Men, continue to be brave. I have faith in God. It will happen just as he told me.

Some day your life will come to an end. You will join the members of your family who have already died. Then I will make one of your own sons the next king after you. And I will make his kingdom secure.He is the one who will build a house where I will put my Name. I will set up the throne of his kingdom. It will last forever.I will be his father. And he will be my son. When he does what is wrong, I will use other men to beat him with rods and whips.I took my love away from Saul. I removed him from being king. You were there when I did it. But I will never take my love away from your son.Your royal house and your kingdom will last forever in my sight. Your throne will last forever.” ’ ”

As Shimei cursed, he said,“ Get out! Get out, you murderer! You are a worthless and evil man!You spilled the blood of a lot of people in Saul’s family. You took over his kingdom. Now the Lord is paying you back. He has handed the kingdom over to your son Absalom. You have been destroyed because you are a murderer!”

I trust in God. I praise his word. I trust in God. I am not afraid. What can mere people do to me?

Many are saying about me,“ God will not save him.”

and said,“ So you are going to destroy the temple and build it again in three days? Then save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders made fun of him.“ He saved others,” they said.“ But he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross! Then we will believe in him.He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him. He’s the one who said,‘ I am the Son of God.’ ”

But God said to me,‘ You are not the one who will build a house for my Name. That is because you are a fighting man. You have spilled people’s blood.’“ But the Lord chose me. He is the God of Israel. He chose me from my whole family to be king over Israel forever. He chose Judah to lead the tribes. From the tribe of Judah he chose my family. From my father’s sons he chose me. He was pleased to make me king over the whole nation of Israel.The Lord has given me many sons. From all of them he has chosen my son Solomon. He wants Solomon to sit on the throne of the Lord’ s kingdom. He wants him to rule over Israel.The Lord said to me,‘ Your son Solomon is the one who will build my house and my courtyards. I have chosen him to be my son. And I will be his father.

You once spoke to your faithful people in a vision. You said,“ I have given strength to a soldier. I have raised up a young man from among the people.I have found my servant David. I have poured my sacred oil on his head.My powerful hand will keep him going. My mighty arm will give him strength.No enemy will have the victory over him. No evil person will treat him badly.I will crush the king’s enemies. I will completely destroy them.I will love him and be faithful to him. Because of me his power will increase.I will give him a great kingdom. It will reach from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.He will call out to me,‘ You are my Father. You are my God. You are my Rock and Savior.’I will also make him my oldest son. Among all the kings of the earth, he will be the most important one.I will continue to love him forever. I will never break my covenant with him.I will make his family line continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the heavens.“ What if his sons turn away from my laws and do not follow them?What if they disobey my orders and fail to keep my commands?Then I will punish them for their sins. I will strike them with a rod. I will whip them for their evil acts.But I will not stop loving David. I will always be faithful to him.I will not break my covenant. I will not go back on my word.Once and for all, I have made a promise. It is based on my holiness. And I will not lie to David.His family line will continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the sun.It will last forever like the moon, that faithful witness in the sky.”

My son, be wise and bring joy to my heart. Then I can answer anyone who makes fun of me.

I trust in God. I praise his word. I trust in the Lord. I praise his word.I trust in God. I am not afraid. What can mere people do to me?

Remember what you have said to me. You have given me hope.

They went across at the place where people usually cross it. Then they brought the king’s family back over with them. They were ready to do anything he wanted them to do. Shimei, the son of Gera, had also gone across the Jordan. When he did, he fell down flat with his face toward the ground in front of the king.He said to him,“ You are my king and master. Please don’t hold me guilty. Please forgive me for the wrong things I did on the day you left Jerusalem. Please forget all about them.I know I’ve sinned. But today I’ve come down here to welcome you. I’m the first member of Joseph’s whole family to do it.”

“ Sir,” they said,“ we remember something that liar said while he was still alive. He claimed,‘ After three days I will rise again.’

My body suffers deadly pain as my enemies make fun of me. All day long they say to me,“ Where is your God?”

I deeply long for you to save me. I have put my hope in your word.

May those who have respect for you be filled with joy when they see me. I have put my hope in your word.

My enemies speak against me. Those who want to kill me get together and make evil plans.They say,“ God has deserted him. Go after him and grab him. No one will save him.”

Those who bring charges against me laugh at me. When they see me, they shake their heads at me.
