1 Kings 2:26

¶ 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.

And unto Abiathar {H54} the priest {H3548} said {H559} the king {H4428}, Get {H3212} thee to Anathoth {H6068}, unto thine own fields {H7704}; for thou art worthy {H376} of death {H4194}: but I will not at this time {H3117} put thee to death {H4191}, because thou barest {H5375} the ark {H727} of the Lord {H136} GOD {H3069} before {H6440} David {H1732} my father {H1}, and because thou hast been afflicted {H6031} in all wherein my father {H1} was afflicted {H6031}.

To Evyatar the cohen the king said, "You, get yourself to 'Anatot, to your own fields. You deserve to die; but I won't put you to death just now; since you did carry the ark of Adonai ELOHIM before David my father; and you suffered together with my father in everything he suffered."

Then the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death at this time, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”

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 Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
