- Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn't keep warm.
- Therefore his servants said to him, "Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm."
- So they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
- The young lady was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king didn't know her intimately.
- Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king." Then he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
- His father had not displeased him at any time in saying, "Why have you done so?" and he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.
- He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
- But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
- Adonijah killed sheep and cattle and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants:
- but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he didn't call.
- Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Haven't you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn't know it?
- Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.
- Go in to king David, and tell him, 'Didn't you, my lord, king, swear to your handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? Why then does Adonijah reign?'
- Behold, while you yet talk there with the king, I also will come in after you, and confirm your words."
- Bathsheba went in to the king into the room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.
- Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. The king said, "What would you like?"
- She said to him, "My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your handmaid, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'
- Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don't know it.
- He has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn't called Solomon your servant.
- You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
- Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders."
- Behold, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
- They told the king, saying, "Behold, Nathan the prophet!" When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
- Nathan said, "My lord, king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?'
- For he is gone down this day, and has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, 'Long live king Adonijah!'
- But he hasn't called me, even me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.
- Is this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven't shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
- Then king David answered, "Call to me Bathsheba." She came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
- The king swore, and said, "As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
- most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, 'Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;' most certainly so will I do this day."
- Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance to the king, and said, "Let my lord king David live forever!"
- King David said, "Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." They came before the king.
- The king said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.
- Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, 'Long live king Solomon!'
- Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah."
- Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, "Amen. May Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say so.
- As Yahweh has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David."
- So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride on king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
- Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, "Long live king Solomon!"
- All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with the sound of them.
- Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?"
- While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said, "Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news."
- Jonathan answered Adonijah, "Most certainly our lord king David has made Solomon king.
- The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king's mule.
- Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.
- Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.
- Moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;' and the king bowed himself on the bed.
- Also thus said the king, 'Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.'"
- All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.
- Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
- It was told Solomon, saying, "Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, behold, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.'"
- Solomon said, "If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die."
- So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and did obeisance to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."

- וישבע המלך ויאמר חי־יהוה אשר־פדה את־נפשי מכל־צרה׃
- כי כאשר נשבעתי לך ביהוה אלהי ישראל לאמר כי־שלמה בנך ימלך אחרי והוא ישב על־כסאי תחתי כי כן אעשה היום הזה׃

- ומשח אתו שם צדוק הכהן ונתן הנביא למלך על־ישראל ותקעתם בשופר ואמרתם יחי המלך שלמה׃
- ועליתם אחריו ובא וישב על־כסאי והוא ימלך תחתי ואתו צויתי להיות נגיד על־ישראל ועל־יהודה׃
- ויען בניהו בן־יהוידע את־המלך ויאמר אמן כן יאמר יהוה אלהי אדני המלך׃
- כאשר היה יהוה עם־אדני המלך כן עם־שלמה ויגדל את־כסאו מכסא אדני המלך דוד׃
- וירד צדוק הכהן ונתן הנביא ובניהו בן־יהוידע והכרתי והפלתי וירכבו את־שלמה על־פרדת המלך דוד וילכו אתו על־גחון׃

- ויעלו כל־העם אחריו והעם מחללים בחללים ושמחים שמחה גדולה ותבקע הארץ בקולם׃
- וישמע אדניהו וכל־הקראים אשר אתו והם כלו לאכל וישמע יואב את־קול השופר ויאמר מדוע קול־הקריה הומה׃

- וגם־ככה אמר המלך ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל אשר נתן היום ישב על־כסאי ועיני ראות׃
- ויחרדו ויקמו כל־הקראים אשר לאדניהו וילכו איש לדרכו׃
- ואדניהו ירא מפני שלמה ויקם וילך ויחזק בקרנות המזבח׃
- ויגד לשלמה לאמר הנה אדניהו ירא את־המלך שלמה והנה אחז בקרנות המזבח לאמר ישבע־לי כיום המלך שלמה אם־ימית את־עבדו בחרב׃
- ויאמר שלמה אם יהיה לבן־חיל לא־יפל משערתו ארצה ואם־רעה תמצא־בו ומת׃
- וישלח המלך שלמה וירדהו מעל המזבח ויבא וישתחו למלך שלמה ויאמר־לו שלמה לך לביתך׃ ף

- Et rex David senuerat, habebatque ætatis plurimos dies : cumque operiretur vestibus, non calefiebat.
- Dixerunt ergo ei servi sui : Quæramus domino nostro regi adolescentulam virginem, et stet coram rege, et foveat eum, dormiatque in sinu suo, et calefaciat dominum nostrum regem.
- Quæsierunt igitur adolescentulam speciosam in omnibus finibus Israël, et invenerunt Abisag Sunamitidem, et adduxerunt eam ad regem.
- Erat autem puella pulchra nimis, dormiebatque cum rege, et ministrabat ei : rex vero non cognovit eam.
- Adonias autem filius Haggith elevabatur, dicens : Ego regnabo. Fecitque sibi currus et equites, et quinquaginta viros, qui currerent ante eum.
- Nec corripuit eum pater suus aliquando, dicens : Quare hoc fecisti ? Erat autem et ipse pulcher valde, secundus natu post Absalom.
- Et sermo ei cum Joab filio Sarviæ, et cum Abiathar sacerdote, qui adjuvabant partes Adoniæ.
- Sadoc vero sacerdos, et Banaias filius Jojadæ, et Nathan propheta, et Semei et Rei, et robur exercitus David, non erat cum Adonia.
- Immolatis ergo Adonias arietibus et vitulis, et universis pinguibus juxta lapidem Zoheleth, qui erat vicinus fonti Rogel, vocavit universos fratres suos filios regis, et omnes viros Juda servos regis.
- Nathan autem prophetam, et Banaiam, et robustos quosque, et Salomonem fratrem suum non vocavit.
- Dixit itaque Nathan ad Bethsabee matrem Salomonis : Num audisti quod regnaverit Adonias filius Haggith, et dominus noster David hoc ignorat ?
- Nunc ergo veni, accipe consilium a me, et salva animam tuam, filiique tui Salomonis.
- Vade, et ingredere ad regem David, et dic ei : Nonne tu, domine mi rex, jurasti mihi ancillæ tuæ, dicens : Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit in solio meo ? Quare ergo regnat Adonias ?
- Et adhuc ibi te loquente cum rege, ego veniam post te, et complebo sermones tuos.
- Ingressa est itaque Bethsabee ad regem in cubiculum : rex autem senuerat nimis, et Abisag Sunamitis ministrabat ei.
- Inclinavit se Bethsabee, et adoravit regem. Ad quam rex : Quid tibi, inquit, vis ?
- Quæ respondens, ait : Domine mi, tu jurasti per Dominum Deum tuum ancillæ tuæ : Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit in solio meo.
- Et ecce nunc Adonias regnat, te, domine mi rex, ignorante.
- Mactavit boves, et pinguia quæque, et arietes plurimos, et vocavit omnes filios regis, Abiathar quoque sacerdotem, et Joab principem militiæ : Salomonem autem servum tuum non vocavit.
- Verumtamen, domine mi rex, in te oculi respiciunt totius Israël, ut indices eis, quis sedere debeat in solio tuo, domine mi rex, post te.
- Eritque, cum dormierit dominus meus rex cum patribus suis, erimus ego et filius meus Salomon peccatores.
- Adhuc illa loquente cum rege, Nathan propheta venit.
- Et nuntiaverunt regi, dicentes : Adest Nathan propheta. Cumque introisset in conspectu regis, et adorasset eum pronus in terram,
- dixit Nathan : Domine mi rex, tu dixisti : Adonias regnet post me, et ipse sedeat super thronum meum ?
- Quia descendit hodie, et immolavit boves, et pinguia, et arietes plurimos, et vocavit universos filios regis et principes exercitus, Abiathar quoque sacerdotem, illisque vescentibus, et bibentibus coram eo, et dicentibus : Vivat rex Adonias :
- me servum tuum, et Sadoc sacerdotem, et Banaiam filium Jojadæ, et Salomonem famulum tuum non vocavit.
- Numquid a domino meo rege exivit hoc verbum, et mihi non indicasti servo tuo quis sessurus esset super thronum domini mei regis post eum ?
- Et respondit rex David, dicens : Vocate ad me Bethsabee. Quæ cum fuisset ingressa coram rege, et stetisset ante eum,
- juravit rex, et ait : Vivit Dominus, qui eruit animam meam de omni angustia,
- quia sicut juravi tibi per Dominum Deum Israël, dicens : Salomon filius tuus regnabit post me, et ipse sedebit super solium meum pro me : sic faciam hodie.
- Summissoque Bethsabee in terram vultu, adoravit regem, dicens : Vivat dominus meus David in æternum.
- Dixit quoque rex David : Vocate mihi Sadoc sacerdotem, et Nathan prophetam, et Banaiam filium Jojadæ. Qui cum ingressi fuissent coram rege,
- dixit ad eos : Tollite vobiscum servos domini vestri, et imponite Salomonem filium meum super mulam meam : et ducite eum in Gihon.
- Et ungat eum ibi Sadoc sacerdos, et Nathan propheta, in regem super Israël : et canetis buccina, atque dicetis : Vivat rex Salomon.
- Et ascendetis post eum, et veniet, et sedebit super solium meum, et ipse regnabit pro me : illique præcipiam ut sit dux super Israël, et super Judam.
- Et respondit Banaias filius Jojadæ regi, dicens : Amen : sic loquatur Dominus Deus domini mei regis.
- Quomodo fuit Dominus cum domino meo rege, sic sit cum Salomone, et sublimius faciat solium ejus a solio domini mei regis David.
- Descendit ergo Sadoc sacerdos, et Nathan propheta, et Banaias filius Jojadæ, et Cerethi, et Phelethi : et imposuerunt Salomonem super mulam regis David, et adduxerunt eum in Gihon.
- Sumpsitque Sadoc sacerdos cornu olei de tabernaculo, et unxit Salomonem : et cecinerunt buccina, et dixit omnis populus : Vivat rex Salomon.
- Et ascendit universa multitudo post eum, et populus canentium tibiis, et lætantium gaudio magno, et insonuit terra a clamore eorum.
- Audivit autem Adonias, et omnes qui invitati fuerant ab eo, jamque convivium finitum erat : sed et Joab, audita voce tubæ, ait : Quid sibi vult clamor civitatis tumultuantis ?
- Adhuc illo loquente, Jonathas filius Abiathar sacerdotis venit : cui dixit Adonias : Ingredere, quia vir fortis es, et bona nuntians.
- Responditque Jonathas Adoniæ : Nequaquam : dominus enim noster rex David regem constituit Salomonem :
- misitque cum eo Sadoc sacerdotem, et Nathan prophetam, et Banaiam filium Jojadæ, et Cerethi, et Phelethi, et imposuerunt eum super mulam regis.
- Unxeruntque eum Sadoc sacerdos, et Nathan propheta regem in Gihon : et ascenderunt inde lætantes, et insonuit civitas : hæc est vox, quam audistis.
- Sed et Salomon sedet super solium regni.
- Et ingressi servi regis benedixerunt domino nostro regi David, dicentes : Amplificet Deus nomen Salomonis super nomen tuum, et magnificet thronus ejus super thronum tuum. Et adoravit rex in lectulo suo :
- et locutus est : Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui dedit hodie sedentem in solio meo, videntibus oculis meis.
- Territi sunt ergo, et surrexerunt omnes qui invitati fuerant ab Adonia, et ivit unusquisque in viam suam.
- Adonias autem timens Salomonem, surrexit, et abiit, tenuitque cornu altaris.
- Et nuntiaverunt Salomoni, dicentes : Ecce Adonias timens regem Salomonem, tenuit cornu altaris, dicens : Juret mihi rex Salomon hodie, quod non interficiat servum suum gladio.
- Dixitque Salomon : Si fuerit vir bonus, non cadet ne unus quidem capillus ejus in terram : sin autem malum inventum fuerit in eo, morietur.
- Misit ergo rex Salomon, et eduxit eum ab altari : et ingressus adoravit regem Salomonem : dixitque ei Salomon : Vade in domum tuam.

- Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
- Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.
- So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
- And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
- Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
- And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom.
- And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
- But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
- And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants:
- But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
- Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?
- Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
- Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?
- Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
- And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
- And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
- And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
- And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:
- And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.
- And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
- Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
- And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
- And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
- And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
- For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
- But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.
- Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
- Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-sheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
- And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
- Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
- Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
- And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
- The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
- And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.
- 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.
- And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.
- As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.
- So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
- And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.
- 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.
- And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?
- And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.
- And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.
- And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule:
- And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.
- And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
- And moreover the king's servants came 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 bowed himself upon the bed.
- And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.
- And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
- And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
- 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.
- 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.
- So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.
