1 Kings 1:41-49

41Now AdonijahH138 and allH3605 the guestsH7121 whoH834 were with him heardH8085 this as they finishedH3615 eatingH398. When JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, “WhyH4069 is the 1cityH7151 makingH1993 such anH1993 uproarH1993?” 42While he was stillH5750 speakingH1696, beholdH2009, 2JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935. Then AdonijahH138 saidH559, “ComeH935 inH935, for 3you are a valiantH2428 manH376 and you bringH1319 goodH2896 newsH1319.” 43But JonathanH3083 repliedH6030 to AdonijahH138, “On the contraryH61! 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 mountedH7392 him on the king’sH4428 muleH6506. 45Furthermore, ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521, and they have comeH5927 upH5927 from thereH8033 rejoicingH8056, 4so that the cityH7151 is goingH1949 wildH1949. 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 bowedH2331 himself on the bedH4904. 48The kingH4428 has alsoH1571 saidH559 thisH3602: ‘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 trembledH2729 and gotH6965 upH6965, and eachH376 wentH1980 on his wayH1870.
