And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

Verse 31 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.

Der König sprach zu ihm: Tue, wie er geredet hat, und schlage ihn und begrabe ihn, daß du das Blut, das Joab ohne Ursache vergossen hat, von mir tust und von meines Vaters Hause;
Y el rey le dijo: Haz como él ha dicho; mátale y entiérralo, y quita de mí y de la casa de mi padre la sangre que Joab ha derramado injustamente.
El rey le dijo: «Haz como ha dicho: mátalo y entiérralo. Así quitarás de mí y de la casa de mi padre la culpa por la sangre que Joab derramó sin causa.
Le roi dit à Benaja: Fais comme il a dit, frappe-le, et enterre-le; tu ôteras ainsi de dessus moi et de dessus la maison de mon père le sang que Joab a répandu sans cause.
E il re gli disse: Fa’ come egli ha detto, ed avventati sopra lui; e poi sotterralo; e togli d’addosso a me, e d’addosso alla casa di mio padre, il sangue che Ioab ha sparso senza cagione.
E disse-lhe o rei: Faze como ele disse, e arremete contra ele, e sepulta-o, para que tires de mim e da casa de meu pai o sangue que Joabe sem causa derramou.
王對他說:「你可以照著他的話去做,殺了他,把他葬了,好叫 約押 流無辜人血的罪不歸在我和我的父家。
