1 Kings 1:11-21
11And NathanH5416 spoke to Bathsheba the motherH517 of SolomonH8010, sayingH559, Hast thou not heardH8085 that AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 is kingH4427, and DavidH1732 our lordH113 does not knowH3045 [it]?
12And nowH6258, come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counselH6098, that thou mayest saveH4422 thine ownH5315 lifeH5315, and the lifeH5315 of thy sonH1121 SolomonH8010.
13GoH935 and get thee in to kingH4428 DavidH1732, and sayH559 to him, Didst not thou, my lordH113, O kingH4428, swearH7650 to thy handmaid sayingH559, SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 after me, and he shall sitH3427 on my throneH3678? whyH4069 then does AdonijahH138 reignH4427?
14Behold, while thou yetH5750 talkest there with the kingH4428, I also will comeH935 in after thee and confirm thy wordsH1697.
15And Bathsheba wentH935 in to the kingH4428 into the chamberH2315; and the kingH4428 was veryH3966 oldH2204; and AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 ministered to the kingH4428.
16And Bathsheba bowedH7812 and did obeisance to the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, What wouldest thou?
17And she saidH559 to him, My lord, thou hast swornH7650 by Jehovah thy 1GodH430 to thy handmaid, [sayingH559,] SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 after me, and he shall sitH3427 on my throneH3678.
18And nowH6258 behold, AdonijahH138 is kingH4428; and nowH6258, my lordH113 the kingH4428, thou knowest it not.
19And he has sacrificedH2076 oxen and fatted cattle and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and has invited all the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428 and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 and JoabH3097 the captain of the hostH6635; but SolomonH8010 thy servantH5650 has he not invited.
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 shall come to pass when my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall sleep with his fathersH1, that I and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 will beH1961 counted offenders.
