 1:18 And now,º behold,º Adonijahº reigneth;ºº and now,º my adonº the king,º thou knowestºº [it] not:º

 1:19 And he has sacrificed calves and lambs and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander-in-chief of the host; but Solomon thy servant he has not called.

 1:19 And he hath slainºº oxenº and fat cattleº and sheepº in abundance,º and hath calledºº allº the sonsº of the king,º and Abiatharº the priest,º and Joabº the captainº of the host:º but Solomonº thy servantº hath he notº called.ºº

 1:25 Forº he is gone downºº this day,º and hath slainºº oxenº and fat cattleº and sheepº in abundance,º and hath calledºº allº the king'sº sons,º and the captainsº of the host,º and Abiatharº the priest;º and, behold,º they eatºº and drinkºº beforeº him, and say,ºº God saveºº kingº Adonijah.º

 1:26 But he has not invited me thy servant, and Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest, and Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} the son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae}, and Solomon thy servant.

 1:26 But me, [even] meº thy servant,º and Zadokº the priest,º and Benaiahº the sonº of Jehoiada,º and thy servantº Solomon,º hath he notº called.ºº

 1:27 Has this matter happened by the authority of my lord the king, and hast thou not made known to thy servant who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him?

 1:27 Is thisº thingº doneºº byºº my adonº the king,º and thou hast notº shewedºº [it] untoºº thy servant,º whoº should sitºº onº the throneº of my adonº the kingº afterº him?

 1:28 ¶ And king David answered and said, Call me Beersheba{gr.Bersabee}: and she came in before the king, and stood before him.

 1:28 ¶ Then kingº Davidº answeredºº and said,ºº Callºº me Bathsheba.º And she cameºº intoº the king'sº presence,º and stoodºº beforeº the king.º

 1:30 as I swore to thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.

 1:31 And Beersheba{gr.Bersabee} bowed with her face to the ground, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.

 1:31 Then Bathshebaº bowedºº with [her] faceº to the earth,º and did reverenceºº to the king,º and said,ºº Let my adonº kingº Davidº liveºº for ever.º

 1:32 ¶ And king David said, Call me Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} the son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae}: and they came in before the king.

 1:32 ¶ And kingº Davidº said,ºº Callºº me Zadokº the priest,º and Nathanº the prophet,º and Benaiahº the sonº of Jehoiada.º And they cameºº beforeº the king.º

 1:33 And the king said to them, Take the servants of your lord with you, and mount my son Solomon upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gion.

 1:33 The kingº also saidºº unto them, Takeºº withº youº the servantsº of your adon,º and causeº Solomonº my sonº to rideºº uponº mine own mule,º and bring him downººº toº Gihon:º

 1:35 And he shall sit upon my throne, and reign in my stead: and I have given charge that he should be for a prince over Israel and Judah{gr.Juda}.

 1:35 Then ye shall come upºº afterº him, that he may comeºº and sitºº uponº my throne;º for heº shall be kingºº in my stead:º and I have appointedºº him to beº rulerº overº Israelº and overº Judah.º

 1:36 And Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} the son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae} answered the king and said, So let it be: may the Lord God of my lord the king confirm [it].

 1:36 And Benaiahº the sonº of Jehoiadaº answeredººº the king,º and said,ºº Amen:º Yahwehº Elohimº of my adonº the kingº sayºº soº [too].

 1:37 As the Lord was with my lord the king, so let him be with Solomon, and let him exalt his throne beyond the throne of my lord king David.

 1:37 Asº Yahwehº hath beenº withº my adonº the king,º even soº beº he withº Solomon,º and makeºº his throneº greaterºººº than the throneºº of my adonº kingº David.º

 1:38 And Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest went down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae}, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite{gr.Phelethite}, and they mounted Solomon upon the mule of king David, and led him away to Gion.

 1:38 So Zadokº the priest,º and Nathanº the prophet,º and Benaiahº the sonº of Jehoiada,º and the Cherethites,º and the Pelethites,º went down,ºº and causedº Solomonº to rideºº uponº kingº David'sº mule,º and broughtººº him toº Gihon.º

 1:39 And Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon, and blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Let king Solomon live.

 1:39 And Zadokº the priestº tookººº an hornº of oilº out ofº the tabernacle,º and anointedººº Solomon.º And they blewºº the trumpet;º and allº the peopleº said,ºº God saveºº kingº Solomon.º

 1:40 And all the people went up after him, and they danced in choirs, and rejoiced with great joy, and the earth quaked with their voice.

 1:40 And allº the peopleº came upºº afterº him, and the peopleº pipedºº with pipes,º and rejoicedº with greatº joy,º so that the earthº rentºº with the soundº of them.

 1:41 ¶ And Adonijah{gr.Adonias} and all his guests heard, and they had [just] left off eating: and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and said, What [means] the voice of the city in tumult?

 1:41 ¶ And Adonijahº and allº the guestsºº thatº [were] withº him heardºº [it] as theyº had made an endºº of eating.ºº And when Joabº heardººº the soundº of the trumpet,º he said,ºº Whereforeº [is this] noiseº of the cityº being in an uproar?ºº

 1:42 While he was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came in: and Adonijah{gr.Adonias} said, Come in, for thou art a mighty man, and [thou comest] to bring glad tidings.

 1:42 And while he yetº spake,ºº behold,º Jonathanº the sonº of Abiatharº the priestº came:ºº and Adonijahº saidºº unto him, Come in;ºº forº thouº [art] a valiantº man,ººº and bringestºº goodº tidings.ººº

 1:43 And Jonathan answered and said, Verily our lord king David has made Solomon king:

 1:43 And Jonathanº answeredºº and saidºº to Adonijah,º Verilyº our adonº kingº Davidº hath made Solomonº king.ºººº

 1:44 and the king has sent with him Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah{gr.Banaeas} the son of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae}, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite{gr.Phelethite}, and they have mounted him on the king's mule;

 1:44 And the kingº hath sentºº withº himº Zadokº the priest,º and Nathanº the prophet,º and Benaiahº the sonº of Jehoiada,º and the Cherethites,º and the Pelethites,º and they have caused him to rideººº uponº the king'sº mule:º

 1:45 and Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him in Gion, and have gone up thence rejoicing, and the city resounded: this [is] the sound which ye have heard.

 1:45 And Zadokº the priestº and Nathanº the prophetº have anointedºº him kingº in Gihon:º and they are come upºº from thenceºº rejoicing,º so that the cityº rangº again.ºº Thisº [is] the noiseº thatº ye have heard.ºº

 1:46 And Solomon is seated upon the throne of the kingdom.

 1:46 And alsoº Solomonº sittethºº onº the throneº of the kingdom.º

 1:47 And the servants of the king have gone in to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne; and the king worshipped upon his bed.

 1:47 And moreoverº the king'sº servantsº cameºº to blessººº our adonº kingº David,º saying,ºº Elohimº makeº the nameº of Solomonº betterºº than thy name,ºº and makeººº his throneº greaterºº than thy throne.ºº And the kingº bowedºº himselfº uponº the bed.º

 1:48 Moreover thus said the king, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who has this day appointed one of my seed sitting on my throne, and my eyes see it.

 1:48 And alsoº thusº saidºº the king,º Blessedºº [be] Yahwehº Elohimº of Israel,º whichº hath givenºº [one] to sitºº onº my throneº this day,º mine eyesº even seeingºº [it].

 1:49 And all the guests of Adonijah{gr.Adonias} were dismayed, and every man went his way.

 1:49 And allº the guestsºº thatº [were] with Adonijahº were afraid,ºº and rose up,ºº and wentººº every manº his way.º

 1:50 ¶ And Adonijah{gr.Adonias} feared because of Solomon, and arose, and departed, and laid hold on the horns of the altar.

 1:50 ¶ And Adonijahº fearedºº becauseºº of Solomon,º and arose,ºº and went,ººº and caught holdºº on the hornsº of the altar.º

 1:51 And it was reported to Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah{gr.Adonias} fears king Solomon, and holds the horns of the altar, saying, Let Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

 1:51 And it was toldºº Solomon,º saying,ºº Behold,º Adonijahº fearethººº kingº Solomon:º for, lo,º he hath caught holdºº on the hornsº of the altar,º saying,ºº Let kingº Solomonº swearºº unto me to dayº that he will notº slayººº his servantº with the sword.º

 1:52 And Solomon said, If he should be a valiant man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the ground; but if evil be found in him, he shall die.

 1:52 And Solomonº said,ºº Ifº he will shewº himself a worthyº man,º there shall notº an hairº ofºº him fallºº to the earth:º but ifº wickednessº shall be foundºº in him, he shall die.ºº

 1:53 And king Solomon sent, and they brought him away from the altar; and he went in and did obeisance to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to thy house.

 1:53 So kingº Solomonº sent,ºº and they brought him downºº fromºº the altar.º And he cameºº and bowedºº himselfº to kingº Solomon:º and Solomonº saidºº unto him, Goººº to thine house.º
