1 Kings 2:12-24

12And SolomonH8010 satH3427 on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1; and his kingdom was establishedH3559 greatly.

13And AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 cameH935 to Bathsheba the motherH517 of SolomonH8010. And she saidH559, Comest thou peaceably? And he saidH559, Peaceably.

14And he saidH559, I have something to sayH559 to thee. And she saidH559, SpeakH1696.

15And he saidH559, Thou knowest that the kingdom wasH1961 mine, and all IsraelH3478 had setH7760 their facesH6440 on me that I should reignH4427; but the kingdom is turnedH5437 about and is becomeH1961 my brother's, for it wasH1961 his from Jehovah.

16And nowH6258 I askH7592 oneH259 petitionH7596 of thee; refuse me not. And she saidH559 to him, SpeakH1696.

17And he saidH559, Speak, I pray thee, to SolomonH8010 the kingH4428 — for he will not refuse thee — that he giveH5414 me AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 as wifeH802.

18And Bathsheba saidH559, Well, I will speakH1696 for thee to the kingH4428.

19And Bathsheba wentH935 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010, to speakH1696 to him for AdonijahH138. And the kingH4428 roseH6965 up to meet her, and bowedH7812 himself to her, and satH3427 downH7812 on his throneH3678; and he caused a throneH3678 to be setH7760 for the king's motherH517, and she satH3427 on his rightH3225 handH3225.

20Then she saidH559, I desire oneH259 smallH6996 petitionH7596 of thee; refuse me not. And the kingH4428 saidH559 to her, AskH7592, my motherH517, for I will not refuse thee.

21And she saidH559, Let AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 be givenH5414 to AdonijahH138 thy brotherH251 as wifeH802.

22And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 answered and saidH559 to 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.

23And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sworeH7650 by Jehovah sayingH559, 1GodH430 do so to me, and more also, — AdonijahH138 has spokenH1696 this wordH1697 against his ownH5315 lifeH5315!

24And nowH6258 [as] Jehovah liveth, who has establishedH3559 me, and set me on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and who has madeH6213 me a houseH1004, as he promised, AdonijahH138 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191 this dayH3117.
