1 Kings 1:22-45
22And, loH2009, whileH5750 sheH5973 yet talkedH1696 with the kingH4428, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 cameH935 in.
23And they toldH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030. And when he was comeH935 in beforeH6440 the kingH4428, he bowedH7812 himselfH7812 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 with his faceH6440 to the groundH776.
24And NathanH5416 saidH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, hast thou saidH559, AdonijahH138 shall reignH4427 afterH310 meH5921, and he shall sitH3427 uponH5921 my throneH3678?
25For he is goneH3381 downH3381 this dayH3117, and hath slain oxenH7794 and fatlingsH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, and the captainsH8269 of the hostH6635, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548; and, beholdH2009, they eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 him, and sayH559, GodH559 save kingH4428 AdonijahH138.
26But meH7121, evenH3808 meH7121 thy servantH5650, and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and thy servantH5650 SolomonH8010, hath he notH3808 calledH7121.
27Is this thingH1697 doneH1961 by my lordH113 the kingH4428, and thou hast notH3808 shewed unto thy servantsH5650 who should sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him?
28Then kingH4428 DavidH1732 answeredH559 and saidH559, CallH7121 meH6440 Bath-sheba. And sheH7121 cameH935 intoH935 the king’sH4428 presenceH6440, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
29And the kingH4428 sware, and saidH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth, who hath redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 outH3605 of allH3605 adversityH6869,
30verily as I sware unto thee by the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 meH5921, and he shall sitH3427 uponH5921 my throneH3678 in my steadH8478; verily soH3651 will I doH6213 this dayH3117:
31Then Bath-sheba bowedH7812 with herH559 faceH639 to the earthH776, and didH7812 obeisance to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 liveH2421 for everH5769.
32And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559, CallH7121 meH6440 ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077. And they cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
33And the kingH4428, saidH559 unto them, TakeH3947 with youH834 the servantsH5650 of your lordH113, and causeH7392 SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to rideH7392 uponH5921 mineH5973 ownH5973 mute, and bringH3381 him downH3381 to GihonH1521:
34and let ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 anointH4886 him there kingH4428 over IsraelH3478: and blowH8628 ye with the trumpetH7782, and sayH559, GodH559 save kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
35Then ye shall comeH935 upH5927 afterH310 him, and he shall comeH935 and sitH3427 uponH5921 my throneH3678; for he shall be kingH4427 in my steadH8478: and I have appointedH6680 him to be princeH5057 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063.
36And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 answeredH559 the kingH4428, and saidH559, AmenH543: the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of my lordH3068 the kingH4428, sayH559 soH3651 too.
37As the LORDH3068 hath been with my lordH3068 the kingH4428, evenH3651 soH3651 be he with SolomonH8010, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 thanH4428 the throneH3678 of my lordH3068 kingH4428 DavidH1732.
38SoH3381 ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the Cherethites and the PelethitesH6432, wentH3381 downH3381, and caused SolomonH8010 to rideH7392 uponH5921 kingH4428 David’sH1732 muleH6506, and broughtH3381 him to GihonH1521.
39And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 tookH3947 the hornH7161 of oilH8081 outH4480 of the TentH168, and anointedH4886 SolomonH8010. And they blewH8628 the trumpetH7782; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 saidH559, GodH559 save kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
40And allH3605 the peopleH5971 cameH5927 upH5927 afterH310 him, and the peopleH5971 piped with pipes, and rejoicedH8056 with greatH1419 joyH8057, soH5927 that the earthH776 rent with the soundH6963 of them.
41And AdonijahH138 and allH3605 the guestsH7121 that were with him heardH8085 it as they had madeH7121 an endH3615 of eatingH398. And when JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, Wherefore is this noiseH6963 of the cityH7151 being in an uproarH1993?
42WhileH5750 he yet spake, beholdH2009, JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935: and AdonijahH138 saidH559, ComeH935 in; for thou art a worthyH2428 manH376, and bringest goodH2896 tidingsH1319.
43And JonathanH3129 answeredH559 and saidH559 to AdonijahH138, Verily our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 hath made SolomonH8010 kingH4428:
44and the kingH4428 hath sentH7971 with him ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774 and the PelethitesH6432, and they have causedH854 him to rideH7392 uponH5921 the king’sH4428 muleH6506:
45and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521: and they are comeH5927 upH5927 from thence rejoicingH8056, soH5927 that the cityH7151 rang again. This is the noiseH6963 that ye have heardH8085.
