1 Kings 1:41-49
41Now AdonijahH138 and allH3605 the guestsH7121 whoH834 were with him heardH8085 it as they finishedH3615 eatingH398. When JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, “WhyH4069 1is the cityH7151 makingH1993 such an uproarH1993?” 42While he was stillH5750 speakingH1696, beholdH2009, 2JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935. Then AdonijahH138 saidH559, “ComeH935 in, for 3you are a valiantH2428 manH376 and bringH1319 goodH2896 newsH1319.” 43But JonathanH3083 repliedH6030 to AdonijahH138, “NoH61! Our lordH113 KingH4428 DavidH1732 has madeH4427 SolomonH8010 kingH4428. 44The kingH4428 has also sentH7971 with him ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432; and they have made him rideH7392 on the king’sH4428 muleH6506. 45ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521, and they have comeH5927 up from thereH8033 rejoicingH8056, 4so that the cityH7151 is in an uproarH1949. ThisH1931 is the noiseH6963 whichH834 you have heardH8085. 46BesidesH1571, 5SolomonH8010 has evenH1571 takenH3427 his seatH3427 on the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4410. 47MoreoverH1571, the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 cameH935 to blessH1288 our lordH113 KingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, ‘May 6your GodH430 makeH3190 the nameH8034 of SolomonH8010 betterH3190 thanH4480 your nameH8034 and his throneH3678 greaterH1431 thanH4480 your throneH3678!’ And 7the kingH4428 bowedH7812 himself on the bedH4904. 48The kingH4428 has alsoH1571 saidH559 thusH3602, ‘BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, whoH834 8has grantedH5414 one to sitH3427 on my throneH3678 todayH3117 while my own eyesH5869 seeH7200 it.’”
49Then allH3605 the guestsH7121 of AdonijahH138 were terrifiedH2729; and they aroseH6965 and eachH376 wentH1980 on his wayH1870.
