1 Kings 1:15-21

15And Bath-sheba wentH935 in unto the kingH4428 intoH413 the chamberH2315: and the kingH4428 was veryH3966 oldH2204; and AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 ministeredH8334 unto the kingH4428.

16And Bath-sheba bowedH7812, and didH4100 obeisance unto the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, WhatH4100 wouldest thou?

17And sheH1931 saidH559 unto him, My lordH3068, thou swarest by the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 unto thine handmaidH519, sayingH559, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 meH5921, and he shah sitH3427 uponH5921 my throneH3678.

18And nowH6258, beholdH2009, AdonijahH138 reigneth; and thou, my lordH113 the kingH4428, knowest it notH3808:

19and he hath slain oxenH7794 and fatlingsH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 allH3605 the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635: but SolomonH8010 thy servantH5650 hath he notH3808 calledH7121.

20And thou, my lordH113 the kingH4428, the eyesH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478 are uponH5921 thee, that thou shouldest tellH5046 them who shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him.

21Otherwise it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, when my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall sleepH7901 with his fathersH1, that I and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 shall be counted offendersH2400.
