- "And Absalomª sentª° for¹ Ahithophelª the Gilonite,ª David'sª counsellor,ª° from his city,ª [even] from Giloh,ª¹ while he offeredª°¹ sacrifices.ª And the conspiracyª was¹ strong;ª for the peopleª increasedª continuallyª° with¹ Absalom.ª ... And there cameª° a messengerª° to¹ David,ª saying,ª° The heartsª of the menª of Israelª are¹ afterª Absalom.ª" {2Sm 15:12-13} + "Then Adonijahª the sonª of Haggithª exalted²° himself,¹ saying,ª° I¹ will be king:ª° and he preparedª° him chariotsª and horsemen,ª and fiftyª menª to runª° beforeª him. ... And he conferredª with¹ Joabª the sonª of Zeruiah,ª and with¹ Abiatharª the priest:ª and they followingª Adonijahª helpedª° [him]." {1Kg 1:5-7} + "And all¹ the peopleª came upª° afterª him, and the peopleª pipedª° with pipes,ª and rejoicedª with greatª joy,ª so that the earthª rentª° with the soundª of them." {1Kg 1:40} + "And the young menª that¹ were grown upª° with¹ him spakeª° unto¹ him, saying,ª° Thus¹ shalt thou speakª° unto this¹ peopleª that¹ spakeª° unto¹ thee, saying,ª° Thy fatherª made²°¹ our yokeª heavy,ª° but make thou¹ [it] lighterª° unto¹¹ us; thus¹ shalt thou sayª° unto¹ them, My littleª [finger] shall be thickerª° than my father'sª loins.ª¹ ... So²° when all¹ Israelª sawª° that¹ the kingª hearkenedª° not¹ unto¹ them, the peopleª answeredª¹¹ the king,ª saying,ª° What¹ portionª have we in David?ª neither¹ [have we] inheritanceª in the sonª of Jesse:ª to your tents,ª O Israel:ª now¹ seeª° to thine own house,ª David.ª So Israelª departed²°¹ unto their tents.ª" {1Kg 12:10-16}
