1 Kings 1:5

1:5 Now Adonijah, son of David and Haggith,¹ was promoting himself,² boasting,³ “I will be king!” He managed to acquire⁴ chariots and horsemen, as well as fifty men to serve as his royal guard.⁵

1 Kings 20:20

20:20 Each one struck down an enemy soldier;⁶ the Syrians fled and Israel chased them. King Ben Hadad of Syria escaped on horseback with some horsemen.

¹tn Heb “son of Haggith,” but since this formula usually designates the father (who in this case was David), the translation specifies that David was Adonijah’s father.

²tn Heb “lifting himself up.”

³tn Heb “saying.”

⁴tn Or “he acquired for himself.”

⁵tn Heb “to run ahead of him.”

⁶tn Heb “each struck down his man.”
