1 Kings 1:15-21

15So BathshebaH1339 enteredH935 to the kingH4428 in the bedroomH2315. Now 1the kingH4428 wasH2204 veryH3966 oldH2204, and AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 was servingH8334 the kingH4428. 16Then BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915 and prostratedH2331 herself 2before the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, “WhatH4100 3is on your mind?” 17So she saidH559 to him, “My lordH113, you yourselfH859 sworeH7650 to your servantH519 by the LordH3068 your GodH430, saying, ‘4Your sonH1121 SolomonH8010 certainlyH3588 shall beH4427 kingH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 on my throneH3678.’ 18But nowH6258, beholdH2009, AdonijahH138 isH4427 kingH4427; and nowH6258, my lordH113 the kingH4428, you do not knowH3045 it. 195He has sacrificedH2076 oxenH7794 and fattenedH4806 steersH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and has invitedH7121 allH3605 the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428, AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and JoabH3097 the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635, but he has not invitedH7121 SolomonH8010 your servantH5650. 20And as for you, my lordH113 the kingH4428, the eyesH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478 are upon you, to announceH5046 to them whoH4310 shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him. 21Otherwise it will comeH1961 aboutH1961, 6as soon as my lordH113 the kingH4428 7liesH7901 downH7901 with his fathersH1, that I and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 will be considered 8offendersH2400.”
