1 Kings 2:16-28

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. 25And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 by the handH3027 of BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077; and he fellH6293 upon him that he diedH4191.

26And to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 saidH559 the kingH4428, DepartH3212 to AnathothH6068, to thy own fieldsH7704; for thou art worthyH376 of deathH4194: but I will not at this timeH3117 put thee to deathH4191, because thou didst bearH5375 the arkH727 of the LordH136 GODH3069 beforeH6440 DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and because thou hast been afflictedH6031 in all in which my fatherH1 was afflictedH6031.2 27So SolomonH8010 removedH1644 AbiatharH54 from being priestH3548 to the LORDH3068; that he might fulfilH4390 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spokeH1696 concerning the houseH1004 of EliH5941 in ShilohH7887. 28Then tidingsH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097: for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 afterH310 AdonijahH138, though he turnedH5186 not afterH310 AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 to the tabernacleH168 of the LORDH3068, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
