Then Adonijah
<0138>

the son
<01121>

of Haggith
<02294>

exalted
<04984> (8693)

himself, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I will be king
<04427> (8799)_:

and he prepared
<06213> (8799)

him chariots
<07393>

and horsemen
<06571>_,

and fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>

to run
<07323> (8801)

before
<06440>

him. {be king: Heb. reign}

1:6

And his father
<01>

had not displeased
<06087> (8804)

him at any time
<03117>

in saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why hast thou done so
<06213> (8804)_?

and he also [was a] very
<03966>

goodly
<02896> <08389>

[man]; and [his mother] bare
<03205> (8804)

him after
<0310>

Absalom
<053>_.

{at any...: Heb. from his days}

1:7

And he conferred
<01697>

with Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_,

and with Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_:

and they following
<0310>

Adonijah
<0138>

helped
<05826> (8799)

[him]. {he...: Heb. his words were with} {following...: Heb. helped after Adonijah}

1:8

But Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Shimei
<08096>_,

and Rei
<07472>_,

and the mighty men
<01368>

which [belonged] to David
<01732>_,

were not with Adonijah
<0138>_.

1:9

And Adonijah
<0138>

slew
<02076> (8799)

sheep
<06629>

and oxen
<01241>

and fat cattle
<04806>

by the stone
<068>

of Zoheleth
<02120>_,

which [is] by
<0681>

Enrogel
<05883>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

all his brethren
<0251>

the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_,

and all the men
<0582>

of Judah
<03063>

the king's
<04428>

servants
<05650>_:

{Enrogel: or, the well Rogel}

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>_.
