1 Kings 1:11-31

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>_.
