1 Kings 1:25

1:25 For today he has gone down and sacrificed many cattle, steers, and sheep and has invited all the king’s sons, the army commanders, and Abiathar the priest. At this moment 1  they are having a feast 2  in his presence, and they have declared, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ 3 

1 Kings 2:5

2:5 “You know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me – how he murdered two commanders of the Israelite armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. 4  During peacetime he struck them down like he would in battle; 5  when he shed their blood as if in battle, he stained his own belt and the sandals on his feet. 6 

1 tn Heb “look.”

2 tn Heb “eating and drinking.”

3 tn Heb “let the king, Adonijah, live!”

4 tn Heb “what he did to the two commanders…and he killed them.”

5 tn Heb “he shed the blood of battle in peace.”

6 tn Heb “and he shed the blood of battle when he killed which is on his waist and on his sandal[s] which are on his feet.” That is, he covered himself with guilt and his guilt was obvious to all who saw him.
