DAVID MISVAHS SHELOMOH
And the days approach for David to die; and he misvahs Shelomoh his son, saying, 2 I go the way of all the earth: Strengthen! Manly! 3 Guard the guard of Yah Veh your Elohim! Walk in his ways! Guard his statutes and his misvoth and his judgments and his witnesses as inscribed in the torah of Mosheh - so that you comprehend in all you work and wherever you face: 4 that Yah Veh raise the word he worded concerning me, saying, If your sons guard their way, to walk at my face in truth with all their heart and with all their soul not a man of you is cut off from the throne of Yisra El. 5 And you also know what Yah Ab the son of Seruyah worked to me; what he worked to the two governors of the hosts of Yisra El - to Abi Ner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Yether - whom he slaughtered and set the blood of war in shalom - and gave the blood of war on his girdle around his loins and in the shoes on his feet. 6 And work according to your wisdom that his grayness descend not to sheol in shalom: 7 and work mercy to the sons of Barzillay the Giladiy to be of those who eat at your table: for thus they approached me when I fled the face of Abi Shalom your brother. 8 And behold, you have with you Shimi the son of Gera, a Ben Yaminiy of Bachurim who abased me with a reinforced abasement the day I went to Machanayim: and he descended to meet me at Yarden and I oathed to him by Yah Veh, saying, I deathify you not with the sword. 9 And now exonerate him not: for you are a wise man and know what you ought to work to him; and his grayness descends to sheol with blood. 10 So David lies down with his fathers entombed in the city of David: 11 and the days David reigns over Yisra El are forty years: he reigns seven years in Hebron and reigns thirty-three years in Yeru Shalem: 12 and Shelomoh settles on the throne of David his father; and his sovereigndom is established mightily. 13
ADONI YAH APPROACHES BATH SHEBA
And Adoni Yah the son of Haggith comes to Bath Sheba the mother of Shelomoh: and she says, Come you in shalom? And he says, In shalom. 14 And he says, I have a word to you. And she says, Word on. 15 And he says, You know that the sovereigndom is mine and that all Yisra El set their faces on me to reign: howbeit the sovereigndom turns around and becomes to my brother - for it is his from Yah Veh. 16 And now I ask one petition of you, turn not away my face. And she says to him, Word on. 17 And he says, Say, I pray you, to Shelomoh the sovereign, - for he turns not away your face - to give me Abi Shag the Shunemiyth to woman. 18 And Bath Sheba says, Good; I word for you to the sovereign. 19 And Bath Sheba goes to sovereign Shelomoh, to word to him for Adoni Yah: and the sovereign rises to meet her and prostrates himself to her and settles on his throne and sets a seat for the mother of the sovereign; and she settles at his right. 20 Then she says, I ask one small petition of you; Turn not away my face. And the sovereign says to her, Ask, my mother: for I turn not away your face. 21 And she says, O that Abi Shag the Shunemiyth be given to Adoni Yah your brother to woman. 22 And sovereign Shelomoh answers and says to his mother, And why ask you Abi Shag the Shunemiyth for Adoni Yah? Ask you the sovereigndom for him also? For he is my greater brother; even for him and for Abi Athar the priest and for Yah Ab the son of Seruyah. 23 Then sovereign Shelomoh oaths by Yah Veh, saying, Elohim work thus to me and add also if Adoni Yah words not this word against his own soul: 24 and now, Yah Veh lives, who established me and set me on the throne of David my father - who works me a house as he worded, Adoni Yah is deathified this day. 25 And sovereign Shelomoh sends by the hand of Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada; and he encounters on him that he dies. 26 And the sovereign says to Abi Athar the priest, Go to Anathoth - to your own fields; for you are a man of death: but I deathify you not today, because you bore the ark of Adonay Yah Veh at the face of David my father - being humbled in all wherein my father was humbled. 27 So Shelomoh expels Abi Athar from being priest to Yah Veh; to fulfill the word Yah Veh worded concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 28
YAH AB IS DEATHIFIED
And reports come to Yah Ab: for Yah Ab spread after Adoni Yah though he spread not after Abi Shalom: and Yah Ab flees to the tent of Yah Veh and holds on the horns of the sacrifice altar. 29 And they tell sovereign Shelomoh, Yah Ab flees to the tent of Yah Veh; and behold, beside the sacrifice altar. Then Shelomoh sends Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada saying, Go, encounter him. 30 And Bena Yah comes to the tent of Yah Veh and says to him, Thus says the sovereign, Go. And he says, No; but here I die. And Bena Yah returns word to the sovereign, saying, Thus Yah Ab words and thus he answers me. 31 And the sovereign says to him, Work as he worded and encounter him and entomb him; to turn aside the gratuitous blood Yah Ab poured from me and from the house of my father; 32 and Yah Veh returns his blood on his own head - who encountered two men more just and better than he and slaughtered them with the sword my father David not knowing thereof - Abi Ner the son of Ner governor of the host of Yisra El and Amasa the son of Yether governor of the host of Yah Hudah: 33 their blood returns on the head of Yah Ab and on the head of his seed eternally: but on David and on his seed and on his house and on his throne, there is shalom eternally from Yah Veh. 34 So Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada ascends and encounters him and deathifies him: and he is entombed in his own house in the wilderness: 35 and the sovereign gives Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada over the host in his stead: and the sovereign gives Sadoq the priest in the stead of Abi Athar. 36
SHIMI IS DEATHIFIED
And the sovereign sends and calls for Shimi and says to him, Build yourself a house in Yeru Shalem and settle there; and go not anywhere: 37 and so be it, the day you go and pass over the wadi Qidron, in knowing, know that in dying, you die: your blood being on your own head. 38 And Shimi says to the sovereign, Good word! As my adoni the sovereign words, thus your servant works. - and Shimi settles in Yeru Shalem many days. 39 And so be it, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimi flee to Achish son of Maachah sovereign of Gath. And Shimi is told, saying, Behold, your servants are in Gath. 40 And Shimi rises and harnesses his he burro and goes to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimi goes and brings his servants from Gath. 41 And they tell Shelomoh that Shimi goes from Yeru Shalem to Gath and returns. 42 And the sovereign sends and calls for Shimi and says to him, Did I not oath you by Yah Veh and witness to you, saying, In knowing, know that on the day you go and walk any where, that in dying, you die. - and you said to me, The word I hear is good. 43 Why then guarded you not the oath of Yah Veh and the misvah I misvahed you? 44 The sovereign says to Shimi, You know all the evil your heart perceives which you worked to David my father; and Yah Veh returns your evil on your own head: 45 and blessed - sovereign Shelomoh, and established is the throne of David at the face of Yah Veh eternally. 46 So the sovereign misvahs Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada; who goes out and encounters him that he dies. And the sovereigndom is established in the hand of Shelomoh.
DAVID MISVAHS SHELOMOH
