1 Kings 1:22-45

22And, lo, while she yetH5750 talked with the kingH4428, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 cameH935 in. 23And they toldH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, Behold, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030. And when he was comeH935 in before the kingH4428, he bowedH7812 himself before the kingH4428 with his faceH6440 to the groundH776. 24And NathanH5416 saidH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, hast thou saidH559, AdonijahH138 shall reignH4427 after me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678? 25For he is goneH3381 down this dayH3117, and hath slain oxen and fatlingsH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 all the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, and the captains of the hostH6635, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548; and, behold, they are eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 before him, and sayH559, Long liveH2421 kingH4428 AdonijahH138. 26But me, even me thy servantH5650, and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and thy servantH5650 SolomonH8010, hath he not calledH7121. 27Is this thingH1697 done by my lordH113 the kingH4428, and thou hast not showed unto thy servantsH5650 who should sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 after him?

28Then kingH4428 DavidH1732 answered and saidH559, CallH7121 to me Bath-sheba. And she cameH935 into the king’sH4428 presenceH6440, and stoodH5975 before the kingH4428. 29And the kingH4428 sware, and saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 out of all adversity, 30verily as I sware unto thee by Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 after me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678 in my stead; verily soH3651 will I do this dayH3117. 31Then Bath-sheba bowedH7812 with her faceH639 to the earthH776, and did obeisance to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 liveH2421 for everH5769.

32And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559, CallH7121 to me ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077. And they cameH935 before the kingH4428. 33And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto them, TakeH3947 with you the servantsH5650 of your lordH113, and causeH7392 SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to rideH7392 upon mine own muleH6506, and bringH3381 him downH3381 to GihonH1521: 34and let ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 anointH4886 him there kingH4428 over IsraelH3478; and blowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782, and sayH559, Long liveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010. 35Then ye shall comeH935 up after him, and he shall comeH935 and sitH3427 upon my throneH3678; for he shall beH1961 kingH4427 in my stead; and I have appointedH6680 him to beH1961 princeH5057 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063. 36And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 answered the kingH4428, and saidH559, AmenH543: Jehovah, the GodH430 of my lord the kingH4428, sayH559 soH3651 too. 37As Jehovah hath beenH1961 with my lord the kingH4428, even soH3651 beH1961 he with SolomonH8010, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than the throneH3678 of my lord kingH4428 DavidH1732.

38So ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, wentH3381 downH3381, and caused SolomonH8010 to rideH7392 upon kingH4428 David’s muleH6506, and broughtH3381 him to GihonH1521. 39And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 tookH3947 the hornH7161 of oilH8081 out of the TentH168, and anointedH4886 SolomonH8010. And they blewH8628 the trumpetH7782; and all the peopleH5971 saidH559, Long liveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010. 40And all the peopleH5971 cameH5927 up after him, and the peopleH5971 piped with pipes, and rejoiced with greatH1419 joyH8057, so that the earthH776 rent with the soundH6963 of them.

41And AdonijahH138 and all the guests that were with him heardH8085 it as they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398. And whenH834 JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproarH1993? 42While he yetH5750 spake, behold, JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935: and AdonijahH138 saidH559, ComeH935 in; for thou art a worthy manH376, and bringest goodH2896 tidings. 43And JonathanH3129 answered and saidH559 to AdonijahH138, Verily our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 hath made SolomonH8010 kingH4428: 44and the kingH4428 hath sentH7971 with him ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to rideH7392 upon the king’sH4428 muleH6506; 45and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521; and they are comeH5927 up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heardH8085.
