5Now 1AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 exaltedH5375 himself, sayingH559, “I will be kingH4427.” So 2he preparedH6213 for himself chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 with fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him. 6His fatherH1 had neverH3808 3crossedH6087 him at anyH4480 timeH3117 by askingH559, “WhyH4069 have you doneH6213 soH3602?” And he was alsoH1571 a veryH3966 handsomeH2896H8389 manH2896, and 45he was bornH3205 afterH310 AbsalomH53. 76He had conferredH1697 with 7JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 and with 8AbiatharH54 the priestH3548; and followingH310 9AdonijahH138 they helpedH5826 him. 8But 10ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, 11BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, 12NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, 13ShimeiH8096, ReiH7472, and 14the mightyH1368 menH1368 whoH834 belonged to DavidH1732, were not with AdonijahH138.

9AdonijahH138 sacrificedH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and fatlingsH4806 by the 15stoneH68 of ZohelethH2120, whichH834 is besideH681 16En-rogelH5883; and he invitedH7121 allH3605 his brothersH251, the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, and allH3605 the menH376 of JudahH3063, the king’sH4428 servantsH5650.
