Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons because he was a son born to him late in life, and he made a special tunic for him.When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated Joseph and were not able to speak to him kindly.Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more.

Now Joseph’s brothers saw him from a distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.They said to one another,“ Here comes this master of dreams!Come now, let’s kill him, throw him into one of the cisterns, and then say that a wild animal ate him. Then we’ll see how his dreams turn out!”When Reuben heard this, he rescued Joseph from their hands, saying,“ Let’s not take his life!”Reuben continued,“ Don’t shed blood! Throw him into this cistern that is here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.”( Reuben said this so he could rescue Joseph from them and take him back to his father.)When Joseph reached his brothers, they stripped him of his tunic, the special tunic that he wore.Then they took him and threw him into the cistern.( Now the cistern was empty; there was no water in it.)When they sat down to eat their food, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying spices, balm, and myrrh down to Egypt.Then Judah said to his brothers,“ What profit is there if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let’s not lay a hand on him, for after all, he is our brother, our own flesh.” His brothers agreed.

His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what Joseph said.

but with Cain and his offering he was not pleased. So Cain became very angry, and his expression was downcast.Then the LORD said to Cain,“ Why are you angry, and why is your expression downcast?Is it not true that if you do what is right, you will be fine? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. It desires to dominate you, but you must subdue it.”Cain said to his brother Abel,“ Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Absalom instructed his servants,“ Look! When Amnon is drunk and I say to you,‘ Strike Amnon down,’ kill him then and there. Don’t fear! Is it not I who have given you these instructions? Be strong and courageous!”

The messengers returned to Jacob and said,“ We went to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you and has four hundred men with him.”Jacob was very afraid and upset. So he divided the people who were with him into two camps, as well as the flocks, herds, and camels.“ If Esau attacks one camp,” he thought,“ then the other camp will be able to escape.”Then Jacob prayed,“ O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, O LORD, you said to me,‘ Return to your land and to your relatives and I will make you prosper.’I am not worthy of all the faithful love you have shown your servant. With only my walking stick I crossed the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.Rescue me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, as well as the mothers with their children.

So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing his father had given to his brother. Esau said privately,“ The time of mourning for my father is near; then I will kill my brother Jacob!”When Rebekah heard what her older son Esau had said, she quickly summoned her younger son Jacob and told him,“ Look, your brother Esau is planning to get revenge by killing you.Now then, my son, do what I say. Run away immediately to my brother Laban in Haran.Live with him for a little while until your brother’s rage subsides.Stay there until your brother’s anger against you subsides and he forgets what you did to him. Then I’ll send someone to bring you back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?”

When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, the people answered the king,“ We have no portion in David, no share in the son of Jesse! Return to your homes, O Israel! Now, look after your own dynasty, O David!” So Israel returned to their homes.

King Solomon then swore an oath by the LORD,“ May God judge me severely, if Adonijah does not pay for this request with his life!Now, as certainly as the LORD lives( he who made me secure, allowed me to sit on my father David’s throne, and established a dynasty for me as he promised), Adonijah will be executed today!”King Solomon then sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he killed Adonijah.
