1 Kings 2:12-24

12Then SolomonH8010 was seatedH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1; and his kingdomH4438 was establishedH3559 greatlyH3966. 13And AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 cameH935 to BathshebaH1339 the motherH517 of SolomonH8010. And she saidH559, ComestH935 thou peaceablyH7965? And he saidH559, PeaceablyH7965. 14He saidH559 moreover, I have somewhat to sayH1697 to thee. And she saidH559, Say onH1696. 15And he saidH559, Thou knowestH3045 that the kingdomH4410 was mine, and that all IsraelH3478 setH7760 their facesH6440 on me, that I should reignH4427: but the kingdomH4410 is turned aboutH5437, and hath become my brother’sH251: for it was his from the LORDH3068. 16And now I askH7592 oneH259 petitionH7596 of thee, denyH7725 meH6440 not. And she saidH559 to him, Say onH1696.1 17And he saidH559, SpeakH559, I pray thee, to SolomonH8010 the kingH4428, (for he will not sayH7725 to theeH6440 noH7725,) that he giveH5414 me AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 for a wifeH802. 18And BathshebaH1339 saidH559, WellH2896; I will speakH1696 for thee to the kingH4428. 19BathshebaH1339 therefore wentH935 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010, to speakH1696 to him for AdonijahH138. And the kingH4428 rose upH6965 to meetH7125 her, and bowedH7812 himself to her, and sat downH3427 on his throneH3678, and caused a seatH3678 to be setH7760 for the king’sH4428 motherH517; and she satH3427 on his right handH3225. 20Then she saidH559, I desireH7592 oneH259 smallH6996 petitionH7596 of thee; I pray thee, denyH7725 meH6440 notH7725. And the kingH4428 saidH559 to her, Ask onH7592, my motherH517: for I will not denyH7725 theeH6440. 21And she saidH559, Let AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 be givenH5414 to AdonijahH138 thy brotherH251 for a wifeH802. 22And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to his motherH517, And why dost thou askH7592 AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 for AdonijahH138? askH7592 for him the kingdomH4410 also; for he is my elderH1419 brotherH251; even for him, and for AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and for JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870. 23Then kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sworeH7650 by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, GodH430 doH6213 so to me, and more alsoH3254, if AdonijahH138 hath not spokenH1696 this wordH1697 against his own lifeH5315. 24Now therefore, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, who hath establishedH3559 me, and setH3427 me on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and who hath madeH6213 me an houseH1004, as he promisedH1696, AdonijahH138 shall be put to deathH4191 this dayH3117.
