1 Kings 1:16-21

16Then BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915 and prostratedH7812 herself 1before the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, “WhatH4100 2do you wish?” 17She saidH559 to him, “My lordH113, you sworeH7650 to your maidservantH519 by the LordH3068 your GodH430, saying, ‘3SurelyH3588 your sonH1121 SolomonH8010 shall be kingH4427 afterH310 me and he shall sitH3427 on my throneH3678.’ 18NowH6258, beholdH2009, AdonijahH138 is kingH4427; and nowH6258, my lordH113 the kingH4428, you do not knowH3045 it. 194He has sacrificedH2076 oxenH7794 and fatlingsH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and has invitedH7121 allH3605 the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428 and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 and JoabH3097 the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635, but he has not invitedH7121 SolomonH8010 your servantH5650. 20As for you now, my lordH113 the kingH4428, the eyesH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478 are on you, to tellH5046 them whoH4310 shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him. 21Otherwise it will comeH1961 about, 5as soon as my lordH113 the kingH4428 sleepsH7901 with his fathersH1, that I and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 will be considered 6offendersH2400.”
