2 Revised Standard Version Passage Biblia Hebraica

26And to Abi'athar the priest the king said, "Go to An'athoth, to your estate; for you deserve death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because you shared in all the affliction of my father."Abiathar's banishment - death of Joab. 1Kgs.2.26-35וּלְאֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּהֵן אָמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ עֲנָתֹת לֵךְ עַל־שָׂדֶיךָ כִּי אִישׁ מָוֶת אָתָּה וּבַיֹּום הַזֶּה לֹא אֲמִיתֶךָ כִּי־נָשָׂאתָ אֶת־אֲרֹון אֲדֹנָי יְהֹוִה לִפְנֵי דָּוִד אָבִי וְכִי הִתְעַנִּיתָ בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־הִתְעַנָּה אָבִי׃
27So Solomon expelled Abi'athar from being priest to the LORD, thus fulfilling the word of the LORD which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. וַיְגָרֶשׁ שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־אֶבְיָתָר מִהְיֹות כֹּהֵן לַיהוָה לְמַלֵּא אֶת־דְּבַר יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר עַל־בֵּית עֵלִי בְּשִׁלֹה׃ ף
28When the news came to Jo'ab - for Jo'ab had supported Adoni'jah although he had not supported Ab'salom -Jo'ab fled to the tent of the LORD and caught hold of the horns of the altar. וְהַשְּׁמֻעָה בָּאָה עַד־יֹואָב כִּי יֹואָב נָטָה אַחֲרֵי אֲדֹנִיָּה וְאַחֲרֵי אַבְשָׁלֹום לֹא נָטָה וַיָּנָס יֹואָב אֶל־אֹהֶל יְהוָה וַיַּחֲזֵק בְּקַרְנֹות הַמִּזְבֵּחַ׃
29And when it was told King Solomon, "Jo'ab has fled to the tent of the LORD, and behold, he is beside the altar," Solomon sent Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada, saying, "Go, strike him down." וַיֻּגַּד לַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה כִּי נָס יֹואָב אֶל־אֹהֶל יְהוָה וְהִנֵּה אֵצֶל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וַיִּשְׁלַח שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת־בְּנָיָהוּ בֶן־יְהֹויָדָע לֵאמֹר לֵךְ פְּגַע־בֹּו׃
30So Benai'ah came to the tent of the LORD, and said to him, "The king commands, 'Come forth.'" But he said, "No, I will die here." Then Benai'ah brought the king word again, saying, "Thus said Jo'ab, and thus he answered me." וַיָּבֹא בְנָיָהוּ אֶל־אֹהֶל יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֹּה־אָמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ צֵא וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא כִּי פֹה אָמוּת וַיָּשֶׁב בְּנָיָהוּ אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּבָר לֵאמֹר כֹּה־דִבֶּר יֹואָב וְכֹה עָנָנִי׃
31The king replied to him, "Do as he has said, strike him down and bury him; and thus take away from me and from my father's house the guilt for the blood which Jo'ab shed without cause. וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו הַמֶּלֶךְ עֲשֵׂה כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר וּפְגַע־בֹּו וּקְבַרְתֹּו וַהֲסִירֹתָ דְּמֵי חִנָּם אֲשֶׁר שָׁפַךְ יֹואָב מֵעָלַי וּמֵעַל בֵּית אָבִי׃
32The LORD will bring back his bloody deeds upon his own head, because, without the knowledge of my father David, he attacked and slew with the sword two men more righteous and better than himself, Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Ama'sa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah. וְהֵשִׁיב יְהוָה אֶת־דָּמֹו עַל־רֹאשֹׁו אֲשֶׁר פָּגַע בִּשְׁנֵי־אֲנָשִׁים צַדִּקִים וְטֹבִים מִמֶּנּוּ וַיַּהַרְגֵמ בַּחֶרֶב וְאָבִי דָוִד לֹא יָדָע אֶת־אַבְנֵר בֶּן־נֵר שַׂר־צְבָא יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֶת־עֲמָשָׂא בֶן־יֶתֶר שַׂר־צְבָא יְהוּדָה׃
33So shall their blood come back upon the head of Jo'ab and upon the head of his descendants for ever; but to David, and to his descendants, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace from the LORD for evermore." וְשָׁבוּ דְמֵיהֶם בְּרֹאשׁ יֹואָב וּבְרֹאשׁ זַרְעֹו לְעֹלָם וּלְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעֹו וּלְבֵיתֹו וּלְכִסְאֹו יִהְיֶה שָׁלֹום עַד־עֹולָם מֵעִם יְהוָה׃
34Then Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada went up, and struck him down and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness. וַיַּעַל בְּנָיָהוּ בֶּן־יְהֹויָדָע וַיִּפְגַּע־בֹּו וַיְמִתֵהוּ וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּבֵיתֹו בַּמִּדְבָּר׃
35The king put Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada over the army in place of Jo'ab, and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abi'athar. וַיִּתֵּן הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־בְּנָיָהוּ בֶן־יְהֹויָדָע תַּחְתָּיו עַל־הַצָּבָא וְאֶת־צָדֹוק הַכֹּהֵן נָתַן הַמֶּלֶךְ תַּחַת אֶבְיָתָר׃
