2:17 他说,求你请所罗门王将书念的女子亚比煞赐我为妻,因他必不推辞你。
And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
2:18 拔示巴说,好,我必为你对王提说。
And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
2:19 于是,拔示巴去见所罗门王,要为亚多尼雅提说。王起来迎接,向她下拜,就坐在位上,吩咐人为王母设一座位,她便坐在王的右边。
Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
2:20 拔示巴说,我有一件小事求你,望你不要推辞。王说,请母亲说,我必不推辞。
Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.
2:21 拔示巴说,求你将书念的女子亚比煞赐给你哥哥亚多尼雅为妻。
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
2:22 所罗门王对他母亲说,为何单替他求书念的女子亚比煞呢。也可以为他求国吧。他是我的哥哥,他有祭司亚比亚他和洗鲁雅的儿子约押为辅佐。
And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
2:23 所罗门王就指着耶和华起誓说,亚多尼雅这话是自己送命,不然,愿神重重地降罚与我。
Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
2:24 耶和华坚立我,使我坐在父亲大卫的位上,照着所应许的话为我建立家室。现在我指着永生的耶和华起誓,亚多尼雅今日必被治死。
Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
2:25 于是所罗门王差遣耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,将亚多尼雅杀死。
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
2:26 王对祭司亚比亚他说,你回亚拿突归自己的田地去吧。你本是该死的,但因你在我父亲大卫面前抬过主耶和华的约柜,又与我父亲同受一切苦难,所以我今日不将你杀死。
And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
2:27 所罗门就革除亚比亚他,不许他作耶和华的祭司。这样,便应验耶和华在示罗论以利家所说的话。
So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
2:28 约押虽然没有归从押沙龙,却归从了亚多尼雅。他听见这风声,就逃到耶和华的帐幕,抓住祭坛的角。
Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
2:29 有人告诉所罗门王说,约押逃到耶和华的帐幕,现今在祭坛的旁边。所罗门就差遣耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,说,你去将他杀死。
And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
2:30 比拿雅来到耶和华的帐幕,对约押说,王吩咐说,你出来吧。他说,我不出去,我要死在这里。比拿雅就去回覆王,说约押如此如此回答我。
And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
2:31 王说,你可以照着他的话行,杀死他,将他葬埋,好叫约押流无辜人血的罪不归我和我的父家了。
And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
2:32 耶和华必使约押流人血的罪归到他自己的头上。因为他用刀杀了两个比他又义又好的人,就是以色列元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥和犹大元帅益帖的儿子亚玛撒,我父亲大卫却不知道。
And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
2:33 故此,流这二人血的罪必归到约押和他后裔的头上,直到永远。惟有大卫和他的后裔,并他的家与国,必从耶和华那里得平安,直到永远。
Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.
2:34 于是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅上去,将约押杀死,葬在旷野约押自己的坟墓(原文作房屋)里。
So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
2:35 王就立耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅作元帅,代替约押,又使祭司撒督代替亚比亚他。
