1 Kings 2:31 in Context — 1 Kings 2
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.
32 E o SENHOR fará voltar seu sangue sobre sua cabeça; porque ele matou dois homens mais justos e melhores que ele, aos quais matou à espada sem que meu pai, Davi, soubesse nada: a Abner filho de Ner, general do exército de Israel, e a Amasa filho de Jéter, general do exército de Judá.
33 O sangue deles, pois, recairá sobre a cabeça de Joabe, e sobre a cabeça de sua descendência para sempre; mas sobre Davi e sobre sua descendência, e sobre sua casa e sobre seu trono, haverá perpetuamente paz da parte do SENHOR.
