1 Kings 1:1-10

1Now KingH4428 DavidH1732 was oldH2204, advancedH935 in ageH3117; and they coveredH3680 him with clothesH899, but he could not keepH2552 warmH2552. 2So his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, “Let them seekH1245 a youngH5291 virginH1330 for my lordH113 the kingH4428, and let her 1attendH5975H6440 the kingH4428 and becomeH1961 his nurseH5532; and let her lieH7901 in your bosomH2436, that my lordH113 the kingH4428 may keepH2552 warmH2552.” 3So they searchedH1245 for a beautifulH3303 girlH5291 throughout allH3605 the territoryH1366 of IsraelH3478, and foundH4672 AbishagH49 the 2ShunammiteH7767, and broughtH935 her to the kingH4428. 4The girlH5291 was veryH3966 beautifulH3303; and she becameH1961 the king’sH4428 nurseH5532 and servedH8334 him, but the kingH4428 did not 3cohabitH3045 with her.

5Now 4AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 exaltedH5375 himself, sayingH559, “I will be kingH4427.” So 5he preparedH6213 for himself chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 with fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him. 6His fatherH1 had neverH3808 6crossedH6087 him at anyH4480 timeH3117 by askingH559, “WhyH4069 have you doneH6213 soH3602?” And he was alsoH1571 a veryH3966 handsomeH2896H8389 manH2896, and 78he was bornH3205 afterH310 AbsalomH53. 79He had conferredH1697 with 10JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 and with 11AbiatharH54 the priestH3548; and followingH310 12AdonijahH138 they helpedH5826 him. 8But 13ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, 14BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, 15NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, 16ShimeiH8096, ReiH7472, and 17the mightyH1368 menH1368 whoH834 belonged to DavidH1732, were not with AdonijahH138.

9AdonijahH138 sacrificedH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and fatlingsH4806 by the 18stoneH68 of ZohelethH2120, whichH834 is besideH681 19En-rogelH5883; and he invitedH7121 allH3605 his brothersH251, the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, and allH3605 the menH376 of JudahH3063, the king’sH4428 servantsH5650. 10But he did not inviteH7121 NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, BenaiahH1141, the mightyH1368 menH1368, and 20SolomonH8010 his brotherH251.
