3 Og hold HERREN din Guds Forskrifter, så du vandrer på hans Veje og, holder hans Anordninger, Bud, Bestemmelser og Vidnesbyrd, således som skrevet står i Mose Lov, for at du må have Lykken med dig i alt, hvad du gør, og i alt, hvad du tager dig for,
3 Keep the charge of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to what is written in the Law of Moses, that you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn,
4 for at HERREN kan opfylde den Forjættelse, han gav mig, da han sagde: Hvis dine Sønner vogter på deres Vej, så de vandrer i Trofasthed for mit Åsyn af hele deres Hjerte og hele deres Sjæl, skal der aldrig fattes dig en Efterfølger på Israels Trone!
4 so that the Lord may carry out His promise which He spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your sons are careful of their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’
5 Du ved jo også, hvad Joab, Zerujas Søn, har voldet mig, hvorledes han handlede mod Israels to Hærførere, Abner, Ners Søn, og Amasa, Jeters Søn, hvorledes han slog dem ihjel og således i Fredstid hævnede Blod, der var udgydt i Krig, og besudlede Bæltet om min Lænd og Skoene på mine Fødder med uskyldigt Blod;
5 “Now you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt about his waist, and on his sandals on his feet.
7 Men mod Gileaditen Barzillajs Sønner skal du vise Godhed, og de skal have Plads mellem dem, der spiser ved dit Bord, thi på den Måde kom de mig i Møde, da jeg måtte flygte for din Broder Absalom.
7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for they assisted me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
8 Og se, så har du hos dig Benjaminiten Simeon, Geras Søn, fra Bahurim, ham, som udslyngede en grufuld Forbandelse imod mig, dengang jeg drog til Mahanajim. Da han senere kom mig i Møde ved Jordan, tilsvor jeg ham ved HERREN: Jeg vil ikke slå dig ihjel med Sværd!
8 Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’
9 Men du skal ikke lade ham ustraffet, thi du er en klog Mand og vil vide, hvorledes du skal handle med ham, og bringe hans grå Hår blodige ned i Dødsriget."
9 Now therefore, do not let him go unpunished, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you will bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood.”
15 Da sagde han: "Du ved at Kongeværdigheden tilkom mig, og at hele Israel havde Blikket rettet på mig som den, der skulde være Konge; dog gik Kongeværdigbeden over til min Broder, thi HERREN lod det tilfalde ham.
15 So he said, “You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel expected me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother’s, for it was his from the Lord.
19 Derpå begav Batseba sig til Kong Salomo for at tale Adonijas Sag; og Kongen rejste sig, gik hende i Møde og bøjede sig for hende; derpå satte han sig på sin Trone og lod også en Trone sætte frem til Kongemoderen, og hun satte sig ved hans højre Side.
19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king arose to meet her, bowed before her, and sat on his throne; then he had a throne set for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right.
22 Men Kong Salomo svarede sin Moder: "Hvorfor beder du om Abisjag fra Sjunem til Adonija? Du skulde hellere bede om Kongeværdigheden til ham; han er jo min ældre Broder, og Præsten Ebjatar og Joab, Zerujas Søn, står på hans Side!"
22 King Solomon answered and said to his mother, “And why are you asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him also the kingdom—for he is my older brother—even for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah!”
24 Så sandt HERREN lever, som indsatte mig og gav mig Plads på min Fader Davids Trone og byggede mig et Hus, som han lovede: Endnu i Dag skal Adonija miste Livet!"
24 Now therefore, as the Lord lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father and who has made me a house as He promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today.”
26 Men til Præsten Ebjatar sagde Kongen: "Begiv dig til din Landejendom i Anatot, thi du har forbrudt dit Liv; og når jeg ikke dræber dig i Dag, er det, fordi du bar den Herre HERRENs Ark foran min Fader David og delte alle min Faders Lidelser!"
26 Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord God before my father David, and because you were afflicted in everything with which my father was afflicted.”
28 Da Rygtet, herom nåede Joab - Joab havde jo sluttet sig til Adonijas Parti, medens han ikke havde sluttet sig til Absaloms - søgte han Tilflugt i HERRENs Telt og greb fat om Alterets Horn,
28 Now the news came to Joab, for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he had not followed Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of the Lord and took hold of the horns of the altar.
29 og det meldtes Kong Salomo, at Joab havde søgt Tilflugt i HERRENs Telt og stod ved Alteret. Da sendte Salomo Benaja, Jojadas Søn, derhen og sagde: "Gå hen og hug ham ned!"
29 It was told King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of the Lord, and behold, he is beside the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall upon him.”
30 Og da Benaja kom til HERRENs Telt, sagde han til ham: "Således siger Kongen: Kom herud!" Men han svarede: "Nej, her vil jeg dø!" Benaja meldte da tilbage til Kongen, hvad Joab havde sagt og svaret ham.
30 So Benaiah came to the tent of the Lord and said to him, “Thus the king has said, ‘Come out.’” But he said, “No, for I will die here.” And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “Thus spoke Joab, and thus he answered me.”
31 Men Kongen sagde til ham: "Så gør, som han siger, hug ham ned og jord ham og fri mig og min Faders Hus for det uskyldige Blod, Joab har udgydt;
31 The king said to him, “Do as he has spoken and fall upon him and bury him, that you may remove from me and from my father’s house the blood which Joab shed without cause.
32 HERREN vil lade hans Blodskyld komme over hans eget Hoved, at han huggede to Mænd ned, der var retfærdigere og bedre end han selv, og slog dem ihjel med Sværdet uden min Fader Davids Vidende, Abner, Ners Søn, Israels Hærfører, og Amasa, Jeters Søn, Judas Hærfører;
32 The Lord will return his blood on his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he and killed them with the sword, while my father David did not know it: Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.
33 så kommer deres Blod over Joabs og hans, Slægts Hoved evindelig, medens HERREN giver David og hans Slægt, hans Hus og hans Trone Fred til evig Tid!"
33 So shall their blood return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever; but to David and his descendants and his house and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord forever.”
39 Men efter tre Års Forløb flygtede to af Simeis Trælle til Ma'akas Søn, Kong Akisj af Gat, og da Simei fik at vide, at hans Trælle var i Gat,
39 But it came about at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, “Behold, your servants are in Gath.”
42 lod Kongen ham kalde og sagde til ham: "Tog jeg dig ikke i Ed ved HERREN, og advarede jeg dig ikke: Den Dag du drager bort og begiver dig andetsteds hen, hvor det end er, må du vide, du er dødsens! Og svarede du mig ikke: Godt! Jeg har hørt det?
42 So the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the Lord and solemnly warn you, saying, ‘You will know for certain that on the day you depart and go anywhere, you shall surely die’? And you said to me, ‘The word which I have heard is good.’
44 Endvidere sagde Kongen til Simei: "Du ved selv, og dit Hjerte er sig det bevidst, alt det onde, du gjorde min Fader David; nu lader HERREN din Ondskab komme over dit eget Hoved;
44 The king also said to Shimei, “You know all the evil which you acknowledge in your heart, which you did to my father David; therefore the Lord shall return your evil on your own head.
