} did to me, what he did to the two captains of the forces of Israel, to Abner{gr.Abenner} the son of Ner, and to Amasa{gr.Amessai} the son of Jether, that he slew them, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put innocent blood on his girdle that was about his loins, and on his sandal that was on his foot.

 2:5 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.°

 2:6 Therefore thou shalt deal [with him] according to thy wisdom, and thou shalt not bring down his grey hairs in peace to the grave.

 2:6 Do°° therefore according to thy wisdom,° and let not° his hoar head° go down°° to the grave° in peace.°

 2:7 But thou shalt deal kindly with the sons of Barzillai{gr.Berzelli} the Gileadite{gr.Galaadite}, and they shall be among those that eat at thy table; for thus they drew nigh to me when I fled from the face of thy brother Absalom{gr.Abessalom}.

 2:7 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.°

 2:8 And, behold, [there is] with thee Shimei{gr.Semei} the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Baurim: and he cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went into the camp; and he came down to Jordan to meet me, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

 2:8 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 Yahweh,° saying,°° I will not° put thee to death°° with the sword.°

 2:9 But thou shalt by no means hold him guiltless, for thou art a wise man, and wilt know what thou shalt do to him, and shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to the grave.

 2:9 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.°

 2:10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

 2:10 So David° slept°° with° his fathers,° and was buried°° in the city° of David.°

 2:11 And the days which David reigned over Israel [were] forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron{gr.Chebron}, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

 2:11 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.°

 2:12 ¶ And Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was established greatly.

 2:12 ¶ Then sat°° Solomon° upon° the throne° of David° his father;° and his kingdom° was established°° greatly.°

 2:13 ¶ And Adonijah{gr.Adonias} the son of Aggith came in to Beersheba{gr.Bersabee} the mother of Solomon, and did obeisance to her: and she said, Dost thou enter peaceably? and he said, Peaceably:

 2:13 ¶ And Adonijah° the son° of Haggith° came°° to° Bathsheba° the mother° of Solomon.° And she said,°° Comest°° thou peaceably?° And he said,°° Peaceably.°

 2:14 I have business with thee. And she said to him, Say on.

 2:14 He said°° moreover, I have somewhat to say° unto° thee. And she said,°° Say on.°°

 2:15 And he said to her, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel turned their face toward me for a king; but the kingdom was turned [from me] and became my brother's: for it was [appointed] to him from the Lord.

 2:15 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 Yahweh.°°

 2:16 And now I make one request of thee, do not turn away thy face. And Beersheba{gr.Bersabee} said to him, Speak [on].

 2:16 And now° I° ask°° one° petition° of°° thee, deny°°°° me° not.° And she said°° unto° him, Say on.°°

 2:17 And he said to her, Speak, I pray thee, to king Solomon, for he will not turn away his face from thee, and let him give me Abisag the Shunammite{gr.Somanite} for a wife.

 2:17 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.°

 2:18 And Beersheba{gr.Bersabee} said, Well; I will speak for thee to the king.

 2:18 And Bathsheba° said,°° Well;° I° will speak°° for° thee unto° the king.°

 2:19 ¶ And Beersheba{gr.Bersabee} went in to king Solomon to speak to him concerning Adonijah{gr.Adonias}; and the king rose up to meet her, and kissed her, and sat on the throne, and a throne was set for the mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand.

 2:19 ¶ Bathsheba° 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.°

 2:20 And she said to him, I ask of thee one little request; turn not away my face from thee. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, and I will not reject thee.

 2:20 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.°°°°

 2:21 And she said, Let, I pray thee, Abisag the Shunammite{gr.Somanite} be given to Adonijah{gr.Adonias} thy brother to wife.

 2:21 And she said,°° Let° Abishag° the Shunammite° be given°° to Adonijah° thy brother° to wife.°

 2:22 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why hast thou asked Abisag for Adonijah{gr.Adonias}? ask for him the kingdom also; for he [is] my elder brother, and he has for his companion Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Zeruiah{gr.Saruia} the commander-in-chief.

 2:22 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.°

 2:23 And king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, God do so to me, and more also, [if it be not] that Adonijah{gr.Adonias} has spoken this word against his own life.

 2:23 Then king° Solomon° sware°° by Yahweh,° saying,°° Elohim° do°° so° to me, and more° also,°°° if° Adonijah° have not spoken°°° this° word° against his own life.°

 2:24 And now [as] the Lord lives who has established me, and set me on the throne of my father David, and he has made me a house, as the Lord spoke, this day shall Adonijah{gr.Adonias} be put to death.

 2:24 Now° therefore, [as] Yahweh° 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.°

 2:25 So king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} the son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae}, and he slew him, and Adonijah{gr.Adonias} died in that day.

 2:25 And king° Solomon° sent°° by the hand° of Benaiah° the son° of Jehoiada;° and he fell°° upon him that he died.°°

 2:26 ¶ And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Depart thou quickly to Anathoth to thy farm, for thou art worthy of death this day; but I will not slay thee, because thou hast borne the ark of the covenant of the Lord before my father, and because thou was afflicted in all things wherein my father was afflicted.

 2:26 ¶ 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 Adonai° Yahweh°° before° David° my father,° and because° thou hast been afflicted°° in all° wherein° my father° was afflicted.°°

 2:27 And Solomon removed Abiathar from being a priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli{gr.Heli} in Shelah{gr.Selom}.

 2:27 So Solomon° thrust out°°° Abiathar° from being°° priest° unto Yahweh;° that he might fulfil°°° the word° of Yahweh,° which° he spake°° concerning° the house° of Eli° in Shiloh.°

 2:28 ¶ And the report came to Joab son of Zeruiah{gr.Saruia}; for Joab had turned after Adonijah{gr.Adonias}, and he went not after Solomon: and Joab fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.

 2:28 ¶ Then tidings° came°° to° Joab:° for° Joab° had turned°° after° Adonijah,° though he turned°° not° after° Absalom.° And Joab° fled°° unto° the tabernacle° of Yahweh,° and caught hold°° on the horns° of the altar.°

 2:29 And it was told Solomon, saying, Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and lo! he has hold of the horns of the altar. And king Solomon sent to Joab, saying, What ails thee, that thou hast fled to the altar? and Joab said, Because I was afraid of thee, and fled for refuge to the Lord. And Solomon sent Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae}, saying, Go and slay him, and bury him.

 2:29 And it was told°° king° Solomon° that° Joab° was fled°° unto° the tabernacle° of Yahweh;° and, behold,° [he is] by° the altar.° Then Solomon° sent°°° Benaiah° the son° of Jehoiada,° saying,°° Go,°°° fall°° upon him.

 2:30 And Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae} came to Joab to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And Joab said, I will not come forth, for I will die here. And Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae} returned and spoke to the king, saying, Thus has Joab spoken, and thus has he answered me.

 2:30 And Benaiah° came°° to° the tabernacle° of Yahweh,° 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.

 2:31 And the king said to him, Go, and do to him as he has spoken, and kill him: and thou shalt bury him, and thou shalt remove this day the blood which he shed without cause, from me and from the house of my father.

 2:31 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.°

 2:32 And the Lord has returned upon his own head the blood of his unrighteousness, inasmuch as he attacked two men more righteous and better than himself, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew not of their blood, [even] Abner{gr.Abenner} the son of Ner the commander-in-chief of Israel, and Amessa the son of Jether the commander-in-chief of Judah{gr.Juda}.

 2:32 And Yahweh° 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.°

 2:33 And their blood is returned upon his head, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but to David, and his seed, and his house, and his throne, may there be peace for ever from the Lord.

 2:33 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°° Yahweh.°

 2:34 So Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae} went up, and attacked him, and slew him, and buried him in his house in the wilderness.

 2:34 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.°

 2:35 ¶ And the king appointed Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae} in his place over the host; and the kingdom was established in Jerusalem; and [as for] Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest, the king appointed him to be high priest in the room of Abiathar. And Solomon son of David reigned over Israel and Judah{gr.Juda} in Jerusalem: and the Lord gave understanding to Solomon, and very much wisdom, and largeness of heart, as the sand by the sea-shore.

 2:35 ¶ 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.°

 2:36 ¶ And the king called Shimei{gr.Semei}, and said to him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and thou shalt not go out thence any whither.

 2:36 ¶ 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.°

 2:37 And it shall come to pass in the day that thou shalt go forth and cross over the brook Kidron{gr.Kedron}, know assuredly that thou shalt certainly die: thy blood shall be upon thine head. And the king caused him to swear in that day.

 2:37 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.°

 2:38 And Shimei{gr.Semei} said to the king, Good [is] the word that thou hast spoken, my lord O king: thus will thy servant do. And Shimei{gr.Semei} dwelt in Jerusalem three years.

 2:38 And Shimei° said°° unto the king,° The saying° [is] good:° as° my adon° the king° hath said,°° so° will thy servant° do.°° And Shimei° dwelt°° in Jerusalem° many° days.°

 2:39 And it came to pass after the three years, that two servants of Shimei{gr.Semei} ran away to Achish{gr.Anchus} son of Maachah{gr.Maacha} king of Gath{gr.Geth}: and it was told Shimei{gr.Semei}, saying, Behold, thy servants [are] in Gath{gr.Geth}.

 2:39 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.°

 2:40 And Shimei{gr.Semei} rose up, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath{gr.Geth} to Achish{gr.Anchus} to seek out his servants: and Shimei{gr.Semei} went, and brought his servants out of Gath{gr.Geth}.

 2:40 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.°°

 2:41 And it was told Solomon, saying, Shimei{gr.Semei} is gone out of Jerusalem to Gath{gr.Geth}, and has brought back his servants.

 2:41 And it was told°° Solomon° that° Shimei° had gone°° from Jerusalem°° to Gath,° and was come again.°°

 2:42 And the king sent and called Shimei{gr.Semei}, and said to him, Did I not adjure thee by the Lord, and testify to thee, saying, In whatsoever day thou shalt go out of Jerusalem, and go to the right or left, know certainly that thou shalt assuredly die?

 2:42 And the king° sent°° and called°° for Shimei,° and said°° unto° him, Did I not° make thee to swear°° by Yahweh,° 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.°

 2:43 And why hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment which I commanded thee?

 2:43 Why° then hast thou not° kept°°° the oath° of Yahweh,° and the commandment° that° I have charged°° thee° with?

 2:44 And the king said to Shimei{gr.Semei}, Thou knowest all thy mischief which thy heart knows, which thou didst to David my father: and the Lord has recompensed thy mischief on thine [own] head.

 2:44 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 Yahweh° shall return°°° thy wickedness° upon thine own head;°

 2:45 And king Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever.

 2:45 And king° Solomon° [shall be] blessed,°° and the throne° of David° shall be° established°° before° Yahweh° for° ever.°°

 2:46 And Solomon commanded Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} the son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae}, and he went forth and slew him. And king Solomon was very prudent and wise: and Judah{gr.Juda} and Israel [were] very many, as the sand which is by the sea for multitude, eating, and drinking, and rejoicing: and Solomon was chief in all the kingdoms, and they brought gifts, and served Solomon all the days of his life. And Solomon began to open the domains of Lebanon{gr.Libanus}, and he built Thermae in the wilderness. And this was the daily provision of Solomon, thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of ground meal, ten choice calves, and twenty oxen from the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides stags, and does, and choice fed birds. For he ruled in all the country on this side the river, from Raphi unto Gaza, over all the kings on this side the river: and he was at peace on all sides round about; and Judah{gr.Juda} and Israel dwelt safely, every one under his vine and under his fig tree, eating and drinand feasting, from Dan even to Beersheba{gr.Bersabee}, all the days of Solomon. And these [were] the princes of Solomon; Azariu son of Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest, and Orniu son of Nathan chief of the officers, and he went to his house; and Zobah{gr.Suba} the scribe, and Basa son of Achithalam recorder, and Abi son of Joab commander-in-chief, and Achire son of Edrai [was] over the levies, and Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae} over the household and over the brickwork, and Cachur the son of Nathan [was] counsellor. And Solomon had forty thousand brood mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horses. And he reigned over all the kings from the river and to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}: so Solomon the son of David reigned over Israel and Judah{gr.Juda} in Jerusalem.

 2:46 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.°
