1 Kings 1:38-50

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.

46And also SolomonH8010 sitteth on the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4410.

47And moreoverH1571 the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 cameH935 to blessH1288 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Thy GodH430 makeH1431 the nameH8034 of SolomonH8010 betterH3190 thanH5921 thy nameH8034, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 thanH5921 thy throneH3678, and the kingH4428 bowedH7812 himselfH7812 uponH5921 the bedH4904.

48And also thusH3602 saidH559 the kingH4428, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 hath givenH5414 one to sitH3427 on my throneH3678 this dayH3117, mine eyesH5869 evenH1571 seeingH7200 it.

49And allH3605 the guestsH7121 of AdonijahH138 were afraidH2729, and roseH6965 upH6965, and wentH6965 everyH3605 manH376 his wayH1870.

50And AdonijahH138 fearedH3372 becauseH6440 of SolomonH8010; and he aroseH6965, and wentH6965, and caughtH2388 holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
