1 King David was now very old, and no matter how many blankets covered him, he could not keep warm.

2 So his advisers told him, "Let us find a young virgin to wait on you and look after you, my lord. She will lie in your arms and keep you warm."

3 So they searched throughout the land of Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishag from Shunem and brought her to the king.

4 The girl was very beautiful, and she looked after the king and took care of him. But the king had no sexual relations with her.

5 About that time David's son Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith, began boasting, "I will make myself king." So he provided himself with chariots and charioteers and recruited fifty men to run in front of him.

6 Now his father, King David, had never disciplined him at any time, even by asking, "Why are you doing that?" Adonijah had been born next after Absalom, and he was very handsome.

7 Adonijah took Joab son of Zeruiah and Abiathar the priest into his confidence, and they agreed to help him become king.

8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David's personal bodyguard refused to support Adonijah.

9 Adonijah went to the Stone of Zoheleth near the spring of En-rogel, where he sacrificed sheep, cattle, and fattened calves. He invited all his brothers-- the other sons of King David-- and all the royal officials of Judah.

10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the king's bodyguard or his brother Solomon.

11 Then Nathan went to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, and asked her, "Haven't you heard that Haggith's son, Adonijah, has made himself king, and our lord David doesn't even know about it?

12 If you want to save your own life and the life of your son Solomon, follow my advice.

13 Go at once to King David and say to him, 'My lord the king, didn't you make a vow and say to me, "Your son Solomon will surely be the next king and will sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?'

14 And while you are still talking with him, I will come and confirm everything you have said."

15 So Bathsheba went into the king's bedroom. (He was very old now, and Abishag was taking care of him.)

16 Bathsheba bowed down before the king."What can I do for you?" he asked her.

17 She replied, "My lord, you made a vow before the LORD your God when you said to me, 'Your son Solomon will surely be the next king and will sit on my throne.'

18 But instead, Adonijah has made himself king, and my lord the king does not even know about it.

19 He has sacrificed many cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons to attend the celebration. He also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab, the commander of the army. But he did not invite your servant Solomon.

20 And now, my lord the king, all Israel is waiting for you to announce who will become king after you.

21 If you do not act, my son Solomon and I will be treated as criminals as soon as my lord the king has died."

22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.

23 The king's officials told him, "Nathan the prophet is here to see you." Nathan went in and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.

24 Nathan asked, "My lord the king, have you decided that Adonijah will be the next king and that he will sit on your throne?

25 Today he has sacrificed many cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons to attend the celebration. He also invited the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest. They are feasting and drinking with him and shouting, 'Long live King Adonijah!'

26 But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or your servant Solomon.

27 Has my lord the king really done this without letting any of his officials know who should be the next king?"

28 King David responded, "Call Bathsheba!" So she came back in and stood before the king.

29 And the king repeated his vow: "As surely as the LORD lives, who has rescued me from every danger,

30 your son Solomon will be the next king and will sit on my throne this very day, just as I vowed to you before the LORD, the God of Israel."

31 Then Bathsheba bowed down with her face to the ground before the king and exclaimed, "May my lord King David live forever!"

32 Then King David ordered, "Call Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada." When they came into the king's presence,

33 the king said to them, "Take Solomon and my officials down to Gihon Spring. Solomon is to ride on my own mule.

34 There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. Blow the ram's horn and shout, 'Long live King Solomon!'

35 Then escort him back here, and he will sit on my throne. He will succeed me as king, for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah."

36 "Amen!" Benaiah son of Jehoiada replied. "May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, decree that it happen.

37 And may the LORD be with Solomon as he has been with you, my lord the king, and may he make Solomon's reign even greater than yours!"

38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the king's bodyguard took Solomon down to Gihon Spring, with Solomon riding on King David's own mule.

39 There Zadok the priest took the flask of olive oil from the sacred tent and anointed Solomon with the oil. Then they sounded the ram's horn and all the people shouted, "Long live King Solomon!"

40 And all the people followed Solomon into Jerusalem, playing flutes and shouting for joy. The celebration was so joyous and noisy that the earth shook with the sound.

41 Adonijah and his guests heard the celebrating and shouting just as they were finishing their banquet. When Joab heard the sound of the ram's horn, he asked, "What's going on? Why is the city in such an uproar?"

42 And while he was still speaking, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest arrived. "Come in," Adonijah said to him, "for you are a good man. You must have good news."

43 "Not at all!" Jonathan replied. "Our lord King David has just declared Solomon king!

44 The king sent him down to Gihon Spring with Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, protected by the king's bodyguard. They had him ride on the king's own mule,

45 and Zadok and Nathan have anointed him at Gihon Spring as the new king. They have just returned, and the whole city is celebrating and rejoicing. That's what all the noise is about.

46 What's more, Solomon is now sitting on the royal throne as king.

47 And all the royal officials have gone to King David and congratulated him, saying, 'May your God make Solomon's fame even greater than your own, and may Solomon's reign be even greater than yours!' Then the king bowed his head in worship as he lay in his bed,

48 and he said, 'Praise the LORD, the God of Israel, who today has chosen a successor to sit on my throne while I am still alive to see it.'"

49 Then all of Adonijah's guests jumped up in panic from the banquet table and quickly scattered.

50 Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, so he rushed to the sacred tent and grabbed onto the horns of the altar.

51 Word soon reached Solomon that Adonijah had seized the horns of the altar in fear, and that he was pleading, "Let King Solomon swear today that he will not kill me!"

52 Solomon replied, "If he proves himself to be loyal, not a hair on his head will be touched. But if he makes trouble, he will die."

53 So King Solomon summoned Adonijah, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed respectfully before King Solomon, who dismissed him, saying, "Go on home."

1 Now king ^H4428 David ^H1732 ^MMS was old ^H2204 and stricken ^H935 ^VQPMS in years ^H3117 ^BD-NMP ; and they covered ^H3680 him with clothes ^H899 , but he got no heat ^H3808 ^W-NPAR .

2 Wherefore his servants ^H5650 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MP unto him , Let there be sought ^H1245 for my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS a young ^H5291 virgin ^H1330 : and let her stand ^H5975 before ^H6440 ^L-CMP the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , and let her cherish ^H5532 him , and let her lie ^H7901 in thy bosom ^H2436 , that my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 may get heat ^H2552 .

3 So they sought ^H1245 for a fair ^H3303 ^AFS damsel ^H5291 throughout all ^H3605 the coasts ^H1366 ^CMS of Israel ^H3478 , and found ^H4672 Abishag ^H49 a Shunammite ^H7767 , and brought ^H935 her to the king ^H4428 .

4 And the damsel ^H5291 was very ^H5704 ^PREP fair ^H3303 ^AFS , and cherished ^H5532 the king ^H4428 , and ministered ^H8334 to him : but the king ^H4428 knew ^H3045 her not ^H3808 ^NADV .

5 Then Adonijah ^H138 the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Haggith ^H2294 exalted himself ^H4984 , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , I ^H589 ^PPRO-1MS will be king ^H4427 : and he prepared ^H6213 ^W-VQY3MS him chariots ^H7393 and horsemen ^H6571 , and fifty ^H2572 ^W-MMP men ^H376 ^NMS to run ^H7323 before ^H6440 him .

6 And his father ^H1 ^CMS-3MS had not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR displeased ^H6087 him at any time ^H3117 in saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , Why ^H4069 ^IPRO hast thou done ^H6213 ^VQQ2MS so ^H3602 ^ADV ? and he ^H1931 ^PPRO-3MS also ^H1571 ^W-CONJ was a very ^H3966 ^ADV goodly ^H2896 ^AMS man ; and his mother bore ^H3205 him after ^H310 ^PREP Absalom ^H53 .

7 And he conferred ^H1697 with ^H5973 ^PREP Joab ^H3097 the son ^H1121 of Zeruiah ^H6870 , and with ^H5973 Abiathar ^H54 the priest ^H3548 : and they following ^H310 ^PREP Adonijah ^H138 helped ^H5826 him .

8 But Zadok ^H6659 the priest ^H3548 , and Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Jehoiada ^H3077 , and Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030 , and Shimei ^H8096 , and Rei ^H7472 , and the mighty men ^H1368 which ^H834 ^RPRO belonged to David ^H1732 ^L-NAME , were ^H1961 ^VQQ3MP not ^H3808 ^NADV with ^H5973 ^PREP Adonijah ^H138 .

9 And Adonijah ^H138 slew ^H2076 sheep ^H6629 ^NMS and oxen ^H1241 ^W-NMS and fat cattle ^H4806 by ^H5973 ^PREP the stone ^H68 ^GFS of Zoheleth ^H2120 , which ^H834 ^RPRO is by ^H681 En ^H5883 - rogel , and called ^H7121 ^W-VQY3MS all ^H3605 ^NMS his brethren ^H251 ^NMP-3MS the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS \'s sons ^H1121 , and all ^H3605 ^NMS the men ^H376 ^CMP of Judah ^H3063 the king ^H4428 \'s servants ^H5650 :

10 But Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030 , and Benaiah ^H1141 , and the mighty men ^H1368 , and Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS his brother ^H251 ^CMS-3MS , he called ^H7121 not ^H3808 ^NADV .

11 Wherefore Nathan ^H5416 spoke ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto ^H413 ^PREP Bath ^H1339 - sheba the mother ^H517 ^GFS of Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS , saying ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Hast thou not ^H3808 ^ADV heard ^H8085 that ^H3588 ^CONJ Adonijah ^H138 the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Haggith ^H2294 doth reign ^H4427 , and David ^H1732 our lord ^H113 knoweth ^H3045 it not ^H3808 ^NADV ?

12 Now ^H6258 ^W-ADV therefore come ^H1980 , let me , I pray thee ^H4994 ^IJEC , give ^H3289 thee counsel ^H6098 ^NFS , that thou mayest save ^H4422 thine own life ^H5315 ^GFS , and the life ^H5315 ^GFS of thy son ^H1121 Solomon ^H8010 .

13 Go ^H1980 and get thee in ^H935 unto ^H413 ^PREP king ^H4428 ^D-NMS David ^H1732 ^MMS , and say ^H559 unto ^H413 ^PREP-3MS him , Didst not ^H3808 ^I-NPAR thou ^H859 ^PPRO-2MS , my lord ^H113 , O king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , swear ^H7650 unto thine handmaid ^H519 , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , Assuredly ^H3588 ^CONJ Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS thy son ^H1121 shall reign ^H4427 after ^H310 me , and he ^H1931 ^W-PPRO-3MS shall sit ^H3427 upon ^H5921 ^PREP my throne ^H3678 ? why ^H4069 then doth Adonijah ^H138 reign ^H4427 ?

14 Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , while thou yet ^H5750 talkest ^H1696 there ^H8033 ^ADV with ^H5973 ^PREP the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , I ^H589 ^W-PPRO-1MS also will come in ^H935 ^VQI1MS after ^H310 thee , and confirm ^H4390 thy words ^H1697 .

15 And Bath ^H1339 - sheba went in ^H935 ^W-VQY3FS unto ^H413 ^PREP the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS into the chamber ^H2315 : and the king ^H4428 was very ^H3966 ^ADV old ^H2204 ; and Abishag ^H49 the Shunammite ^H7767 ministered unto ^H8334 the king ^H4428 .

16 And Bath ^H1339 - sheba bowed ^H6915 , and did obeisance ^H7812 unto the king ^H4428 . And the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , What ^H4100 ^IPRO wouldest thou ?

17 And she said ^H559 ^W-VQY3FS unto him , My lord ^H113 , thou ^H859 ^PPRO-2MS swarest ^H7650 by the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 ^CMP-2MS unto thine handmaid ^H519 , saying , Assuredly ^H3588 ^CONJ Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS thy son ^H1121 shall reign ^H4427 after ^H310 me , and he ^H1931 ^W-PPRO-3MS shall sit ^H3427 upon ^H5921 ^PREP my throne ^H3678 .

18 And now ^H6258 ^W-ADV , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , Adonijah ^H138 reigneth ^H4427 ; and now ^H6258 ^W-ADV , my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , thou knowest ^H3045 it not ^H3808 ^NADV :

19 And he hath slain ^H2076 oxen ^H7794 ^CMS and fat cattle ^H4806 and sheep ^H6629 in abundance ^H7230 ^LD-NMS , and hath called ^H7121 ^W-VQY3MS all ^H3605 ^L-CMS the sons ^H1121 of the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , and Abiathar ^H54 the priest ^H3548 , and Joab ^H3097 the captain ^H8269 of the host ^H6635 : but Solomon ^H8010 thy servant ^H5650 hath he not ^H3808 ^NADV called ^H7121 ^W-VQY3MS .

20 And thou ^H859 ^W-PPRO-2MS , my lord ^H113 , O king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , the eyes ^H5869 ^CMD of all ^H3605 ^CMS Israel ^H3478 are upon ^H5921 ^PREP thee , that thou shouldest tell ^H5046 ^L-VHFC them who ^H4310 ^IPRO shall sit ^H3427 on ^H5921 ^PREP the throne ^H3678 of my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS after ^H310 him .

21 Otherwise it shall come to pass ^H1961 ^W-VQQ3MS , when my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS shall sleep ^H7901 with ^H5973 ^PREP his fathers ^H1 , that I ^H589 ^PPRO-1MS and my son ^H1121 Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS shall be counted ^H1961 ^W-VQQ3MS offenders ^H2400 .

22 And , lo ^H2009 ^IJEC , while she yet ^H5750 talked ^H1696 with ^H5973 ^PREP the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030 also came in ^H935 .

23 And they told ^H5046 the king ^H4428 , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030 . And when he was come in ^H935 ^W-VQY3MS before ^H6440 ^L-CMP the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , he bowed himself ^H7812 before the king ^H4428 with ^H5921 ^PREP his face ^H639 to the ground ^H776 ^NFS-3FS .

24 And Nathan ^H5416 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , My lord ^H113 , O king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , hast thou ^H859 ^PPRO-2MS said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Adonijah ^H138 shall reign ^H4427 after ^H310 me , and he ^H1931 ^W-PPRO-3MS shall sit ^H3427 upon ^H5921 ^PREP my throne ^H3678 ?

25 For ^H3588 ^CONJ he is gone down ^H3381 ^VQQ3MS this day ^H3117 ^D-AMS , and hath slain ^H2076 oxen ^H7794 ^CMS and fat cattle ^H4806 and sheep ^H6629 in abundance ^H7230 ^LD-NMS , and hath called ^H7121 ^W-VQY3MS all ^H3605 ^L-CMS the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS \'s sons ^H1121 , and the captains ^H8269 of the host ^H6635 , and Abiathar ^H54 the priest ^H3548 ; and , behold ^H2009 , they eat ^H398 and drink ^H8354 ^W-VQPMP before ^H6440 ^L-CMP-3MS him , and say ^H559 ^W-VQY3MP , God save ^H2421 king ^H4428 ^D-NMS Adonijah ^H138 .

26 But me , even me ^H589 thy servant ^H5650 , and Zadok ^H6659 the priest ^H3548 , and Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Jehoiada ^H3077 , and thy servant ^H5650 Solomon ^H8010 , hath he not ^H3808 ^NADV called ^H7121 .

27 Is this ^H2088 ^D-PMS thing ^H1697 ^D-NMS done ^H1961 by my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , and thou hast not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR showed it unto ^H3045 thy servant ^H5650 , who ^H4310 ^IPRO should sit ^H3427 on ^H5921 ^PREP the throne ^H3678 of my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS after ^H310 him ?

28 Then king ^H4428 ^D-NMS David ^H1732 ^MMS answered ^H6030 ^W-VQY3MS and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Call ^H7121 me Bath ^H1339 - sheba . And she came into ^H935 ^W-VQY3FS the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS \'s presence ^H6440 ^L-CMP , and stood ^H5975 before ^H6440 ^L-CMP the king ^H4428 .

29 And the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS swore ^H7650 , and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , As the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS liveth ^H2416 ^AMS , that ^H834 ^RPRO hath redeemed ^H6299 ^VQQ3MS my soul ^H5315 ^CFS-1MS out of all ^H3605 ^M-CMS distress ^H6869 ^NFS ,

30 Even ^H3588 ^CONJ as ^H834 ^K-RPRO I swore ^H7650 unto thee by the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 ^CDP of Israel ^H3478 , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , Assuredly ^H3588 ^CONJ Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS thy son ^H1121 shall reign ^H4427 after ^H310 me , and he ^H1931 ^W-PPRO-3MS shall sit ^H3427 upon ^H5921 ^PREP my throne ^H3678 in my stead ^H8478 ; even ^H3588 ^CONJ so ^H3651 ^ADV will I certainly do ^H6213 this ^H2088 ^D-PMS day ^H3117 ^D-AMS .

31 Then Bath ^H1339 - sheba bowed ^H6915 with her face ^H639 ^NMD to the earth ^H776 ^GFS , and did reverence ^H7812 to the king ^H4428 , and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3FS , Let my lord ^H113 king ^H4428 ^D-NMS David ^H1732 ^MMS live ^H2421 forever ^H5769 ^L-NMS .

32 And king ^H4428 ^D-NMS David ^H1732 ^MMS said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Call ^H7121 me Zadok ^H6659 the priest ^H3548 , and Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030 , and Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada ^H3077 . And they came ^H935 ^W-VQY3MP before ^H6440 ^L-CMP the king ^H4428 .

33 The king ^H4428 ^D-NMS also said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto them , Take ^H3947 with ^H5973 ^PREP-3MP you the servants ^H5650 of your lord ^H113 , and cause Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS my son ^H1121 to ride ^H7392 upon ^H5921 ^PREP mine own mule ^H6506 , and bring him down ^H3381 to ^H413 ^PREP Gihon ^H1521 :

34 And let Zadok ^H6659 the priest ^H3548 and Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030 anoint ^H4886 him there ^H8033 ^ADV king ^H4428 ^L-CMS over ^H5921 ^PREP Israel ^H3478 : and blow ^H8628 ye with the trumpet ^H7782 , and say ^H559 , God save ^H2421 king ^H4428 ^D-NMS Solomon ^H8010 .

35 Then ye shall come up ^H5927 after ^H310 ^PREP-3MS him , that he may come ^H935 and sit ^H3427 upon ^H5921 ^PREP my throne ^H3678 ; for he ^H1931 ^W-PPRO-3MS shall be king ^H4427 in my stead ^H8478 : and I have appointed ^H6680 him to be ^H1961 ^L-VQFC ruler ^H5057 ^NMS over ^H5921 ^PREP Israel ^H3478 and over ^H5921 ^PREP Judah ^H3063 .

36 And Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Jehoiada ^H3077 answered ^H6030 ^W-VQY3MS the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Amen ^H543 : the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS God ^H430 ^CDP of my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 say ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS so ^H3651 ^ADV too .

37 As ^H834 ^K-RPRO the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS hath been ^H1961 ^VQQ3MS with ^H5973 ^PREP my lord ^H113 the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , even so ^H3651 ^ADV be ^H1961 he with ^H5973 ^PREP Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS , and make his throne greater ^H1431 than the throne ^H3678 of my lord ^H113 king ^H4428 ^D-NMS David ^H1732 .

38 So Zadok ^H6659 the priest ^H3548 , and Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030 , and Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Jehoiada ^H3077 , and the Cherethites ^H3774 , and the Pelethites ^H6432 , went down ^H3381 ^W-VQY3MS , and caused Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS to ride ^H7392 upon ^H5921 ^PREP king ^H4428 ^D-NMS David ^H1732 ^MMS \'s mule ^H6506 , and brought ^H1980 him to ^H5921 ^PREP Gihon ^H1521 .

39 And Zadok ^H6659 the priest ^H3548 took ^H3947 ^W-VQY3MS a horn ^H7161 of oil ^H8081 out of ^H4480 ^PREP the tabernacle ^H168 , and anointed ^H4886 Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS . And they blew ^H8628 the trumpet ^H7782 ; and all ^H3605 ^NMS the people ^H5971 said ^H559 , God save ^H2421 king ^H4428 ^D-NMS Solomon ^H8010 .

40 And all ^H3605 ^CMS the people ^H5971 came up ^H5927 after ^H310 him , and the people ^H5971 piped ^H2490 with pipes ^H2485 , and rejoiced ^H8056 with great ^H1419 ^AFS joy ^H8057 , so that the earth ^H776 ^D-GFS rent ^H1234 with the sound ^H6963 of them .

41 And Adonijah ^H138 and all ^H3605 ^W-CMS the guests ^H7121 that ^H834 ^RPRO were with ^H854 ^PREP-3MS him heard ^H8085 it as they ^H1992 ^W-PPRO-3MP had made an end ^H3615 of eating ^H398 ^L-VQFC . And when Joab ^H3097 heard ^H8085 the sound ^H6963 ^CMS of the trumpet ^H7782 , he said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Wherefore ^H4069 ^IPRO is this noise ^H6963 of the city ^H7151 being in an uproar ^H1993 ?

42 And while he yet ^H5750 spoke ^H1696 ^VPPMS , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , Jonathan ^H3129 the son ^H1121 of Abiathar ^H54 the priest ^H3548 came ^H935 ^VQPMS : and Adonijah ^H138 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto him , Come in ^H935 ; for ^H3588 ^CONJ thou ^H859 ^PPRO-2MS art a valiant ^H2428 ^NMS man ^H376 ^NMS , and bringest good tidings ^H1319 .

43 And Jonathan ^H3129 answered ^H6030 ^W-VQY3MS and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS to Adonijah ^H138 , Verily ^H61 our lord ^H113 king ^H4428 David ^H1732 ^MMS hath made Solomon king ^H4427 .

44 And the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS hath sent ^H7971 ^W-VQY3MS with ^H854 ^PREP-3MS him Zadok ^H6659 the priest ^H3548 , and Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030 , and Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada ^H3077 , and the Cherethites ^H3774 , and the Pelethites ^H6432 , and they have caused him to ride ^H7392 upon ^H5921 ^PREP the king ^H4428 \'s mule ^H6506 :

45 And Zadok ^H6659 the priest ^H3548 and Nathan ^H5416 the prophet ^H5030 have anointed ^H4886 him king ^H4428 ^L-CMS in Gihon ^H1521 : and they are come up ^H5927 from thence ^H8033 ^M-ADV rejoicing ^H8056 , so that the city ^H7151 rang ^H1949 again . This ^H1931 ^PPRO-3MS is the noise ^H6963 that ^H834 ^RPRO ye have heard ^H8085 .

46 And also ^H1571 ^W-CONJ Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS sitteth ^H3427 ^VQQ3MS on ^H5921 ^PREP the throne ^H3678 of the kingdom ^H4410 .

47 And moreover ^H1571 ^W-CONJ the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS \'s servants ^H5650 came ^H935 ^VQQ3MP to bless ^H1288 our lord ^H113 king ^H4428 ^D-NMS David ^H1732 ^MMS , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , God ^H430 make the name ^H8034 ^CMS of Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS better ^H3190 than thy name ^H8034 , and make his throne ^H3678 greater ^H1431 than thy throne ^H3678 . And the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS bowed himself ^H7812 upon ^H5921 ^PREP the bed ^H4904 .

48 And also ^H1571 ^W-CONJ thus ^H3602 ^ADV said ^H559 ^VQQ3MS the king ^H4428 ^D-NMS , Blessed ^H1288 ^VWQ3MS be the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS God ^H430 ^CDP of Israel ^H3478 , which ^H834 ^RPRO hath given ^H5414 ^VQQ3MS one to sit ^H3427 ^VQPMS on ^H5921 ^PREP my throne ^H3678 this day ^H3117 ^D-AMS , mine eyes ^H5869 ^W-CMD-1MS even seeing ^H7200 it .

49 And all ^H3605 ^NMS the guests ^H7121 that ^H834 ^RPRO were with Adonijah ^H138 were afraid ^H2729 , and rose up ^H6965 , and went ^H1980 ^W-VQY3MP every man ^H376 ^NMS his way ^H1870 .

50 And Adonijah ^H138 feared ^H3372 ^VQQ3MS because ^H6440 ^M-CMP of Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS , and arose ^H6965 ^W-VQY3MS , and went ^H1980 ^W-VQY3MS , and caught hold ^H2388 on the horns ^H7161 of the altar ^H4196 .

51 And it was told ^H5046 Solomon ^H8010 , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , Adonijah ^H138 feareth ^H3372 ^VQQ3MS king ^H4428 ^D-NMS Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS : for , lo ^H2009 ^IJEC , he hath caught hold ^H270 on the horns ^H7161 of the altar ^H4196 ^D-NMS , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , Let king ^H4428 ^D-NMS Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS swear ^H7650 unto me today ^H3117 that he will not ^H518 ^PART slay ^H4191 ^VHY3MS his servant ^H5650 with the sword ^H2719 .

52 And Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , If ^H518 ^PART he will show ^H1961 ^VQY3MS himself a worthy ^H2428 ^NMS man ^H1121 , there shall not ^H3808 ^ADV a hair of him fall ^H5307 ^VQY3MS to the earth ^H776 ^NFS-3FS : but if ^H518 ^PART wickedness ^H7451 ^AFS shall be found ^H4672 ^VNY3FS in him , he shall die ^H4191 .

53 So king ^H4428 ^D-NMS Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS sent ^H7971 ^W-VQY3MS , and they brought him down ^H3381 from ^M-PREP the altar ^H4196 ^D-NMS . And he came ^H935 ^W-VQY3MS and bowed himself ^H7812 to king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS : and Solomon ^H8010 ^MMS said ^H559 unto him , Go ^H1980 ^VQI2MS to thine house ^H1004 .
