1 Kings 1:5-9

5Now 1Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” So 2he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men to run before him. 6And his father had never rebuked him at any time by asking, “Why have you done so?” And he was also a very handsome man, and 3 4he was born after Absalom. 7Now 5he had conferred with 6Joab the son of Zeruiah and with 7Abiathar the priest; and they allied themselves with 8Adonijah. 8But 9Zadok the priest, 10Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 11Nathan the prophet, 12Shimei, Rei, and 13the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

9Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened steers by the 14stone of Zoheleth, which is beside 15En-rogel; and he invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants.
