The king said to the priest Abiathar,“ Go to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death today, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD in the presence of my father David and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”So Solomon banished Abiathar from being the LORD’s priest, and it fulfilled the LORD’s prophecy he had spoken at Shiloh against Eli’s family.The news reached Joab. Since he had supported Adonijah but not Absalom, Joab fled to the LORD’s tabernacle and took hold of the horns of the altar.It was reported to King Solomon,“ Joab has fled to the LORD’s tabernacle and is now beside the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada and told him,“ Go and strike him down!”So Benaiah went to the tabernacle and said to Joab,“ This is what the king says:‘ Come out!’” But Joab said,“ No, for I will die here.” So Benaiah took a message back to the king,“ This is what Joab said, and this is how he answered me.”The king said to him,“ Do just as he says. Strike him down and bury him in order to remove from me and from my father’s family the blood that Joab shed without just cause.The LORD will bring back his own blood on his head because he struck down two men more righteous and better than he, without my father David’s knowledge. With his sword, Joab murdered Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army.The responsibility for their deaths will come back to Joab and to his descendants forever, but for David, his descendants, his dynasty, and his throne, there will be peace from the LORD forever.”Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, struck down Joab, and put him to death. He was buried at his house in the wilderness.Then the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab’s place over the army, and he appointed the priest Zadok in Abiathar’s place.

Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. They set the ark of God down, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had finished marching past.Then the king instructed Zadok,“ Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor with the LORD, he will bring me back and allow me to see both it and its dwelling place.However, if he should say,‘ I do not delight in you,’ then here I am— he can do with me whatever pleases him.”The king also said to the priest Zadok,“ Look, return to the city in peace and your two sons with you: your son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan.Remember, I’ll wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and stayed there.
