1 Kings 2, Galatians 6, Ezekiel 33, Psalm 81, 82

 


1 Kings 2,

1 When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son.
 
2 "I am about to go the way of all the earth," he said. "So be strong, show yourself a man,
 
3 and observe what the LORD your God requires: Walk in his ways, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and requirements, as written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go,
 
4 and that the LORD may keep his promise to me: 'If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.'
 
5 "Now you yourself know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me-what he did to the two commanders of Israel's armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He killed them, shedding their blood in peacetime as if in battle, and with that blood stained the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet.
 
6 Deal with him according to your wisdom, but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace.
 
7 "But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai of Gilead and let them be among those who eat at your table. They stood by me when I fled from your brother Absalom.
 
8 "And remember, you have with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who called down bitter curses on me the day I went to Mahanaim. When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD : 'I will not put you to death by the sword.'
 
9 But now, do not consider him innocent. You are a man of wisdom; you will know what to do to him. Bring his gray head down to the grave in blood."
 
10 Then David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.
 
11 He had reigned forty years over Israel-seven years in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem.
 
12 So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his rule was firmly established.
 
13 Now Adonijah, the son of Haggith, went to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother. Bathsheba asked him, "Do you come peacefully?" He answered, "Yes, peacefully."
 
14 Then he added, "I have something to say to you." "You may say it," she replied.
 
15 "As you know," he said, "the kingdom was mine. All Israel looked to me as their king. But things changed, and the kingdom has gone to my brother; for it has come to him from the LORD.
 
16 Now I have one request to make of you. Do not refuse me." "You may make it," she said.
 
17 So he continued, "Please ask King Solomon-he will not refuse you-to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife."
 
18 "Very well," Bathsheba replied, "I will speak to the king for you."
 
19 When Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, the king stood up to meet her, bowed down to her and sat down on his throne. He had a throne brought for the king's mother, and she sat down at his right hand.
 
20 "I have one small request to make of you," she said. "Do not refuse me."
 
21 So she said, "Let Abishag the Shunammite be given in marriage to your brother Adonijah."
 
22 King Solomon answered his mother, "Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? You might as well request the kingdom for him-after all, he is my older brother-yes, for him and for Abiathar the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah!"
 
23 Then King Solomon swore by the LORD : "May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if Adonijah does not pay with his life for this request!
 
24 And now, as surely as the LORD lives-he who has established me securely on the throne of my father David and has founded a dynasty for me as he promised-Adonijah shall be put to death today!"
 
25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died.
 
26 To Abiathar the priest the king said, "Go back to your fields in Anathoth. You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark of the Sovereign LORD before my father David and shared all my father's hardships."
 
27 So Solomon removed Abiathar from the priesthood of the LORD, fulfilling the word the LORD had spoken at Shiloh about the house of Eli.
 
28 When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah though not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.
 
29 King Solomon was told that Joab had fled to the tent of the LORD and was beside the altar. Then Solomon ordered Benaiah son of Jehoiada, "Go, strike him down!"
 
30 So Benaiah entered the tent of the LORD and said to Joab, "The king says, 'Come out!' " But he answered, "No, I will die here." Benaiah reported to the king, "This is how Joab answered me."
 
31 Then the king commanded Benaiah, "Do as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so clear me and my father's house of the guilt of the innocent blood that Joab shed.
 
32 The LORD will repay him for the blood he shed, because without the knowledge of my father David he attacked two men and killed them with the sword. Both of them-Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel's army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah's army-were better men and more upright than he.
 
33 May the guilt of their blood rest on the head of Joab and his descendants forever. But on David and his descendants, his house and his throne, may there be the LORD's peace forever."
 
34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up and struck down Joab and killed him, and he was buried on his own land in the desert.
 
35 The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab's position and replaced Abiathar with Zadok the priest.
 
36 Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, "Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else.
 
37 The day you leave and cross the Kidron Valley, you can be sure you will die; your blood will be on your own head."
 
38 Shimei answered the king, "What you say is good. Your servant will do as my lord the king has said." And Shimei stayed in Jerusalem for a long time.
 
39 But three years later, two of Shimei's slaves ran off to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath, and Shimei was told, "Your slaves are in Gath."
 
40 At this, he saddled his donkey and went to Achish at Gath in search of his slaves. So Shimei went away and brought the slaves back from Gath.
 
41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
 
42 the king summoned Shimei and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD and warn you, 'On the day you leave to go anywhere else, you can be sure you will die'? At that time you said to me, 'What you say is good. I will obey.'
 
43 Why then did you not keep your oath to the LORD and obey the command I gave you?"
 
44 The king also said to Shimei, "You know in your heart all the wrong you did to my father David. Now the LORD will repay you for your wrongdoing.
 
45 But King Solomon will be blessed, and David's throne will remain secure before the LORD forever."
 
46 Then the king gave the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down and killed him. The kingdom was now firmly established in Solomon's hands.
 

    

 

Galatians 6,

1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
 
2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
 
3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
 
4 Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else,
 
5 for each one should carry his own load.
 
6 Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.
 
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
 
8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
 
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
 
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
 
11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
 
12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
 
13 Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh.
 
14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
 
15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
 
16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.
 
17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
 
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
 

    

 


Ezekiel 33,

1 The word of the LORD came to me:
 
2 "Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,
 
3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people,
 
4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head.
 
5 Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself.
 
6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.'
 
7 Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
 
8 When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
 
9 But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.
 
10 "Son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'This is what you are saying: "Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?" '
 
11 Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'
 
12 "Therefore, son of man, say to your countrymen, 'The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he disobeys, and the wickedness of the wicked man will not cause him to fall when he turns from it. The righteous man, if he sins, will not be allowed to live because of his former righteousness.'
 
13 If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but then he trusts in his righteousness and does evil, none of the righteous things he has done will be remembered; he will die for the evil he has done.
 
14 And if I say to the wicked man, 'You will surely die,' but he then turns away from his sin and does what is just and right-
 
15 if he gives back what he took in pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen, follows the decrees that give life, and does no evil, he will surely live; he will not die.
 
16 None of the sins he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
 
17 "Yet your countrymen say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just.
 
18 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, he will die for it.
 
19 And if a wicked man turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live by doing so.
 
20 Yet, O house of Israel, you say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But I will judge each of you according to his own ways."
 
21 In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month on the fifth day, a man who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me and said, "The city has fallen!"
 
22 Now the evening before the man arrived, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and he opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer silent.
 
23 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
 
24 "Son of man, the people living in those ruins in the land of Israel are saying, 'Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land. But we are many; surely the land has been given to us as our possession.'
 
25 Therefore say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Since you eat meat with the blood still in it and look to your idols and shed blood, should you then possess the land?
 
26 You rely on your sword, you do detestable things, and each of you defiles his neighbor's wife. Should you then possess the land?'
 
27 "Say this to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: As surely as I live, those who are left in the ruins will fall by the sword, those out in the country I will give to the wild animals to be devoured, and those in strongholds and caves will die of a plague.
 
28 I will make the land a desolate waste, and her proud strength will come to an end, and the mountains of Israel will become desolate so that no one will cross them.
 
29 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the detestable things they have done.'
 
30 "As for you, son of man, your countrymen are talking together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other, 'Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD.'
 
31 My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put them into practice. With their mouths they express devotion, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.
 
32 Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.
 
33 "When all this comes true-and it surely will-then they will know that a prophet has been among them."
 

    

 


Psalm 81, 82

1 Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob!
 
2 Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre.
 
3 Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast;
 
4 this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
 
5 He established it as a statute for Joseph when he went out against Egypt, where we heard a language we did not understand.
 
6 He says, "I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket.
 
7 In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of a thundercloud; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
 
8 "Hear, O my people, and I will warn you-if you would but listen to me, O Israel!
 
9 You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god.
 
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
 
11 "But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.
 
12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
 
13 "If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways,
 
14 how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!
 
15 Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
 
16 But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
 

    
1 God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the "gods":
 
2 "How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
 
3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
 
4 Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
 
5 "They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
 
6 "I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'
 
7 But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler."
 
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
