1 Kings 2:26-28
Lexham English Bible
26 To Abiathar the priest, the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your field, for you deserve to die,[a] but on this day I will not kill you, for you carried the ark of the Lord Yahweh before David my father, and because you endured hardship in all the hardship that my father endured.” 27 So Solomon banished Abiathar from being priest to Yahweh, thus fulfilling the word which Yahweh had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 When the message came to Joab (now Joab had supported[b] Adonijah but had not supported[c] Absalom), he fled to the tent of Yahweh and grasped the horns of the altar.
