1 Kings 2:16-28

16And nowH6258 I askH7592 oneH259 petitionH7596 of thee; deny me not. And she saidH559 unto him, SayH559 on. 17And he saidH559, Speak, I pray thee, unto SolomonH8010 the kingH4428 (for he will not sayH559 thee nay), that he giveH5414 me AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 to wifeH802. 18And Bath-sheba saidH559, Well; I will speakH1696 for thee unto the kingH4428.

19Bath-sheba therefore wentH935 unto kingH4428 SolomonH8010, to speakH1696 unto him for AdonijahH138. And the kingH4428 roseH6965 up to meet her, and bowedH7812 himself unto her, and satH3427 downH7812 on his throneH3678, and caused a throneH3678 to be setH7760 for the king’sH4428 motherH517; and she satH3427 on his rightH3225 handH3225. 20Then she saidH559, I askH7592 oneH259 smallH6996 petitionH7596 of thee; deny me not. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, AskH7592 on, my motherH517; for I will not deny thee. 21And she saidH559, Let AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 be givenH5414 to AdonijahH138 thy brotherH251 to wifeH802. 22And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 answered and saidH559 unto his motherH517, And whyH4100 dost thou askH7592 AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 for AdonijahH138? askH7592 for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brotherH251; even for him, and for AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and for JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870. 23Then kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sware by Jehovah, sayingH559, GodH430 do so to me, and more also, if AdonijahH138 hath not spokenH1696 this wordH1697 against his ownH5315 lifeH5315. 24NowH6258 thereforeH6258 as Jehovah liveth, who hath establishedH3559 me, and set me on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and who hath madeH6213 me a houseH1004, as he promised, surely AdonijahH138 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191 this dayH3117. 25And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 by BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; and he fellH6293 upon him, so that he diedH4191.

26And unto AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 saidH559 the kingH4428, Get thee to AnathothH6068, unto thine own fieldsH7704; for thou art worthy of deathH4191: but I will not at this time putH4191 thee to deathH4191, because thou barest the arkH727 of the LordH136 Jehovah before DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my fatherH1 was afflicted. 27So SolomonH8010 thrust out AbiatharH54 from being priestH3548 unto Jehovah, that he might fulfil the wordH1697 of Jehovah, which he spake concerning the houseH1004 of EliH5941 in ShilohH7887.

28And the tidings cameH935 to JoabH3097; for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 after AdonijahH138, though he turnedH5186 not after AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 unto the TentH168 of Jehovah, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
