11:002:025 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of
           Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

11:002:026 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.

11:002:027 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.

11:002:028 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.

11:002:029 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.

11:002:030 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.

11:002:031 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.

11:002:032 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.

11:002:033 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.

11:002:034 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.

11:002:035 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over
           the host:  and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of
           Abiathar.

11:002:036 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him,
           Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not
           forth thence any whither.
