Wixii Daa'uud Ku Amray Sulaymaan

Haddaba waxaa soo dhowaaday wakhtigii Daa'uud dhiman lahaa; oo wuxuu amray wiilkiisii Sulaymaan oo ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan marayaa jidka dadka dhulka oo dhan; haddaba xoog yeelo, oo raganimadaada muuji, oo Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahna amarkiisa xaji, si aad jidadkiisa ugu socoto, oo aad u dhawrto qaynuunnadiisa, iyo amarradiisa, iyo xukummadiisa, iyo markhaatifurkiisa, si waafaqsan waxa ku qoran sharciga Muuse inaad ku liibaantid waxa aad samaynaysid oo dhan, iyo meel kastoo aad u jeesatoba; inuu Rabbigu oofiyo eraygiisii uu igaga hadlay, isagoo leh, Carruurtaadu hadday jidkooda dhawraan, oo ay qalbigooda oo dhan iyo naftooda oo dhanba si run ah hortayda ugu socdaan, waayi maysid nin carshiga dalka Israa'iil ku fadhiista. Oo weliba waad og tahay wixii uu Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay igu sameeyey, ee uu ku sameeyey labadii sirkaal oo ciidanka dalka Israa'iil, kuwaasoo ahaa Abneer ina Neer, iyo Camaasaa ina Yeter, ee uu labadaba dilay, iyo inuu wakhtiga nabadda dhiiggii dagaalka daadiyey, oo uu dhiiggii dagaalkana mariyey dhex-xidhkiisa dhexda ugu xidhnaa, iyo kabahiisa cagaha ugu jiray. Haddaba wixii kula wanaagsan samee, oo cirrada madaxiisu yaanay nabad ku gelin xabaasha. Laakiinse u roonow wiilasha Barsillay kan reer Gilecaad, oo iyagu ha noqdeen kuwa ka mid ah kuwa miiskaaga wax ka cuna, waayo, saasay iigu yimaadeen markaan walaalkaa Absaaloom ka cararay. Oo bal eeg, waxaa kula jooga Shimcii ina Geeraa, oo ah reer Benyaamiinka deggan Baxuuriim, kaasoo habaar xun igu habaaray maalintii aan Maxanayim tegey; laakiinse wuu igaga hor yimid Webi Urdun, oo i soo dhoweeyey, oo anna waxaan isaga ugu dhaartay oo ku idhi, Seef kugu dili maayo. Sidaas daraaddeed inuu eedlaawe yahay ha u qaadan, waayo, waxaad tahay nin xigmad leh, oo waad garan doontaa waxa kuu eg inaad ku samayso, oo waa inaad cirrada madaxiisa dhiig xabaasha la gelisaa. 10 Oo Daa'uudna wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii Daa'uud. 11 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil boqor u ahaa afartan sannadood; toddoba sannadood ayuu Xebroon ka taliyey, saddex iyo soddon sannadoodna ayuu Yeruusaalem ka taliyey.

12 Oo Sulaymaanna wuxuu ku fadhiistay carshigii aabbihiis Daa'uud, oo boqortooyadiisiina way sii dhisnaatay.

Boqornimadii Sulaymaan Oo Dhisantay

13 Markaasaa Adoniiyaah oo ay Haggiid dhashay u yimid Batshebac oo ahayd Sulaymaan hooyadiis. Oo iyana waxay ku tidhi, War ma nabad baad ku timid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Haah, nabad baan ku imid. 14 Oo weliba wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Muraad baan kaa leeyahay, iyana waxay tidhi, Bal ii sheeg. 15 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Waad og tahay inaan boqortooyada lahaa, oo ay dadkii dalka Israa'iil oo dhammu fiiro ii lahaayeen inaan boqor u noqdo, habase yeeshee boqortooyadii way rogmatay, oo waxaa yeeshay walaalkay, waayo, xagga Rabbiga buu ka helay. 16 Haddaba wax baan ku weyddiisanayaa, hana ii diidin. Iyana waxay tidhi, Bal ii sheeg. 17 Markaasuu yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, iila hadal Boqor Sulaymaan inuu i siiyo Abiishag tan reer Shuuneem aan guursadee, (waayo, Maya, ku odhan maayo.) 18 Markaasaa Batshebac waxay tidhi, Waa hagaag, boqorka waan kuula hadli doonaa. 19 Sidaas daraaddeed Batshebac waxay u tagtay Boqor Sulaymaan inay ula hadasho Adoniiyaah. Boqorkiina wuu u sara joogsaday inuu iyada soo dhoweeyo, wuuna u foororsaday iyadii, markaasuu carshigiisii ku fadhiistay, oo wuxuu amray in carshi loo dhigo hooyadiis, markaasay midigtiisa fadhiisatay. 20 Kolkaasay tidhi, Wax yar baan kaa baryayaaye, hana ii diidin. Boqorkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Hooyoy, ii sheeg, waayo, kuu diidi maayo. 21 Markaasay tidhi, Abiishag tan reer Shuuneem ha la siiyo walaalkaa Adoniiyaah ha guursadee. 22 Kolkaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan hooyadiis ugu jawaabay, Abiishag tan reer Shuuneem maxaad Adoniiyaah ugu doonaysaa? Haddaba boqortooyadana u doon, waayo, isagu waa walaalkay iga weyn, u doon isaga, iyo wadaadka Aabyaataar, iyo Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay. 23 Markaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan Rabbiga ku dhaartay, oo yidhi, Hadalkan uu Adoniiyaah ku hadlay hadduusan naftiisa ka gees noqon, Ilaah ha igu sameeyo saas iyo si ka sii badanba. 24 Haddaba waxaan ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbigii xoogga ii yeelay, oo igu fadhiisiyey carshigii aabbahay Daa'uud, oo reerka iigu yeelay siduu iigu ballanqaaday, hubaal Adoniiyaah maanta waa la dilayaa. 25 Markaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan u diray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, oo isna wuu dilay, Adoniiyaahna waa dhintay. 26 Oo boqorkiina wuxuu wadaadkii Aabyaataar ahaa ku yidhi, Waxaad tagtaa Canaatood iyo ilaa beerahaagii, waayo, waxaad istaahishaa in lagu dilo, laakiinse haatan ku dili maayo, waayo, aabbahay Daa'uud waad ku hor sidi jirtay sanduuqii Sayidka Rabbiga ah, oo waxaa lagugu dhibi jiray wax kasta oo aabbahay lagu dhibi jiray. 27 Sidaasuu Sulaymaan Aabyaataar uga eryay wadaadnimadii Rabbiga inuu oofiyo Eraygii Rabbiga ee uu kaga hadlay reerka Ceelii xagga Shiiloh. 28 Markaasaa warkii u yimid Yoo'aab, waayo, Yoo'aab wuxuu raacay Adoniiyaah in kastoo uusan raacin Absaaloom. Kolkaasaa Yoo'aab u cararay Teendhadii Rabbiga, oo qabsaday geesihii meeshii allabariga. 29 Markaasaa taas loo soo sheegay Boqor Sulaymaan, oo lagu yidhi, Yoo'aab Teendhadii Rabbiga ayuu u cararay, oo wuxuu ag jooga meeshii allabariga. Dabadeedna Sulaymaan wuxuu diray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag oo soo dil. 30 Markaasaa Benaayaah Teendhadii Rabbiga soo galay oo ku yidhi, Boqorkii wuxuu leeyahay, Soo bax. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Maya, laakiinse halkanaan ku dhimanayaa. Oo Benaayaah haddana boqorkii buu u war keenay oo ku yidhi, Yoo'aab saasuu yidhi, oo saasuu iigu jawaabay. 31 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Siduu kugu yidhi yeel, oo dil isaga, oo soo xabaal, inaad aniga iyo reerka aabbahayba naga dul qaaddid dhiiggii Yoo'aab sababla'aanta ku daadiyey. 32 Oo Rabbiguna dhiiggiisa wuxuu ku celin doonaa madaxiisa, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu dilay laba nin oo isaga ka xaq badan oo ka wanaagsan, seef buuna ku dilay, aabbahay Daa'uudna taas waxba kama ogayn, oo kuwaasuna waxay ahaayeen Abneer ina Neer oo sirkaal u ahaa ciidanka dalka Israa'iil, iyo Camaasaa ina Yeter oo sirkaal u ahaa ciidanka dalka Yahuudah. 33 Saas aawadeed dhiiggoodii wuxuu ku noqon doonaa madaxa Yoo'aab, iyo madaxa farcankiisa weligiis, laakiinse Daa'uud, iyo farcankiisa, iyo reerkiisa, iyo carshigiisaba nabad baa xagga Rabbiga uga ahaan doonta weligeed. 34 Markaasaa Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac tegey, oo intuu ku kor dhacay ayuu dilay, oo waxaa lagu aasay gurigiisii cidlada ku yiil. 35 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu meeshiisii ku beddelay oo ciidankii madax uga dhigay Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac. Oo meeshii Aabyaataarna wuxuu ku beddelay wadaadkii Saadooq ahaa. 36 Markaasaa boqorkii u cid diray oo u yeedhay Shimcii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yeruusaalem guri ka dhiso, oo halkaas iska deg, oo mar dambe meella ha uga bixin. 37 Waayo, maalintii aad baxdo oo aad durdurka Qidroon ka gudubto, bal ogow hubaal inaad dhimanayso; dhiiggaaguna madaxaaguu ku oolli doonaa. 38 Markaasaa Shimcii boqorkii ku yidhi, Hadalkaasu waa wanaagsan yahay, oo sidaad tidhi, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waan yeeli doonaa, anigoo addoonkaaga ah. Oo Shimciina wakhti dheer ayuu Yeruusaalem degganaa. 39 Oo saddex sannadood dabadood, laba addoon oo Shimcii kuwiis ah ayaa u cararay xagga Aakiish ina Macakaah oo ahaa boqorkii Gad. 40 Markaasaa Shimcii kacay, oo dameerkiisii kooraystay, oo wuxuu u tegey Aakiish oo Gad jooga inuu addoommadiisii ka doonto; oo Shimcii wuu tegey oo addoommadiisii ka soo kaxaystay Gad. 41 Markaasaa Sulaymaan waxaa loo soo sheegay in Shimcii Yeruusaalem ka kacay, oo uu Gad tegey, oo uu haddana soo noqday. 42 Markaasaa boqorkii u cid diray oo Shimcii u yeedhay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War miyaanan Rabbiga kugu dhaarin, oo aanan hore kuugu sii sheegin, oo aanan kugu odhan, Ogow oo hubso, inaad xaqiiqa dhimanaysid maalintii aad baxdid oo aad meel kale u kacdid? Oo adna sow iguma aadan odhan, Hadalkaan maqlay waa wanaagsan yahay? 43 Haddaba maxaad u dhawri weyday dhaartii Rabbiga iyo amarkii aan kugu amray? 44 Weliba boqorkii wuxuu Shimcii ku yidhi, Waad wada og tahay sharka qalbigaaga ku jira oo aad aabbahay Daa'uud ku samaysay. Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu sharkaagii wuxuu ku soo celin doonaa madaxaaga. 45 Laakiinse anoo Boqor Sulaymaan ahu waan barakaysnaan doonaa, oo carshiga Daa'uudna weligiis wuu ku sii dhisnaan doonaa Rabbiga hortiisa. 46 Sidaas daraaddeed ayaa boqorkii amray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac; kolkaasuu isna tegey oo dilay Shimcii, wuuna dhintay. Oo boqortooyadiina waxay ku sii dhisnaatay gacantii Sulaymaan.

David’s Charge to Solomon(A)

When the time drew near for David to die,(B) he gave a charge to Solomon his son.

“I am about to go the way of all the earth,”(C) he said. “So be strong,(D) act like a man, and observe(E) what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper(F) in all you do and wherever you go and that the Lord may keep his promise(G) to me: ‘If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully(H) before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’

“Now you yourself know what Joab(I) son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to the two commanders of Israel’s armies, Abner(J) son of Ner and Amasa(K) son of Jether. He killed them, shedding their blood in peacetime as if in battle, and with that blood he stained the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet. Deal with him according to your wisdom,(L) but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace.

“But show kindness(M) to the sons of Barzillai(N) of Gilead and let them be among those who eat at your table.(O) They stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.

“And remember, you have with you Shimei(P) son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who called down bitter curses on me the day I went to Mahanaim.(Q) When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore(R) to him by the Lord: ‘I will not put you to death by the sword.’ But now, do not consider him innocent. You are a man of wisdom;(S) you will know what to do to him. Bring his gray head down to the grave in blood.”

10 Then David rested with his ancestors and was buried(T) in the City of David.(U) 11 He had reigned(V) forty years over Israel—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem. 12 So Solomon sat on the throne(W) of his father David, and his rule was firmly established.(X)

Solomon’s Throne Established

13 Now Adonijah,(Y) the son of Haggith, went to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. Bathsheba asked him, “Do you come peacefully?”(Z)

He answered, “Yes, peacefully.” 14 Then he added, “I have something to say to you.”

“You may say it,” she replied.

15 “As you know,” he said, “the kingdom was mine. All Israel looked to me as their king. But things changed, and the kingdom has gone to my brother; for it has come to him from the Lord. 16 Now I have one request to make of you. Do not refuse me.”

“You may make it,” she said.

17 So he continued, “Please ask King Solomon—he will not refuse you—to give me Abishag(AA) the Shunammite as my wife.”

18 “Very well,” Bathsheba replied, “I will speak to the king for you.”

19 When Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, the king stood up to meet her, bowed down to her and sat down on his throne. He had a throne brought for the king’s mother,(AB) and she sat down at his right hand.(AC)

20 “I have one small request to make of you,” she said. “Do not refuse me.”

The king replied, “Make it, my mother; I will not refuse you.”

21 So she said, “Let Abishag(AD) the Shunammite be given in marriage to your brother Adonijah.”

22 King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag(AE) the Shunammite for Adonijah? You might as well request the kingdom for him—after all, he is my older brother(AF)—yes, for him and for Abiathar(AG) the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah!”

23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord: “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely,(AH) if Adonijah does not pay with his life for this request! 24 And now, as surely as the Lord lives—he who has established me securely on the throne of my father David and has founded a dynasty for me as he promised(AI)—Adonijah shall be put to death today!” 25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah(AJ) son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died.(AK)

26 To Abiathar(AL) the priest the king said, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth.(AM) You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark(AN) of the Sovereign Lord before my father David and shared all my father’s hardships.”(AO) 27 So Solomon removed Abiathar from the priesthood of the Lord, fulfilling(AP) the word the Lord had spoken at Shiloh about the house of Eli.

28 When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah though not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the Lord and took hold of the horns(AQ) of the altar. 29 King Solomon was told that Joab had fled to the tent of the Lord and was beside the altar.(AR) Then Solomon ordered Benaiah(AS) son of Jehoiada, “Go, strike him down!”

30 So Benaiah entered the tent(AT) of the Lord and said to Joab, “The king says, ‘Come out!(AU)’”

But he answered, “No, I will die here.”

Benaiah reported to the king, “This is how Joab answered me.”

31 Then the king commanded Benaiah, “Do as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so clear me and my whole family of the guilt of the innocent blood(AV) that Joab shed. 32 The Lord will repay(AW) him for the blood he shed,(AX) because without my father David knowing it he attacked two men and killed them with the sword. Both of them—Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa(AY) son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army—were better(AZ) men and more upright than he. 33 May the guilt of their blood rest on the head of Joab and his descendants forever. But on David and his descendants, his house and his throne, may there be the Lord’s peace forever.”

34 So Benaiah(BA) son of Jehoiada went up and struck down Joab(BB) and killed him, and he was buried at his home out in the country. 35 The king put Benaiah(BC) son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab’s position and replaced Abiathar with Zadok(BD) the priest.

36 Then the king sent for Shimei(BE) and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else. 37 The day you leave and cross the Kidron Valley,(BF) you can be sure you will die; your blood will be on your own head.”(BG)

38 Shimei answered the king, “What you say is good. Your servant will do as my lord the king has said.” And Shimei stayed in Jerusalem for a long time.

39 But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran off to Achish(BH) son of Maakah, king of Gath, and Shimei was told, “Your slaves are in Gath.” 40 At this, he saddled his donkey and went to Achish at Gath in search of his slaves. So Shimei went away and brought the slaves back from Gath.

41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned, 42 the king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the Lord and warn(BI) you, ‘On the day you leave to go anywhere else, you can be sure you will die’? At that time you said to me, ‘What you say is good. I will obey.’ 43 Why then did you not keep your oath to the Lord and obey the command I gave you?”

44 The king also said to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wrong(BJ) you did to my father David. Now the Lord will repay you for your wrongdoing. 45 But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will remain secure(BK) before the Lord forever.”

46 Then the king gave the order to Benaiah(BL) son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei(BM) down and he died.

The kingdom was now established(BN) in Solomon’s hands.
