| 1:1 | 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} |
| 1:2 | 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} |
| 1:3 | 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>. |
| 1:4 | 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. |
| 1:5 | 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} |
| 1:6 | 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} |
| 1:7 | 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} |
| 1:8 | 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>. |
| 1:9 | 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} |
| 1:10 | 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. |
| 1:11 | 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? |
| 1:12 | 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>. |
| 1:13 | 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)? |
| 1:14 | 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} |
| 1:15 | 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>. |
| 1:16 | 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?} |
| 1:17 | 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>. |
| 1:18 | And now, behold, Adonijah <0138> reigneth <04427> (8804); and now, my lord <0113> the king <04428>, thou knowest <03045> (8804) [it] not: |
| 1:19 | 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). |
| 1:20 | 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. |
| 1:21 | 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} |
| 1:22 | And, lo, while she yet talked <01696> (8764) with the king <04428>, Nathan <05416> the prophet <05030> also came in <0935> (8804). |
| 1:23 | 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>. |
| 1:24 | 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>? |
| 1:25 | 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} |
| 1:26 | 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). |
| 1:27 | 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? |
| 1:28 | 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} |
| 1:29 | 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>, |
| 1:30 | 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>. |
| 1:31 | 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>. |
| 1:32 | 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>. |
| 1:33 | 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} |
| 1:34 | 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>. |
| 1:35 | 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>. |
| 1:36 | 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]. |
| 1:37 | 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>. |
| 1:38 | 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>. |
| 1:39 | 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>. |
| 1:40 | 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} |
| 1:41 | 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)? |
| 1:42 | 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). |
| 1:43 | 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). |
| 1:44 | 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>: |
| 1:45 | 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). |
| 1:46 | And also Solomon <08010> sitteth <03427> (8804) on the throne <03678> of the kingdom <04410>. |
| 1:47 | 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>. |
| 1:48 | 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]. |
| 1:49 | 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>. |
| 1:50 | 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>. |
| 1:51 | 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>. |
| 1:52 | 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). |
| 1:53 | 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>. |
