5: And AdonijahH0138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 exalted himselfH5375 saying,H0559 IH0589 will be king.H4427 And he preparedH6213 chariotsH7393 and horsemen,H6571 and fiftyH2572 menH0376 to runH7323 before him.H6440

8: But ZadokH6659 the priest,H3548 and BenaiahH1141 sonH1121 of Jehoiada,H3077 and NathanH5416 the prophet,H5030 and Shimei,H8096 and Rei,H7472 and the mighty menH1368 who [belonged]H0834 to David,H1732 notH3808 wereH1961 withH5973 Adonijah.H0138

9: And sacrificedH2076 AdonijahH0138 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and fattened cattleH4806 byH5973 the stoneH0068 the stone of Zoheleth,H2120 which [is]H0834 byH0681 En Rogel,H5883 and he invitedH7121 -H0853 allH3605 his brothersH0251 sons,H1121 of the kingH4428 and allH3605 the menH0376 of JudahH3063 servantsH5650 of the king.H4428

10: ButH0853 NathanH5416 the prophet,H5030 and Benaiah,H1141 andH0853 the mighty men,H1368 orH0853 SolomonH8010 his brother,H0251 notH3808 he did invite.H7121

11: So spokeH0559 NathanH5416 toH0413 BathshebaH1339 the motherH0517 of Solomon,H8010 saying,H0559 have notH3808 you heardH8085 thatH3588 has become king,H4427 AdonijahH0138 sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 and our lordH0113 DavidH1732 notH3808 does know [it]?H3045

12: nowH6258 come,H1980 let me give youH3289 please,H4994 advice,H6098 that you may saveH4422 -H0853 your own life,H5315 andH0853 the lifeH5315 of your sonH1121 Solomon.H8010

13: GoH1980 and immediatelyH0935 toH0413 KingH4428 David,H1732 and sayH0559 to himH0413 did notH3808 you,H0859 my lord,H0113 king,H4428 swearH7650 to your maidservant,H0519 saying,H0559 AssuredlyH3588 SolomonH8010 your sonH1121 shall reignH4427 after meH0310 and heH1931 shall sitH3427 onH5921 my throne?H3678 then whyH4069 has become kingH4427 Adonijah?H0138

14: then,H2009 while youH5750 are still talkingH1696 thereH8033 withH5973 the king,H4428 and IH0589 will come inH0935 after youH0310 and confirmH4390 -H0853 your words.H1697

15: So wentH0935 BathshebaH1339 toH0413 the kingH4428 into the chamber.H2315 And the kingH4428 was old-H2204 veryH3966 and AbishagH0049 the ShunammitessH7767 was servingH8334 -H0853 the king.H4428

16: And bowed,H6915 BathshebaH1339 and did homageH7812 to the king.H4428 And said,H0559 the kingH4428 whatH4100

17: And she saidH0559 My lord,H0113 youH0859 sworeH7650 by YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 to your maidservant,H0519 [saying] AssuredlyH3588 SolomonH8010 your sonH1121 shall reignH4427 after meH0310 and heH1931 shall sitH3427 onH5921 my throne.H3678

18: So now,H6258 look,H2009 AdonijahH0138 has become king-H4427 now,H6258 my lordH0113 the king,H4428 not-H3808 you do know about [it].H3045

19: And He has sacrificedH2076 oxenH7794 and fattened cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundance,H7230 and has invitedH7121 allH3605 the sonsH1121 of the king,H4428 and AbiatharH0054 the priest,H3548 and JoabH3097 the commanderH8269 of the army,H6635 but SolomonH8010 your servantH5650 notH3808 he has invited.H7121

20: And as for you,H0859 my lord,H0113 king,H4428 the eyesH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478 [are] on youH5921 that you should tellH5046 whoH4310 will sitH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of my lordH0113 the kingH4428 after him.H0310

21: And Otherwise it will come to pass,H1961 when restsH7901 my lordH0113 the kingH4428 withH5973 his fathers,H0001 that will be countedH1961 IH0589 and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 as sinful.H2400

22: And just then,H2009 while sheH5750 was still talkingH1696 withH5973 the king,H4428 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 came in.H0935

23: So they toldH5046 the king,H4428 saying,H0559 Here isH2009 NathanH5416 the prophet.H5030 And when he came inH0935 beforeH6440 the king,H4428 and he bowed downH7812 before the kingH4428 withH5921 his faceH0639 to the ground.H0776

24: And said,H0559 NathanH5416 My lord,H0113 king,H4428 youH0859 have said,H0559 AdonijahH0138 shall reignH4427 after meH0310 and heH1931 shall sitH3427 onH5921 my throne?H3678

25: forH3588 he has gone downH3381 today,H3117 and has sacrificedH2076 oxenH7794 and fattened cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundance,H7230 and has invitedH7121 allH3605 sons,H1121 of the kingH4428 and the commandersH8269 of the army,H6635 and AbiatharH0054 the priest-H3548 and look,H2009 they are eatingH0398 and drinkingH8354 before himH6440 and they say,H0559 [Long] liveH2421 KingH4428 Adonijah.H0138 meH0589 your servant,H5650 nor ZadokH6659 the priest,H3548 nor BenaiahH1141 sonH1121 of Jehoiada,H3077 nor Solomon,H8010 your servantH5650 notH3808 he has invited.H7121

27: LoH0518 byH0853 my lordH0113 the king,H4428 Has been doneH1961 thingH1697 thisH2088 and notH3808 you have toldH3045 -H0853 your servant,H5650 whoH4310 should sitH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of my lordH0113 the kingH4428 after him.H0310

28: And answeredH6030 KingH4428 DavidH1732 and said,H0559 CallH7121 to Bathsheba.H1339 So she cameH0935 into presence,H6440 of the kingH4428 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the king.H4428

29: And took an oath,H7650 the kingH4428 and said,H0559 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 whoH0834 has redeemedH6299 -H0853 my lifeH5315 from everyH3605 distress,H6869

30: justH3588 asH0834 I sworeH7650 by YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 saying,H0559 AssuredlyH3588 SolomonH8010 your sonH1121 shall be kingH4427 after meH0310 and heH1931 shall sitH3427 onH5921 my throneH3678 in my place-H8478 evenH3588 soH3651 I will surely doH6213 dayH3117 this.H2088

31: And bowedH6915 BathshebaH1339 with [her] faceH0639 to the earth,H0776 and paid homageH7812 to the king,H4428 and said,H0559 let liveH2421 my lordH0113 KingH4428 DavidH1732 forever.H5769

45: So have anointedH4886 himH0853 ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 kingH4428 at Gihon,H1521 and they have gone upH5927 from thereH8033 rejoicing,H8056 so that is in an uproarH1949 the cityH7151 that [is]H1931 the noiseH6963 thatH0834 you have heard.H8085

46: AndH1571 sitsH3427 SolomonH8010 onH5921 the throneH3678 of the kingdom.H4410
