1 Kings 2:29 in Context — 1 Kings 2

27 Assim expulsou Salomão a Abiatar do sacerdócio do SENHOR, para que se cumprisse a palavra do SENHOR que havia dito sobre a casa de Eli em Siló.

28 E veio a notícia até Joabe: porque também Joabe se havia aderido a Adonias, se bem não se havia aderido a Absalão. E fugiu Joabe ao tabernáculo do SENHOR, e agarrou-se às pontas do altar.

29 E foi feito saber a Salomão que Joabe havia fugido ao tabernáculo do SENHOR, e que estava junto ao altar. Então enviou Salomão a Benaia filho de Joiada, dizendo: Vai, e golpeia-o.

30 E entrou Benaia ao tabernáculo do SENHOR, e disse-lhe: O rei disse que saias. E ele disse: Não, mas sim aqui morrerei. E Benaia voltou com esta resposta ao rei, dizendo: Assim falou Joabe, e assim me respondeu.

31 E o rei lhe disse: Faze como ele disse; mata-lhe e enterra-o, e tira de mim e da casa de meu pai o sangue que Joabe derramou injustamente.
