1 Kings 1:5-40

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}
