1 Kings 1:1-53

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}

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}

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>_.

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.

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}

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}

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}

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>_.

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}

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.

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?

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>_.

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)_?

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}

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>_.

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?}

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>_.

And now, behold, Adonijah
<0138>

reigneth
<04427> (8804)_;

and now, my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

[it] not:

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)_.

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.

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}

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

with the king
<04428>_,

Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>

also came in
<0935> (8804)_.

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>_.

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>_?

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}

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)_.

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?

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}

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>_,

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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>_.

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>_.

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].

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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)_?

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)_.

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)_.

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>_:

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)_.

And also Solomon
<08010>

sitteth
<03427> (8804)

on the throne
<03678>

of the kingdom
<04410>_.

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>_.

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].

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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)_.

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>_.
