1 Kings 1:1-27

1:1
Now king
<04428>
David
<01732>
was old
<02204> (8804)
[and] stricken
<0935> (8804)
in years
<03117>_;
and they covered
<03680> (8762)
him with clothes
<0899>_,
but he gat no heat
<03179> (8799)_.
{stricken...: Heb. entered into days}
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}
1:3
So they sought
<01245> (8762)
for a fair
<03303>
damsel
<05291>
throughout all the coasts
<01366>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
Abishag
<049>
a Shunammite
<07767>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
her to the king
<04428>_.
1:4
And the damsel
<05291>
[was] very
<03966>
fair
<03303>_,
and cherished
<05532> (8802)
the king
<04428>_,
and ministered
<08334> (8762)
to him: but the king
<04428>
knew
<03045> (8804)
her not.
1:5
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?
