1 Kings 2:16-28

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.

25And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 by the handH3027 of BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; who fellH6293 on him, that he diedH4191.

26And the kingH4428 saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Go to AnathothH6068, to thine own fieldsH7704; for thou art worthy of deathH4191; but I will not at this time putH4191 thee to deathH4191, because thou didst bearH5375 the arkH727 of Adonai Jehovah before DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my fatherH1 was afflicted.

27And SolomonH8010 thrust out AbiatharH54 from being priestH3548 to Jehovah, to fulfil the wordH1697 of Jehovah, which he had spokenH1696 concerning the houseH1004 of EliH5941 in ShilohH7887.

28And the reportH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097 (for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 after AdonijahH138, though he had not turnedH5186 after AbsalomH53); and JoabH3097 fledH5127 to the tentH168 of Jehovah, and caught holdH2388 of the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
