1Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.H4428H1732H2204H935H3117H3680H899H3179 2Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.H5650H559H1245H113H4428H5291H1330H5975H6440H4428H5532H7901H2436H113H4428H2552 3So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.H1245H3303H5291H1366H3478H4672H49H7767H935H4428 4And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.H5291H3966H3303H5532H4428H8334H4428H3045 5Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.H138H1121H2294H4984H559H4427H6213H7393H6571H2572H376H7323H6440 6And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom.H1H6087H3117H559H6213H3966H2896H8389H3205H310H53 7And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.H1697H3097H1121H6870H54H3548H310H138H5826 8But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.H6659H3548H1141H1121H3077H5416H5030H8096H7472H1368H1732H138 9And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants:H138H2076H6629H1241H4806H68H2120H681H5883H7121H251H4428H1121H582H3063H4428H5650 10But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.H5416H5030H1141H1368H8010H251H7121 11Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?H5416H559H1339H517H8010H559H8085H138H1121H2294H4427H1732H113H3045 12Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.H3212H3289H6098H4422H5315H5315H1121H8010 13Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?H3212H935H4428H1732H559H113H4428H7650H519H559H3588H8010H1121H4427H310H3427H3678H138H4427 14Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.H1696H4428H935H310H4390H1697 15And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.H1339H935H4428H2315H4428H3966H2204H49H7767H8334H4428 16And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?H1339H6915H7812H4428H4428H559 17And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.H559H113H7650H3068H430H519H8010H1121H4427H310H3427H3678 18And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:H138H4427H113H4428H3045 19And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.H2076H7794H4806H6629H7230H7121H1121H4428H54H3548H3097H8269H6635H8010H5650H7121 20And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.H113H4428H5869H3478H5046H3427H3678H113H4428H310 21Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.H113H4428H7901H1H1121H8010H2400 22And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.H1696H4428H5416H5030H935 23And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.H5046H4428H559H5416H5030H935H6440H4428H7812H4428H639H776 24And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?H5416H559H113H4428H559H138H4427H310H3427H3678 25For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.H3381H3117H2076H7794H4806H6629H7230H7121H4428H1121H8269H6635H54H3548H398H8354H6440H559H2421H4428H138 26But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.H5650H6659H3548H1141H1121H3077H5650H8010H7121 27Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?H1697H1961H113H4428H3045H5650H3427H3678H113H4428H310 28Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.H4428H1732H6030H559H7121H1339H935H4428H6440H5975H6440H4428 29And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,H4428H7650H559H3068H2416H6299H5315H6869 30Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.H7650H3068H430H3478H559H8010H1121H4427H310H3427H3678H6213H3117 31Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.H1339H6915H639H776H7812H4428H559H113H4428H1732H2421H5769 32And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.H4428H1732H559H7121H6659H3548H5416H5030H1141H1121H3077H935H6440H4428 33The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:H4428H559H3947H5650H113H8010H1121H7392H6506H3381H1521 34And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.H6659H3548H5416H5030H4886H4428H3478H8628H7782H559H2421H4428H8010 35Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.H5927H310H935H3427H3678H4427H6680H5057H3478H3063 36And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.H1141H1121H3077H6030H4428H559H543H3068H430H113H4428H559 37As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.H3068H113H4428H8010H1431H3678H1431H3678H113H4428H1732 38So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.H6659H3548H5416H5030H1141H1121H3077H3774H6432H3381H8010H7392H4428H1732H6506H3212H1521 39And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.H6659H3548H3947H7161H8081H168H4886H8010H8628H7782H5971H559H2421H4428H8010 40And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.H5971H5927H310H5971H2490H2485H8056H1419H8057H776H1234H6963 41And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?H138H7121H8085H3615H398H3097H8085H6963H7782H559H6963H7151H1993 42And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.H1696H3129H1121H54H3548H935H138H559H935H2428H376H381H1319H2896H1319 43And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.H3129H6030H559H138H61H113H4428H1732H8010H4427 44And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule:H4428H7971H6659H3548H5416H5030H1141H1121H3077H3774H6432H7392H4428H6506 45And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.H6659H3548H5416H5030H4886H4428H1521H5927H8056H7151H1949H6963H8085 46And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.H8010H3427H3678H4410 47And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.H4428H5650H935H1288H113H4428H1732H559H430H8034H8010H3190H8034H1431H3678H1431H3678H4428H7812H4904 48And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.H559H4428H1288H3068H430H3478H5414H3427H3678H3117H5869H7200 49And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.H7121H138H2729H6965H3212H376H1870 50And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.H138H3372H6440H8010H6965H3212H2388H7161H4196 51And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.H5046H8010H559H138H3372H4428H8010H270H7161H4196H559H4428H8010H7650H3117H4191H5650H2719 52And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.H8010H559H2428H1121H8185H5307H776H7451H4672H4191 53So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.H4428H8010H7971H3381H4196H935H7812H4428H8010H8010H559H3212H1004
