Haste, and go in to king David, and thou shalt speak to him, saying, Hast not thou, my lord, O king, sworn to thine handmaid, saying, Thy son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then does Adonijah{gr.Adonias} reign? |

Go°°°

and did obeisance°°
unto the king.°
And the king°

What°
wouldest thou? |
1:17
And she said, My lord, thou didst swear by the Lord thy God to thine handmaid, saying, Thy son Solomon shall reign after me, and shall sit upon my throne. |

the priest,°
and Joab°

thy servant°
hath he not°
called.°° |
1:20
And thou, my lord, O king,-- the eyes of all Israel [are] upon thee, to tell them who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him. |

And thou,°
my adon,°
O king,°
the eyes°
of all°
Israel°
[are] upon°
thee, that thou shouldest tell°°
them who°
shall sit°°
on°
the throne°
of my adon°
the king°
after°
him. |
1:21
And it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son shall be offenders. |
|
1:21
Otherwise it shall come to pass,°
when my adon°
the king°
shall sleep°°

his fathers,°
that I°
and my son°
Solomon°
shall be counted°
offenders.° |
1:22 ¶

1:23
Behold, Nathan the prophet [is here]: and he came in to the king's presence, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the ground. |
|
1:23
And they told°°
the king,°
saying,°°
Behold°

the prophet.°
And when he was come in°°

the king,°
he bowed°°

1:24
And Nathan said, My lord, O king, didst thou say, Adonijah{gr.Adonias} shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? |

And Nathan°
said,°°
My adon,°
O king,°
hast thou°
said,°°
Adonijah°

after°
me, and he°
shall sit°°
upon°
my throne?° |

God save°°
king°
Adonijah.° |
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] me°
thy servant,°
and Zadok°
the priest,°
and Benaiah°
the son°
of Jehoiada,°
and thy servant°
Solomon,°
hath he not°
called.°° |
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 this°
thing°
done°°
by°°
my adon°
the king,°
and thou hast not°
shewed°°
[it] unto°°
thy servant,°
who°
should sit°°
on°
the throne°
of my adon°
the king°
after°
him? |
1:28 ¶

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. |

Even°
as°
I sware°°

Assuredly°
Solomon°
thy son°

even°
so°

the son°
of Jehoiada.°
And they came°°
before°
the king.° |
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 king°
also said°°
unto them, Take°°
with°
you°
the servants°
of your adon,°
and cause°
Solomon°
my son°
to ride°°
upon°
mine own mule,°
and bring him down°°°
to°
Gihon:° |
1:34
And there let Zadok{gr.Sadoc} the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him to be king over Israel, and do ye sound the trumpet, and ye shall say, Let king Solomon live. |

1:34
And let Zadok°

Solomon.° |
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}. |

Then ye shall come up°°
after°
him, that he may come°°
and sit°°
upon°
my throne;°
for he°
shall be king°°
in my stead:°
and I have appointed°°
him to be°
ruler°
over°
Israel°
and over°
Judah.° |
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 Benaiah°
the son°
of Jehoiada°
answered°°°
the king,°
and said,°°
Amen:°
Yahweh°
Elohim°
of my adon°
the king°
say°°
so°

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
As°
Yahweh°
hath been°
with°
my adon°
the king,°
even so°
be°
he with°
Solomon,°
and make°°
his throne°

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 all°
the people°
came up°°
after°
him, and the people°
piped°°
with pipes,°
and rejoiced°
with great°
joy,°
so that the earth°
rent°°
with the sound°
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 Adonijah°

the guests°°
that°
[were] with°

And when Joab°
heard°°°
the sound°

he said,°°
Wherefore°
[is this] noise°
of the city°
being in an uproar?°° |
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 yet°
spake,°°
behold,°
Jonathan°
the son°
of Abiathar°
the priest°

and Adonijah°
said°°
unto him, Come in;°°
for°
thou°
[art] a valiant°
man,°°°
and bringest°°
good°
tidings.°°° |
1:43
And Jonathan answered and said, Verily our lord king David has made Solomon king: |

1:43
And Jonathan°
answered°°
and said°°
to Adonijah,°
Verily°
our adon°
king°
David°
hath made Solomon°
king.°°°° |
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; |

mule:° |
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 Zadok°
the priest°

the prophet°
have anointed°°
him king°
in Gihon:°
and they are come up°°

rejoicing,°
so that the city°

This°

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

1:46
And also°
Solomon°
sitteth°°

of the kingdom.° |
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. |

And moreover°
the king's°
servants°

David,°
saying,°°
Elohim°
make°
the name°
of Solomon°
better°°

And the king°
bowed°°
himself°
upon°
the bed.° |
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 also°
thus°
said°°
the king,°
Blessed°°
[be] Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel,°
which°
hath given°°
[one] to sit°°
on°
my throne°
this day,°
mine eyes°

1:49
And all the guests of Adonijah{gr.Adonias} were dismayed, and every man went his way. |
|
1:49
And all°
the guests°°
that°
[were] with Adonijah°
were afraid,°°
and rose up,°°
and went°°°
every man°
his way.° |
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 Adonijah°
feared°°
because°°
of Solomon,°
and arose,°°
and went,°°°
and caught hold°°
on the horns°
of the altar.° |
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 told°°
Solomon,°
saying,°°
Behold,°
Adonijah°
feareth°°°
king°
Solomon:°
for, lo,°
he hath caught hold°°
on the horns°
of the altar,°
saying,°°
Let king°
Solomon°
swear°°
unto me to day°
that he will not°
slay°°°
his servant°
with the sword.° |
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 Solomon°
said,°°
If°
he will shew°
himself a worthy°
man,°
there shall not°
an hair°
of°°
him fall°°
to the earth:°
but if°
wickedness°
shall be found°°
in him, he shall die.°° |
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 king°
Solomon°
sent,°°
and they brought him down°°
from°°
the altar.°
And he came°°

himself°
to king°
Solomon:°
and Solomon°
said°°
unto him, Go°°°
to thine house.° |
