1 Kings 1:10-53

1:10

But Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>_,

and the mighty men
<01368>_,

and Solomon
<08010>

his brother
<0251>_,

he called
<07121> (8804)

not.

1:11

Wherefore Nathan
<05416>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Bathsheba
<01339>

the mother
<0517>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Hast thou not heard
<08085> (8804)

that Adonijah
<0138>

the son
<01121>

of Haggith
<02294>

doth reign
<04427> (8804)_,

and David
<01732>

our lord
<0113>

knoweth
<03045> (8804)

[it] not?

1:12

Now therefore come
<03212> (8798)_,

let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel
<03289> (8799) <06098>_,

that thou mayest save
<04422> (8761)

thine own life
<05315>_,

and the life
<05315>

of thy son
<01121>

Solomon
<08010>_.

1:13

Go
<03212> (8798)

and get thee in
<0935> (8798)

unto king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto him, Didst not thou, my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

swear
<07650> (8738)

unto thine handmaid
<0519>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Assuredly
<03588>

Solomon
<08010>

thy son
<01121>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

after
<0310>

me, and he shall sit
<03427> (8799)

upon my throne
<03678>_?

why then doth Adonijah
<0138>

reign
<04427> (8804)_?

1:14

Behold, while thou yet talkest
<01696> (8764)

there with the king
<04428>_,

I also will come in
<0935> (8799)

after
<0310>

thee, and confirm
<04390> (8765)

thy words
<01697>_.

{confirm: Heb. fill up}

1:15

And Bathsheba
<01339>

went in
<0935> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

into the chamber
<02315>_:

and the king
<04428>

was very
<03966>

old
<02204> (8804)_;

and Abishag
<049>

the Shunammite
<07767>

ministered
<08334> (8764)

unto the king
<04428>_.

1:16

And Bathsheba
<01339>

bowed
<06915> (8799)_,

and did obeisance
<07812> (8691)

unto the king
<04428>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What wouldest thou? {What...: Heb. What to thee?}

1:17

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My lord
<0113>_,

thou swarest
<07650> (8738)

by the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

unto thine handmaid
<0519>_,

[saying], Assuredly Solomon
<08010>

thy son
<01121>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

after
<0310>

me, and he shall sit
<03427> (8799)

upon my throne
<03678>_.

1:18

And now, behold, Adonijah
<0138>

reigneth
<04427> (8804)_;

and now, my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

[it] not:

1:19

And he hath slain
<02076> (8799)

oxen
<07794>

and fat cattle
<04806>

and sheep
<06629>

in abundance
<07230>_,

and hath called
<07121> (8799)

all the sons
<01121>

of the king
<04428>_,

and Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Joab
<03097>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>_:

but Solomon
<08010>

thy servant
<05650>

hath he not called
<07121> (8804)_.

1:20

And thou, my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

the eyes
<05869>

of all Israel
<03478>

[are] upon thee, that thou shouldest tell
<05046> (8687)

them who shall sit
<03427> (8799)

on the throne
<03678>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

after
<0310>

him.

1:21

Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

shall sleep
<07901> (8800)

with his fathers
<01>_,

that I and my son
<01121>

Solomon
<08010>

shall be counted offenders
<02400>_.

{offenders: Heb. sinners}

1:22

And, lo, while she yet talked
<01696> (8764)

with the king
<04428>_,

Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>

also came in
<0935> (8804)_.

1:23

And they told
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_.

And when he was come in
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

he bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself before the king
<04428>

with his face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_.

1:24

And Nathan
<05416>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

My lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

hast thou said
<0559> (8804)_,

Adonijah
<0138>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

after
<0310>

me, and he shall sit
<03427> (8799)

upon my throne
<03678>_?

1:25

For he is gone down
<03381> (8804)

this day
<03117>_,

and hath slain
<02076> (8799)

oxen
<07794>

and fat cattle
<04806>

and sheep
<06629>

in abundance
<07230>_,

and hath called
<07121> (8799)

all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_,

and the captains
<08269>

of the host
<06635>_,

and Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_;

and, behold, they eat
<0398> (8802)

and drink
<08354> (8802)

before
<06440>

him, and say
<0559> (8799)_,

God save
<02421> (8799)

king
<04428>

Adonijah
<0138>_.

{God...: Heb. Let king Adonijah live}

1:26

But me, [even] me thy servant
<05650>_,

and Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

and thy servant
<05650>

Solomon
<08010>_,

hath he not called
<07121> (8804)_.

1:27

Is this thing
<01697>

done
<01961> (8738)

by my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

and thou hast not shewed
<03045> (8689)

[it] unto thy servant
<05650>_,

who should sit
<03427> (8799)

on the throne
<03678>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

after
<0310>

him?

1:28

Then king
<04428>

David
<01732>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Call
<07121> (8798)

me Bathsheba
<01339>_.

And she came
<0935> (8799)

into the king's
<04428>

presence
<06440>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

{into...: Heb. before the king}

1:29

And the king
<04428>

sware
<07650> (8735)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

that hath redeemed
<06299> (8804)

my soul
<05315>

out of all distress
<06869>_,

1:30

Even as I sware
<07650> (8738)

unto thee by the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Assuredly Solomon
<08010>

thy son
<01121>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

after
<0310>

me, and he shall sit
<03427> (8799)

upon my throne
<03678>

in my stead; even so will I certainly do
<06213> (8799)

this day
<03117>_.

1:31

Then Bathsheba
<01339>

bowed
<06915> (8799)

with [her] face
<0639>

to the earth
<0776>_,

and did reverence
<07812> (8691)

to the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let my lord
<0113>

king
<04428>

David
<01732>

live
<02421> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_.

1:32

And king
<04428>

David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Call
<07121> (8798)

me Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_.

And they came
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

1:33

The king
<04428>

also said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Take
<03947> (8798)

with you the servants
<05650>

of your lord
<0113>_,

and cause Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>

to ride
<07392> (8689)

upon mine own mule
<06506>_,

and bring him down
<03381> (8689)

to Gihon
<01521>_:

{mine...: Heb. which belongeth to me}

1:34

And let Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>

anoint
<04886> (8804)

him there king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_:

and blow
<08628> (8804)

ye with the trumpet
<07782>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

God save
<02421> (8799)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

1:35

Then ye shall come up
<05927> (8804)

after
<0310>

him, that he may come
<0935> (8804)

and sit
<03427> (8804)

upon my throne
<03678>_;

for he shall be king
<04427> (8799)

in my stead: and I have appointed
<06680> (8765)

him to be ruler
<05057>

over Israel
<03478>

and over Judah
<03063>_.

1:36

And Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Amen
<0543>_:

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

say
<0559> (8799)

so [too].

1:37

As the LORD
<03068>

hath been with my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

even so be he with Solomon
<08010>_,

and make
<01431> (0)

his throne
<03678>

greater
<01431> (8762)

than the throne
<03678>

of my lord
<0113>

king
<04428>

David
<01732>_.

1:38

So Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

and the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and the Pelethites
<06432>_,

went down
<03381> (8799)_,

and caused Solomon
<08010>

to ride
<07392> (8686)

upon king
<04428>

David's
<01732>

mule
<06506>_,

and brought
<03212> (8686)

him to Gihon
<01521>_.

1:39

And Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>

took
<03947> (8799)

an horn
<07161>

of oil
<08081>

out of the tabernacle
<0168>_,

and anointed
<04886> (8799)

Solomon
<08010>_.

And they blew
<08628> (8799)

the trumpet
<07782>_;

and all the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God save
<02421> (8799)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

1:40

And all the people
<05971>

came up
<05927> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, and the people
<05971>

piped
<02490> (8764)

with pipes
<02485>_,

and rejoiced
<08056>

with great
<01419>

joy
<08057>_,

so that the earth
<0776>

rent
<01234> (8735)

with the sound
<06963>

of them. {pipes: or, flutes}

1:41

And Adonijah
<0138>

and all the guests
<07121> (8803)

that [were] with him heard
<08085> (8799)

[it] as they had made an end
<03615> (8765)

of eating
<0398> (8800)_.

And when Joab
<03097>

heard
<08085> (8799)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore [is this] noise
<06963>

of the city
<07151>

being in an uproar
<01993> (8802)_?

1:42

And while he yet spake
<01696> (8764)_,

behold, Jonathan
<03129>

the son
<01121>

of Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>

came
<0935> (8804)_:

and Adonijah
<0138>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Come in
<0935> (8798)_;

for thou [art] a valiant
<02428>

man
<0376> (8676) <0381>_,

and bringest
<01319> (0)

good
<02896>

tidings
<01319> (8762)_.

1:43

And Jonathan
<03129>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Adonijah
<0138>_,

Verily
<061>

our lord
<0113>

king
<04428>

David
<01732>

hath made Solomon
<08010>

king
<04427> (8689)_.

1:44

And the king
<04428>

hath sent
<07971> (8799)

with him Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

and the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and the Pelethites
<06432>_,

and they have caused him to ride
<07392> (8686)

upon the king's
<04428>

mule
<06506>_:

1:45

And Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>

have anointed
<04886> (8799)

him king
<04428>

in Gihon
<01521>_:

and they are come up
<05927> (8799)

from thence rejoicing
<08056>_,

so that the city
<07151>

rang again
<01949> (8735)_.

This [is] the noise
<06963>

that ye have heard
<08085> (8804)_.

1:46

And also Solomon
<08010>

sitteth
<03427> (8804)

on the throne
<03678>

of the kingdom
<04410>_.

1:47

And moreover the king's
<04428>

servants
<05650>

came
<0935> (8804)

to bless
<01288> (8763)

our lord
<0113>

king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

God
<0430>

make the name
<08034>

of Solomon
<08010>

better
<03190> (8686)

than thy name
<08034>_,

and make
<01431> (0)

his throne
<03678>

greater
<01431> (8762)

than thy throne
<03678>_.

And the king
<04428>

bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself upon the bed
<04904>_.

1:48

And also thus said
<0559> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which hath given
<05414> (8804)

[one] to sit
<03427> (8802)

on my throne
<03678>

this day
<03117>_,

mine eyes
<05869>

even seeing
<07200> (8802)

[it].

1:49

And all the guests
<07121> (8803)

that [were] with Adonijah
<0138>

were afraid
<02729> (8799)_,

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his way
<01870>_.

1:50

And Adonijah
<0138>

feared
<03372> (8804)

because
<06440>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

and arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)_,

and caught hold
<02388> (8686)

on the horns
<07161>

of the altar
<04196>_.

1:51

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Solomon
<08010>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, Adonijah
<0138>

feareth
<03372> (8804)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_:

for, lo, he hath caught hold
<0270> (8804)

on the horns
<07161>

of the altar
<04196>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

swear
<07650> (8735)

unto me to day
<03117>

that he will not slay
<04191> (8686)

his servant
<05650>

with the sword
<02719>_.

1:52

And Solomon
<08010>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

If he will shew himself a worthy
<02428>

man
<01121>_,

there shall not an hair
<08185>

of him fall
<05307> (8799)

to the earth
<0776>_:

but if wickedness
<07451>

shall be found
<04672> (8735)

in him, he shall die
<04191> (8804)_.

1:53

So king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and they brought him down
<03381> (8686)

from the altar
<04196>_.

And he came
<0935> (8799)

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself to king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_:

and Solomon
<08010>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)

to thine house
<01004>_.

1 Kings 1:2

1:2

Wherefore his servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let there be sought
<01245> (8762)

for my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

a young
<05291>

virgin
<01330>_:

and let her stand
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and let her cherish
<05532> (8802)

him, and let her lie
<07901> (8804)

in thy bosom
<02436>_,

that my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

may get heat
<02552> (8804)_.

{Let there...: Heb. Let them seek} {a young...: Heb. a damsel, a virgin} {cherish...: Heb. be a cherisher unto him}

1 Kings 7:2

7:2

He built
<01129> (8799)

also the house
<01004>

of the forest
<03293>

of Lebanon
<03844>_;

the length
<0753>

thereof [was] an hundred
<03967>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

thereof fifty
<02572>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the height
<06967>

thereof thirty
<07970>

cubits
<0520>_,

upon four
<0702>

rows
<02905>

of cedar
<0730>

pillars
<05982>_,

with cedar
<0730>

beams
<03773>

upon the pillars
<05982>_.

1 Kings 12:1-15

12:1

And Rehoboam
<07346>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Shechem
<07927>_:

for all Israel
<03478>

were come
<0935> (8804)

to Shechem
<07927>

to make him king
<04427> (8687)_.

12:2

And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who was yet in Egypt
<04714>_,

heard
<08085> (8800)

[of it], (for he was fled
<01272> (8804)

from the presence
<06440>

of king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_,

and Jeroboam
<03379>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Egypt
<04714>;)

12:3

That they sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

him. And Jeroboam
<03379>

and all the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Rehoboam
<07346>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

12:4

Thy father
<01>

made
<07185> (0)

our yoke
<05923>

grievous
<07185> (8689)_:

now therefore make thou the grievous
<07186>

service
<05656>

of thy father
<01>_,

and his heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>

which he put
<05414> (8804)

upon us, lighter
<07043> (8685)_,

and we will serve
<05647> (8799)

thee.

12:5

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Depart
<03212> (8798)

yet [for] three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

then come again
<07725> (8798)

to me. And the people
<05971>

departed
<03212> (8799)_.

12:6

And king
<04428>

Rehoboam
<07346>

consulted
<03289> (8735)

with the old men
<02205>_,

that stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

Solomon
<08010>

his father
<01>

while he yet lived
<02416>_,

and said
<0559> (8800)_,

How do ye advise
<03289> (8737)

that I may
<07725> (8687)

answer
<01697>

this people
<05971>_?

12:7

And they spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If thou wilt be a servant
<05650>

unto this people
<05971>

this day
<03117>_,

and wilt serve
<05647> (8804)

them, and answer
<06030> (8804)

them, and speak
<01696> (8765)

good
<02896>

words
<01697>

to them, then they will be thy servants
<05650>

for ever
<03117>_.

12:8

But he forsook
<05800> (8799)

the counsel
<06098>

of the old men
<02205>_,

which they had given
<03289> (8804)

him, and consulted
<03289> (8735)

with the young men
<03206>

that were grown up
<01431> (8804)

with him, [and] which stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

him:

12:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, What counsel give
<03289> (8737)

ye that we may
<07725> (8686)

answer
<01697>

this people
<05971>_,

who have spoken
<01696> (8765)

to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Make
<07043> (0)

the yoke
<05923>

which thy father
<01>

did put
<05414> (8804)

upon us lighter
<07043> (8685)_?

12:10

And the young men
<03206>

that were grown up
<01431> (8804)

with him spake
<01696> (8762)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus shalt thou speak
<0559> (8799)

unto this people
<05971>

that spake
<01696> (8765)

unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy father
<01>

made
<03513> (0)

our yoke
<05923>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_,

but make thou [it] lighter
<07043> (8685)

unto us; thus shalt thou say
<01696> (8762)

unto them, My little
<06995>

[finger] shall be thicker
<05666> (8804)

than my father's
<01>

loins
<04975>_.

12:11

And now whereas my father
<01>

did lade
<06006> (8689)

you with a heavy
<03515>

yoke
<05923>_,

I will add
<03254> (8686)

to your yoke
<05923>_:

my father
<01>

hath chastised
<03256> (8765)

you with whips
<07752>_,

but I will chastise
<03256> (8762)

you with scorpions
<06137>_.

12:12

So Jeroboam
<03379>

and all the people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Rehoboam
<07346>

the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

as the king
<04428>

had appointed
<01696> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come to me again
<07725> (8798)

the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_.

12:13

And the king
<04428>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the people
<05971>

roughly
<07186>_,

and forsook
<05800> (8799)

the old men's
<02205>

counsel
<06098>

that they gave
<03289> (8804)

him; {roughly: Heb. hardly}

12:14

And spake
<01696> (8762)

to them after the counsel
<06098>

of the young men
<03206>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

My father
<01>

made
<03513> (0)

your yoke
<05923>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_,

and I will add
<03254> (8686)

to your yoke
<05923>_:

my father
<01>

[also] chastised
<03256> (8765)

you with whips
<07752>_,

but I will chastise
<03256> (8762)

you with scorpions
<06137>_.

12:15

Wherefore the king
<04428>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the people
<05971>_;

for the cause
<05438>

was from the LORD
<03068>_,

that he might perform
<06965> (8687)

his saying
<01697>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

Ahijah
<0281>

the Shilonite
<07888>

unto Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_.

1 Kings 12:25

12:25

Then Jeroboam
<03379>

built
<01129> (8799)

Shechem
<07927>

in mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

therein; and went out
<03318> (8799)

from thence, and built
<01129> (8799)

Penuel
<06439>_.
