And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

Verse 26 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Kings. Solomon removes Abiathar from the priesthood and fulfills the word previously spoken concerning the house of Eli. Joab, upon learning of Adonijah’s downfall, takes refuge at the altar, but Solomon orders his execution because of the blood he had shed. Zadok takes Abiathar’s place and Benaiah replaces Joab. The new king thus reorganizes the priestly and military structures and removes the main sources of opposition to his rule.

Und zu dem Priester Abjathar sprach der König: Gehe hin gen Anathoth zu deinem Acker; denn du bist des Todes. Aber ich will dich heute nicht töten; denn du hast die Lade des Herrn HERRN vor meinem Vater David getragen und hast mitgelitten, wo mein Vater gelitten hat.
Y a Abiathar sacerdote dijo el rey: Vete a Anathoth a tus heredades, que tú eres digno de muerte; mas no te mataré hoy, por cuanto has llevado el arca del Señor Jehová delante de David mi padre, y además has sido trabajado en todas las cosas en que fue trabajado mi padre.
Al sacerdote Abiatar el rey le dijo: «Vete a tus campos en Anatot. Mereces morir, pero hoy no te mataré, porque llevaste el arca del Señor Jehová delante de mi padre David y compartiste todas sus aflicciones».
Le roi dit ensuite au sacrificateur Abiathar: Va-t'en à Anathoth dans tes terres, car tu mérites la mort; mais je ne te ferai pas mourir aujourd'hui, parce que tu as porté l'arche du Seigneur l'Eternel devant David, mon père, et parce que tu as eu part à toutes les souffrances de mon père.
Poi il re disse al sacerdote Ebiatar: Vattene in Anatot, alla tua possessione; perciocchè tu hai meritata la morte; ma pure oggi non ti farò morire; perchè tu hai portata l’Arca del Signore Iddio davanti a Davide, mio padre, e perchè tu sei stato afflitto in tutto ciò in che mio padre è stato afflitto.
E a Abiatar, o sacerdote, disse o rei: Vai para Anatote, para os teus campos, porque és homem digno de morte; porém hoje não te matarei, porquanto levaste a arca do Senhor DEUS diante de Davi, meu pai, e porquanto foste aflito em tudo quanto meu pai foi aflito.
王對 亞比亞他 祭司說:「你回 亞拿突 歸自己的田地去吧!你本是該死的,但因你在我父親 大衛 面前抬過主耶和華的約櫃,又與我父親同受一切苦難,所以我今日不殺死你。」
