1 Kings 1:15-21

15And Bath-sheba wentH935 in unto the kingH4428 into the chamberH2315: and the kingH4428 was veryH3966 oldH2204; and AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 was ministering unto the kingH4428. 16And Bath-sheba bowedH7812, and did obeisance unto the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, What wouldest thou? 17And she saidH559 unto him, My lord, thou swarest by Jehovah thy GodH430 unto thy handmaid, sayingH559, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 after me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678. 18And nowH6258, behold, AdonijahH138 reigneth; and thou, my lordH113 the kingH4428, knowest it not: 19and he hath slain oxen and fatlingsH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 all the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and JoabH3097 the captain of the hostH6635; but SolomonH8010 thy servantH5650 hath he not calledH7121. 20And thou, my lordH113 the kingH4428, the eyesH5869 of all IsraelH3478 are upon thee, that thou shouldest tellH5046 them who shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 after him. 21Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall sleep with his fathersH1, that I and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 shall beH1961 counted offenders.
