Therefore the king commanded to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he assailed Shimei, and smote him, and he was dead. Therefore the realm was confirmed into the hands of Solomon;
Forsooth Solomon sat upon the throne of David, his father, and his realm was made steadfast greatly.
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and Benaiah slew Adonijah, and he was dead.
Therefore Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up, and assailed Joab, and killed him; and Joab was buried in his house in desert.
And king Solomon shall be blessed; and the throne of David shall be stable before the Lord till into without end.
Therefore Solomon, the son of David, was comforted in his realm, and the Lord was with him, and magnified him on high.
Do thou away unpiety from the cheer of the king, and his throne shall be made steadfast by rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
A just king raiseth [up] the land; an avaricious man shall destroy it.
