1 Kings 2:21-24
21So Bathsheba saidH559, “Let AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 be givenH5414 to your brotherH251 AdonijahH138 as his wifeH802.”
22KingH4428 SolomonH8010H559 answeredH6030 his motherH517, “WhyH4100 do youH859 requestH7592 AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 for AdonijahH138? SinceH3588 heH1931 is my olderH1419H4480 brotherH251, you might as well requestH7592 the kingdomH4410 for him and for AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 and for JoabH3097 sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870!”
23Then KingH4428 SolomonH8010 sworeH7650 by the LORDH3068H559: “May GodH430 punishH3541H6213 me, and ever soH3541 severelyH3254, ifH3588 AdonijahH138 has not madeH1696 thisH2088 requestH1697 at the expense of his lifeH5315. 24And nowH6258, as surely as the LORDH3068 livesH2416—the OneH834 who established meH3559, who set meH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of my fatherH1 DavidH1732, and who foundedH6213 for me a dynastyH1004 asH834 He promisedH1696—surelyH3588 AdonijahH138 shall be put to deathH4191 todayH3117!”
