1 Kings 1:3-15

3And they soughtH1245 for a fair damsel throughout the territoryH1366 of IsraelH3478, and foundH4672 AbishagH49 a ShunammiteH7767, and broughtH935 her to the kingH4428.

4And the damsel wasH1961 veryH3966 fair; and cherished the kingH4428, and ministered to him; but the kingH4428 knewH3045 her not.

5And AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 exalted himself, sayingH559, I will be kingH4427; and he provided himself chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 before him.

6And his fatherH1 had not grieved him at any time in sayingH559, WhyH4069 doest thou so? and he was alsoH1571 a veryH3966 comely man; and [his mother] boreH3205 him after AbsalomH53.

7And he conferred with JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and with AbiatharH54 the priestH3548; and they helpedH5826 AdonijahH138 and followed [him].

8But ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and ShimeiH8096, and Rei, and the mightyH1368 menH1368 whom DavidH1732 had, were not with AdonijahH138.

9And AdonijahH138 sacrificedH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and fatted cattleH1241 by the stoneH68 of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogelH5883, and invited all his brethren, the king's sonsH1121, and all the menH376 of JudahH3063, the king's servantsH5650;

10but NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141, and the mightyH1368 menH1368, and SolomonH8010 his brotherH251, he did not invite.

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.
