  [18] καὶ εἶπε Βηρσαβεέ· καλῶς· ἐγὼ λαλήσω περὶ σοῦ τῷ βασιλεῖ.

  [18] And Bersabee said, Well; I will speak for thee to the king.

  [19] καὶ εἰσῆλθε Βηρσαβεὲ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμὼν λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ περὶ ᾿Αδωνίου. 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.

  [19] And Bersabee went in to king Solomon to speak to him concerning 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.

  [20] καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· αἴτησιν μίαν μικρὰν ἐγὼ αἰτοῦμαι παρὰ σοῦ, μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεύς· αἴτησαι, μῆτερ ἐμή, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψω σε.

  [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.

  [21] καὶ εἶπε· δοθήτω δὴ ᾿Αβισὰγ ἡ Σωμανῖτις τῷ ᾿Αδωνίᾳ τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου εἰς γυναῖκα.

  [21] And she said, Let, I pray thee, Abisag the Somanite be given to Adonias thy brother to wife.

  [22] καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν καὶ εἶπε τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἱνατί σὺ ᾔτησαι τὴν ᾿Αβισὰγ τῷ ᾿Αδωνίᾳ; καὶ αἴτησαι αὐτῷ τὴν βασιλείαν, ὅτι οὗτος ἀδελφός μου ὁ μέγας ὑπὲρ ἐμέ, καὶ αὐτῷ ᾿Αβιάθαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ αὐτῷ ᾿Ιωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας ἀρχιστράτηγος ἑταῖρος.

  [22] And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why hast thou asked Abisag for 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 Saruia the commander-in-chief.

  [23] καὶ ὤμοσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου λέγων· τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, ὅτι κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἐλάλησεν ᾿Αδωνίας τὸν λόγον τοῦτον·

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

  [24] καὶ νῦν ζῇ Κύριος, ὃς ἡτοίμασέ με καὶ ἔθετό με ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐποίησέ μοι οἶκον, καθὼς ἐλάλησε Κύριος, ὅτι σήμερον θανατωθήσεται ᾿Αδωνίας.

  [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 Adonias be put to death.

  [25] καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἐν χειρὶ Βαναίου υἱοῦ ᾿Ιωδαὲ καὶ ἀνεῖλεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ᾿Αδωνίας ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.

  [25] So king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he slew him, and Adonias died in that day.

  [26] Καὶ τῷ ᾿Αβιάθαρ τῷ ἱερεῖ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἀπότρεχε σὺ εἰς ᾿Αναθὼθ 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.

  [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.

  [27] καὶ ἐξέβαλε Σαλωμὼν τὸν ᾿Αβιάθαρ τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἱερέα τοῦ Κυρίου, πληρωθῆναι τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον ῾Ηλὶ ἐν Σηλώμ.

  [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 Heli in Selom.

  [28] καὶ ἡ ἀκοὴ ἦλθεν ἕως ᾿Ιωὰβ υἱοῦ Σαρουΐας (ὅτι ᾿Ιωὰβ ἦν κεκλικὼς ὀπίσω ᾿Αδωνίου, καὶ ὀπίσω Σαλωμὼν οὐκ ἔκλινε), καὶ ἔφυγεν ᾿Ιωὰβ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ κατέσχε τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.

  [28] And the report came to Joab son of Saruia; for Joab had turned after 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.

  [29] καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαλωμὼν λέγοντες ὅτι πέφυγεν ᾿Ιωὰβ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ ἰδοὺ κατέχει τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαλωμὼν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ λέγων· τί γέγονέ σοι, ὅτι πέφυγας εἰς τὸ θυσιαστήριον; καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωάβ· ὅτι ἐφοβήθην ἀπὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ ἔφυγον πρὸς Κύριον. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαλωμὼν τὸν Βαναίου υἱὸν ᾿Ιωδαὲ λέγων· πορεύου καὶ ἄνελε αὐτὸν καὶ θάψον αὐτόν.

  [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 Banaeas son of Jodae, saying, Go and slay him, and bury him.

  [30] καὶ ἦλθε Βαναίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωδαὲ πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς· ἔξελθε. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωάβ· οὐκ ἐκπορεύομαι, ὅτι ὧδε ἀποθανοῦμαι. καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Βαναίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωδαὲ καὶ εἶπε τῷ βασιλεῖ λέγων· τάδε λελάληκεν ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ τάδε ἀποκέκριταί μοι.

  [30] And Banaeas son of 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 Banaeas son of Jodae returned and spoke to the king, saying, Thus has Joab spoken, and thus has he answered me.

  [31] καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· πορεύου καὶ ποίησον αὐτῷ καθὼς εἴρηκε, καὶ ἄνελε αὐτὸν καὶ θάψεις αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξαρεῖς σήμερον τὸ αἷμα, ὃ δωρεὰν ἐξέχεεν ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου·

  [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.

  [32] καὶ ἐπέστεψε Κύριος τὸ αἷμα τῆς ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ εἰς κ
εφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἀπήντησε τοῖς δυσὶν ἀνθρώποις τοῖς δικαίοις καὶ ἀγαθοῖς ὑπὲρ αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ρομφαίᾳ, καὶ ὁ πατήρ μου Δαυὶδ οὐκ ἔγνω τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν, τὸν ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱὸν Νὴρ ἀρχιστράτηγον ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ τὸν ᾿Αμεσσὰ υἱὸν ᾿Ιεθὲρ ἀρχιστράτηγον ᾿Ιούδα·

  [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 Abenner the son of Ner the commander-in-chief of Israel, and Amessa the son of Jether the commander-in-chief of Juda.

  [33] καὶ 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.

  [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.

  [34] καὶ ἀνέβη Βαναίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωδαὲ καὶ ἀπήντησε αὐτῷ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔθαψεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

  [34] So Banaeas son of Jodae went up, and attacked him, and slew him, and buried him in his house in the wilderness.

  [35] καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Βαναίου υἱὸν ᾿Ιωδαὲ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν στρατηγίαν· καὶ ἡ βασιλεία κατωρθοῦτο ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· καὶ Σαδὼκ τὸν ἱερέα ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς ἱερέα πρῶτον ἀντὶ ᾿Αβιάθαρ.

  [35] And the king appointed Banaeas son of Jodae in his place over the host; and the kingdom was established in Jerusalem; and as for Sadoc the priest, the king appointed him to be high priest in the room of Abiathar.

  [35]α Καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος φρόνησιν τῷ Σαλωμὼν καὶ σοφίαν πολλὴν σφόδρα καὶ πλάτος καρδίας, ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν.

  [35a] and the Lord gave understanding to Solomon, and very much wisdom, and largeness of heart, as the sand by the sea-shore.

  [35]β καὶ ἐπληθύνθη ἡ φρόνησις Σαλωμὼν σφόδρα ὑπὲρ τὴν φρόνησιν πάντων υἱῶν ἀρχαίων καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντας φρονίμους Αἰγύπτου.

  [35b] And the wisdom of Solomon abounded exceedingly beyond the wisdom of all the ancients, and beyond all the wise men of Egypt:

  [35]γ 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 ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ κυκλόθεν· ἐν ἑπτὰ ἔτεσιν ἐποίησε καὶ συνετέλεσε.

  [35c] and he took the daughter of Pharao, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the Lord first, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. In seven years he made and finished them.

  [35]δ καὶ ἦν τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδας αἴροντες ἄρσιν καὶ ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδας λατόμων ἐν τῷ ὄρει.

  [35d] And Solomon had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eight thousand hewers of stone in the mountain:

  [35]ε καὶ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὰ ὑποστηρίγματα καὶ τοὺς λουτῆρας τοὺς μεγάλους καὶ τοὺς στύλους καὶ τὴν κρήνην τῆς αὐλῆς καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν.

  [35e] and Solomon made the sea, and the bases, and the great lavers, and the pillars, and the fountain of the court, and the brazen sea

  [35]ζ καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ἄκραν καὶ τὰς ἐπάλξεις αὐτῆς καὶ διέκοψε τὴν πόλιν Δαυίδ· οὕτως θυγάτηρ Φαραὼ ἀνέβαινεν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Δαυὶδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτῇ· τότε ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ἄκραν.

  [35f] and he built the citadel as a defence above it, he made a breach in the wall of the city of David: thus the daughter of Pharao went up out of the city of David to her house which he built for her. Then he built the citadel:

  [35]η 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.

  [35g] and Solomon offered up three whole-burnt-offerings in the year, and peace-offerings on the altar which he built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord, and finished the house.

  [35]θ καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες οἱ καθεσταμένοι ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Σαλωμών· τρεῖς χιλιάδες καὶ ἑξακόσιοι ἐπιστάται τοῦ λαοῦ τῶν ποιούντων τὰ ἔργα.

  [35h] And these are the chief persons who presided over the works of Solomon; three thousand and six hundred masters of the people that wrought the works.

  [35]ι καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ᾿Ασσοὺρ καὶ τὴν Μαγδὼ καὶ τὴν Γαζὲρ καὶ τὴν Βαιθωρὼν τὴν ἐπάνω καὶ τὰ Βααλάθ·

  [35i] And he burit Assur, and Magdo, and Gazer, and upper Baethoron, and Ballath:

  [35]κ πλὴν μετὰ τὸ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτὸν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ τὸ τεῖχος ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ κύκλῳ, μετὰ ταῦτα ᾠκοδόμησε τὰς πόλεις ταύτας. 35λ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτι Δαυὶδ ζῆν ἐνετείλατο τῷ Σαλωμὼν λέγων· ἰδοὺ μετὰ σοῦ Σεμεΐ υἱὸς Γηρὰ υἱὸς τοῦ σπέρματος τοῦ ᾿Ιεμενὶ ἐκ Χεβρών·

  [35j] only after he had built the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about, afterwards he built these cities. And when David was yet living, he charged Solomon, saying, Behold, there is with thee Semei the son of Gera, of the seed of Benjamin out of Chebron:

  [35]μ οὗτος κατηράσατό με κατάραν ὀδυνηρὰν ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐπορευόμην εἰς Παρεμβολάς,

  [35k] he cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went into the camp;

  [35]ν καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβαινεν εἰς ἀπαντὴν μοι ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην καὶ ὤμοσα αὐτῷ κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου λέγων· εἰ θανατωθήσεται ἐν ρομφαίᾳ·

  [35l] and he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, He shall not be slain with the sword.

  [35]ξ καὶ νῦν μὴ ἀθωώσῃς αὐτόν, ὅτι ἀνὴρ φρόνιμος σὺ καὶ γνώσῃ ἃ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ, καὶ κατάξεις τὴν πολιὰν αὐτοῦ ἐν αἵματι εἰς ᾅδου.

  [36m] But now do not thou hold him guiltless, for thou art a man of understanding, and thou wilt know what thou shalt do to hi
m, and thou shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to the grave.

  [36] Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Σεμεΐ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· οἰκοδόμησον σεαυτῷ οἶκον ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ κάθου ἐκεῖ καὶ οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ ἐκεῖθεν οὐδαμοῦ·

  [36] And the king called Semei, and said to him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and thou shalt not go out thence any whither.

  [37] καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς ἐξόδου σου καὶ διαβήσῃ τὸν χειμάρρουν Κέδρων, γινώσκων γνώσῃ ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ, τὸ αἷμά σου ἔσται ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου. καὶ ὥρκισεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.

  [37] And it shall come to pass in the day that thou shalt go forth and cross over the brook 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.

  [38] καὶ εἶπε Σεμεΐ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἀγαθὸν τὸ ρῆμα, ὃ ἐλάλησας, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ· οὕτω ποιήσει ὁ δοῦλός σου. καὶ ἐκάθισε Σεμεΐ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ τρία ἔτη.

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

  [39] καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ τὰ τρία ἔτη καὶ ἀπέδρασαν δύο δοῦλοι τοῦ Σεμεΐ πρὸς ᾿Αγχοὺς υἱὸν Μααχὰ βασιλέα Γέθ, καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σεμεΐ λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ οἱ δοῦλοί σου ἐν Γέθ.

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