KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H4428 Now king H1732 David H2204 was old [H8804]   H935 and stricken [H8804]   H3117 in years H3680 ; and they covered [H8762]   H899 him with clothes H3179 , but he gat no heat [H8799]  .
  2 H5650 Wherefore his servants H559 said [H8799]   H1245 unto him, Let there be sought [H8762]   H113 for my lord H4428 the king H5291 a young H1330 virgin H5975 : and let her stand [H8804]   H6440 before H4428 the king H5532 , and let her cherish [H8802]   H7901 him, and let her lie [H8804]   H2436 in thy bosom H113 , that my lord H4428 the king H2552 may get heat [H8804]  .
  3 H1245 So they sought [H8762]   H3303 for a fair H5291 damsel H1366 throughout all the coasts H3478 of Israel H4672 , and found [H8799]   H49 Abishag H7767 a Shunammite H935 , and brought [H8686]   H4428 her to the king.
  4 H5291 And the damsel H3966 was very H3303 fair H5532 , and cherished [H8802]   H4428 the king H8334 , and ministered [H8762]   H4428 to him: but the king H3045 knew [H8804]   her not.
  5 H138 Then Adonijah H1121 the son H2294 of Haggith H4984 exalted [H8693]   H559 himself, saying [H8800]   H4427 , I will be king [H8799]   H6213 : and he prepared [H8799]   H7393 him chariots H6571 and horsemen H2572 , and fifty H376 men H7323 to run [H8801]   H6440 before him.
  6 H1 And his father H6087 had not displeased [H8804]   H3117 him at any time H559 in saying [H8800]   H6213 , Why hast thou done so [H8804]   H3966 ? and he also was a very H2896 goodly H8389   H3205 man; and his mother bare [H8804]   H310 him after H53 Absalom.
  7 H1697 And he conferred H3097 with Joab H1121 the son H6870 of Zeruiah H54 , and with Abiathar H3548 the priest H310 : and they following H138 Adonijah H5826 helped [H8799]   him .
  8 H6659 But Zadok H3548 the priest H1141 , and Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada H5416 , and Nathan H5030 the prophet H8096 , and Shimei H7472 , and Rei H1368 , and the mighty men H1732 which belonged to David H138 , were not with Adonijah.
  9 H138 And Adonijah H2076 slew [H8799]   H6629 sheep H1241 and oxen H4806 and fat cattle H68 by the stone H2120 of Zoheleth H681 , which is by H5883 Enrogel H7121 , and called [H8799]   H251 all his brethren H4428 the king's H1121 sons H582 , and all the men H3063 of Judah H4428 the king's H5650 servants:
  10 H5416 But Nathan H5030 the prophet H1141 , and Benaiah H1368 , and the mighty men H8010 , and Solomon H251 his brother H7121 , he called [H8804]   not.
  11 H5416 Wherefore Nathan H559 spake [H8799]   H1339 unto Bathsheba H517 the mother H8010 of Solomon H559 , saying [H8800]   H8085 , Hast thou not heard [H8804]   H138 that Adonijah H1121 the son H2294 of Haggith H4427 doth reign [H8804]   H1732 , and David H113 our lord H3045 knoweth [H8804]   it not?
  12 H3212 Now therefore come [H8798]   H3289 , let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel [H8799]   H6098   H4422 , that thou mayest save [H8761]   H5315 thine own life H5315 , and the life H1121 of thy son H8010 Solomon.
  13 H3212 Go [H8798]   H935 and get thee in [H8798]   H4428 unto king H1732 David H559 , and say [H8804]   H113 unto him, Didst not thou, my lord H4428 , O king H7650 , swear [H8738]   H519 unto thine handmaid H559 , saying [H8800]   H3588 , Assuredly H8010 Solomon H1121 thy son H4427 shall reign [H8799]   H310 after H3427 me, and he shall sit [H8799]   H3678 upon my throne H138 ? why then doth Adonijah H4427 reign [H8804]  ?
  14 H1696 Behold, while thou yet talkest [H8764]   H4428 there with the king H935 , I also will come in [H8799]   H310 after H4390 thee, and confirm [H8765]   H1697 thy words.
  15 H1339 And Bathsheba H935 went in [H8799]   H4428 unto the king H2315 into the chamber H4428 : and the king H3966 was very H2204 old [H8804]   H49 ; and Abishag H7767 the Shunammite H8334 ministered [H8764]   H4428 unto the king.
  16 H1339 And Bathsheba H6915 bowed [H8799]   H7812 , and did obeisance [H8691]   H4428 unto the king H4428 . And the king H559 said [H8799]  , What wouldest thou?
  17 H559 And she said [H8799]   H113 unto him, My lord H7650 , thou swarest [H8738]   H3068 by the LORD H430 thy God H519 unto thine handmaid H8010 , saying, Assuredly Solomon H1121 thy son H4427 shall reign [H8799]   H310 after H3427 me, and he shall sit [H8799]   H3678 upon my throne.
  18 H138 And now, behold, Adonijah H4427 reigneth [H8804]   H113 ; and now, my lord H4428 the king H3045 , thou knowest [H8804]   it not:
  19 H2076 And he hath slain [H8799]   H7794 oxen H4806 and fat cattle H6629 and sheep H7230 in abundance H7121 , and hath called [H8799]   H1121 all the sons H4428 of the king H54 , and Abiathar H3548 the priest H3097 , and Joab H8269 the captain H6635 of the host H8010 : but Solomon H5650 thy servant H7121 hath he not called [H8804]  .
  20 H113 And thou, my lord H4428 , O king H5869 , the eyes H3478 of all Israel H5046 are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell [H8687]   H3427 them who shall sit [H8799]   H3678 on the throne H113 of my lord H4428 the king H310 after him.
  21 H113 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord H4428 the king H7901 shall sleep [H8800]   H1 with his fathers H1121 , that I and my son H8010 Solomon H2400 shall be counted offenders.
  22 H1696 And, lo, while she yet talked [H8764]   H4428 with the king H5416 , Nathan H5030 the prophet H935 also came in [H8804]  .
  23 H5046 And they told [H8686]   H4428 the king H559 , saying [H8800]   H5416 , Behold Nathan H5030 the prophet H935 . And when he was come in [H8799]   H6440 before H4428 the king H7812 , he bowed [H8691]   H4428 himself before the king H639 with his face H776 to the ground.
  24 H5416 And Nathan H559 said [H8799]   H113 , My lord H4428 , O king H559 , hast thou said [H8804]   H138 , Adonijah H4427 shall reign [H8799]   H310 after H3427 me, and he shall sit [H8799]   H3678 upon my throne?
  25 H3381 For he is gone down [H8804]   H3117 this day H2076 , and hath slain [H8799]   H7794 oxen H4806 and fat cattle H6629 and sheep H7230 in abundance H7121 , and hath called [H8799]   H4428 all the king's H1121 sons H8269 , and the captains H6635 of the host H54 , and Abiathar H3548 the priest H398 ; and, behold, they eat [H8802]   H8354 and drink [H8802]   H6440 before H559 him, and say [H8799]   H2421 , God save [H8799]   H4428 king H138 Adonijah.
  26 H5650 But me, even me thy servant H6659 , and Zadok H3548 the priest H1141 , and Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada H5650 , and thy servant H8010 Solomon H7121 , hath he not called [H8804]  .
  27 H1697 Is this thing H1961 done [H8738]   H113 by my lord H4428 the king H3045 , and thou hast not shewed [H8689]   H5650 it unto thy servant H3427 , who should sit [H8799]   H3678 on the throne H113 of my lord H4428 the king H310 after him?
  28 H4428 Then king H1732 David H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]   H7121 , Call [H8798]   H1339 me Bathsheba H935 . And she came [H8799]   H4428 into the king's H6440 presence H5975 , and stood [H8799]   H6440 before H4428 the king.
  29 H4428 And the king H7650 sware [H8735]   H559 , and said [H8799]   H3068 , As the LORD H2416 liveth H6299 , that hath redeemed [H8804]   H5315 my soul H6869 out of all distress,
  30 H7650 Even as I sware [H8738]   H3068 unto thee by the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H559 , saying [H8800]   H8010 , Assuredly Solomon H1121 thy son H4427 shall reign [H8799]   H310 after H3427 me, and he shall sit [H8799]   H3678 upon my throne H6213 in my stead; even so will I certainly do [H8799]   H3117 this day.
  31 H1339 Then Bathsheba H6915 bowed [H8799]   H639 with her face H776 to the earth H7812 , and did reverence [H8691]   H4428 to the king H559 , and said [H8799]   H113 , Let my lord H4428 king H1732 David H2421 live [H8799]   H5769 for ever.
  32 H4428 And king H1732 David H559 said [H8799]   H7121 , Call [H8798]   H6659 me Zadok H3548 the priest H5416 , and Nathan H5030 the prophet H1141 , and Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada H935 . And they came [H8799]   H6440 before H4428 the king.
  33 H4428 The king H559 also said [H8799]   H3947 unto them, Take [H8798]   H5650 with you the servants H113 of your lord H8010 , and cause Solomon H1121 my son H7392 to ride [H8689]   H6506 upon mine own mule H3381 , and bring him down [H8689]   H1521 to Gihon:
  34 H6659 And let Zadok H3548 the priest H5416 and Nathan H5030 the prophet H4886 anoint [H8804]   H4428 him there king H3478 over Israel H8628 : and blow [H8804]   H7782 ye with the trumpet H559 , and say [H8804]   H2421 , God save [H8799]   H4428 king H8010 Solomon.
  35 H5927 Then ye shall come up [H8804]   H310 after H935 him, that he may come [H8804]   H3427 and sit [H8804]   H3678 upon my throne H4427 ; for he shall be king [H8799]   H6680 in my stead: and I have appointed [H8765]   H5057 him to be ruler H3478 over Israel H3063 and over Judah.
  36 H1141 And Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada H6030 answered [H8799]   H4428 the king H559 , and said [H8799]   H543 , Amen H3068 : the LORD H430 God H113 of my lord H4428 the king H559 say [H8799]   so too .
  37 H3068 As the LORD H113 hath been with my lord H4428 the king H8010 , even so be he with Solomon H1431 , and make H3678 his throne H1431 greater [H8762]   H3678 than the throne H113 of my lord H4428 king H1732 David.
  38 H6659 So Zadok H3548 the priest H5416 , and Nathan H5030 the prophet H1141 , and Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada H3774 , and the Cherethites H6432 , and the Pelethites H3381 , went down [H8799]   H8010 , and caused Solomon H7392 to ride [H8686]   H4428 upon king H1732 David's H6506 mule H3212 , and brought [H8686]   H1521 him to Gihon.
  39 H6659 And Zadok H3548 the priest H3947 took [H8799]   H7161 an horn H8081 of oil H168 out of the tabernacle H4886 , and anointed [H8799]   H8010 Solomon H8628 . And they blew [H8799]   H7782 the trumpet H5971 ; and all the people H559 said [H8799]   H2421 , God save [H8799]   H4428 king H8010 Solomon.
  40 H5971 And all the people H5927 came up [H8799]   H310 after H5971 him, and the people H2490 piped [H8764]   H2485 with pipes H8056 , and rejoiced H1419 with great H8057 joy H776 , so that the earth H1234 rent [H8735]   H6963 with the sound of them.
  41 H138 And Adonijah H7121 and all the guests [H8803]   H8085 that were with him heard [H8799]   H3615 it as they had made an end [H8765]   H398 of eating [H8800]   H3097 . And when Joab H8085 heard [H8799]   H6963 the sound H7782 of the trumpet H559 , he said [H8799]   H6963 , Wherefore is this noise H7151 of the city H1993 being in an uproar [H8802]  ?
  42 H1696 And while he yet spake [H8764]   H3129 , behold, Jonathan H1121 the son H54 of Abiathar H3548 the priest H935 came [H8804]   H138 : and Adonijah H559 said [H8799]   H935 unto him, Come in [H8798]   H2428 ; for thou art a valiant H376 man [H8676]   H381   H1319 , and bringest H2896 good H1319 tidings [H8762]  .
  43 H3129 And Jonathan H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]   H138 to Adonijah H61 , Verily H113 our lord H4428 king H1732 David H8010 hath made Solomon H4427 king [H8689]  .
  44 H4428 And the king H7971 hath sent [H8799]   H6659 with him Zadok H3548 the priest H5416 , and Nathan H5030 the prophet H1141 , and Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada H3774 , and the Cherethites H6432 , and the Pelethites H7392 , and they have caused him to ride [H8686]   H4428 upon the king's H6506 mule:
  45 H6659 And Zadok H3548 the priest H5416 and Nathan H5030 the prophet H4886 have anointed [H8799]   H4428 him king H1521 in Gihon H5927 : and they are come up [H8799]   H8056 from thence rejoicing H7151 , so that the city H1949 rang again [H8735]   H6963 . This is the noise H8085 that ye have heard [H8804]  .
  46 H8010 And also Solomon H3427 sitteth [H8804]   H3678 on the throne H4410 of the kingdom.
  47 H4428 And moreover the king's H5650 servants H935 came [H8804]   H1288 to bless [H8763]   H113 our lord H4428 king H1732 David H559 , saying [H8800]   H430 , God H8034 make the name H8010 of Solomon H3190 better [H8686]   H8034 than thy name H1431 , and make H3678 his throne H1431 greater [H8762]   H3678 than thy throne H4428 . And the king H7812 bowed [H8691]   H4904 himself upon the bed.
  48 H559 And also thus said [H8804]   H4428 the king H1288 , Blessed [H8803]   H3068 be the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5414 , which hath given [H8804]   H3427 one to sit [H8802]   H3678 on my throne H3117 this day H5869 , mine eyes H7200 even seeing [H8802]   it .
  49 H7121 And all the guests [H8803]   H138 that were with Adonijah H2729 were afraid [H8799]   H6965 , and rose up [H8799]   H3212 , and went [H8799]   H376 every man H1870 his way.
  50 H138 And Adonijah H3372 feared [H8804]   H6440 because H8010 of Solomon H6965 , and arose [H8799]   H3212 , and went [H8799]   H2388 , and caught hold [H8686]   H7161 on the horns H4196 of the altar.
  51 H5046 And it was told [H8714]   H8010 Solomon H559 , saying [H8800]   H138 , Behold, Adonijah H3372 feareth [H8804]   H4428 king H8010 Solomon H270 : for, lo, he hath caught hold [H8804]   H7161 on the horns H4196 of the altar H559 , saying [H8800]   H4428 , Let king H8010 Solomon H7650 swear [H8735]   H3117 unto me to day H4191 that he will not slay [H8686]   H5650 his servant H2719 with the sword.
  52 H8010 And Solomon H559 said [H8799]   H2428 , If he will shew himself a worthy H1121 man H8185 , there shall not an hair H5307 of him fall [H8799]   H776 to the earth H7451 : but if wickedness H4672 shall be found [H8735]   H4191 in him, he shall die [H8804]  .
  53 H4428 So king H8010 Solomon H7971 sent [H8799]   H3381 , and they brought him down [H8686]   H4196 from the altar H935 . And he came [H8799]   H7812 and bowed [H8691]   H4428 himself to king H8010 Solomon H8010 : and Solomon H559 said [H8799]   H3212 unto him, Go [H8798]   H1004 to thine house.
ERV(i) 1 Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. 2 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 cherish him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat. 3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 And the damsel was very fair; and she cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not. 5 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. 6 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he was also a very goodly man; and he was born after Absalom. 7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him. 8 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. 9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s servants: 10 but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not. 11 Then 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? 12 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. 13 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? 14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words. 15 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. 16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou? 17 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 shah sit upon my throne. 18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and thou, my lord the king, knowest it not: 19 and he hath slain oxen and fatlings 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. 20 And thou, my lord the 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. 21 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. 22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in. 23 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. 24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? 25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings 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. 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. 27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed unto thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him? 28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-sheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king. 29 And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity, 30 verily as I sware unto thee by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; verily so will I do this day: 31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever. 32 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. 33 And the king, said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mute, and bring him down to Gihon: 34 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. 35 Then ye shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah. 36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so [too]. 37 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. 38 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. 39 And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon. 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. 41 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? 42 While he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said, Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and bringest good tidings. 43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king: 44 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: 45 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. 46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom. 47 And moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, Thy 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. 48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it. 49 And all the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way. 50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me this day that he wilt not slay his servant with the sword. 52 And Solomon said, If he shall shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die. 53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and did obeisance to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.
