David charges Solomon to walk in the LORD’s ways and addresses unresolved matters involving Joab, Barzillai’s sons, and Shimei. David dies after forty years as king. Adonijah’s request for Abishag is treated by Solomon as a renewed dynastic claim. Adonijah is executed, Abiathar is removed from the priesthood, Joab is killed, and Shimei later dies after violating the boundary Solomon imposed. The kingdom is established in Solomon’s hand.
