1 : 1 When King David was old and well advanced in years, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him.
|
|
1 : 2 So his servants said to him, "Let us look for a young virgin to attend the king and take care of him. She can lie beside him so that our lord the king may keep warm."
|
|
1 : 3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl and found Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
|
|
1 : 4 The girl was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him, but the king had no intimate relations with her.
|
|
1 : 5 Now Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith, put himself forward and said, "I will be king." So he got chariots and horses ready, with fifty men to run ahead of him.
|
|
1 : 6 (His father had never interfered with him by asking, "Why do you behave as you do?" He was also very handsome and was born next after Absalom.)
|
|
1 : 7 Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they gave him their support.
|
|
1 : 8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei and David`s special guard did not join Adonijah.
|
|
1 : 9 Adonijah then sacrificed sheep, cattle and fattened calves at the Stone of Zoheleth near En Rogel. He invited all his brothers, the king`s sons, and all the men of Judah who were royal officials,
|
|
1 : 10 but he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the special guard or his brother Solomon.
|
|
1 : 11 Then Nathan asked Bathsheba, Solomon`s mother, "Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has become king without our lord David`s knowing it?
|
|
1 : 12 Now then, let me advise you how you can save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
|
|
1 : 13 Go in to King David and say to him, `My lord the king, did you not swear to me your servant: "Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?`
|
|
1 : 14 While you are still there talking to the king, I will come in and confirm what you have said."
|
|
1 : 15 So Bathsheba went to see the aged king in his room, where Abishag the Shunammite was attending him.
|
|
1 : 16 Bathsheba bowed low and knelt before the king. "What is it you want?" the king asked.
|
|
1 : 17 She said to him, "My lord, you yourself swore to me your servant by the LORD your God: `Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne.`
|
|
1 : 18 But now Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, do not know about it.
|
|
1 : 19 He has sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the king`s sons, Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant.
|
|
1 : 20 My lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, to learn from you who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
|
|
1 : 21 Otherwise, as soon as my lord the king is laid to rest with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be treated as criminals."
|
|
1 : 22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
|
|
1 : 23 And they told the king, "Nathan the prophet is here." So he went before the king and bowed with his face to the ground.
|
|
1 : 24 Nathan said, "Have you, my lord the king, declared that Adonijah shall be king after you, and that he will sit on your throne?
|
|
1 : 25 Today he has gone down and sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep. He has invited all the king`s sons, the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him and saying, `Long live King Adonijah!`
|
|
1 : 26 But me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he did not invite.
|
|
1 : 27 Is this something my lord the king has done without letting his servants know who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
|
|
1 : 28 Then King David said, "Call in Bathsheba." So she came into the king`s presence and stood before him.
|
|
1 : 29 The king then took an oath: "As surely as the LORD lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble,
|
|
1 : 30 I will surely carry out today what I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel: Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place."
|
|
1 : 31 Then Bathsheba bowed low with her face to the ground and, kneeling before the king, said, "May my lord King David live forever!"
|
|
1 : 32 King David said, "Call in Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah son of Jehoiada." When they came before the king,
|
|
1 : 33 he said to them: "Take your lord`s servants with you and set Solomon my son on my own mule and take him down to Gihon.
|
|
1 : 34 There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel. Blow the trumpet and shout, `Long live King Solomon!`
|
|
1 : 35 Then you are to go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah."
|
|
1 : 36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, "Amen! May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it.
|
|
1 : 37 As the LORD was with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon to make his throne even greater than the throne of my lord King David!"
|
|
1 : 38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites went down and put Solomon on King David`s mule and escorted him to Gihon.
|
|
1 : 39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the sacred tent and anointed Solomon. Then they sounded the trumpet and all the people shouted, "Long live King Solomon!"
|
|
1 : 40 And all the people went up after him, playing flutes and rejoicing greatly, so that the ground shook with the sound.
|
|
1 : 41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they were finishing their feast. On hearing the sound of the trumpet, Joab asked, "What`s the meaning of all the noise in the city?"
|
|
1 : 42 Even as he was speaking, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest arrived. Adonijah said, "Come in. A worthy man like you must be bringing good news."
|
|
1 : 43 Not at all! Jonathan answered. "Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
|
|
1 : 44 The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, and they have put him on the king`s mule,
|
|
1 : 45 and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon. From there they have gone up cheering, and the city resounds with it. That`s the noise you hear.
|
|
1 : 46 Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
|
|
1 : 47 Also, the royal officials have come to congratulate our lord King David, saying, `May your God make Solomon`s name more famous than yours and his throne greater than yours!` And the king bowed in worship on his bed
|
|
1 : 48 and said, `Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who has allowed my eyes to see a successor on my throne today.` "
|
|
1 : 49 At this, all Adonijah`s guests rose in alarm and dispersed.
|
|
1 : 50 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, went and took hold of the horns of the altar.
|
|
1 : 51 Then Solomon was told, "Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon and is clinging to the horns of the altar. He says, `Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.` "
|
|
1 : 52 Solomon replied, "If he shows himself to be a worthy man, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground; but if evil is found in him, he will die."
|
|
1 : 53 Then King Solomon sent men, and they brought him down from the altar. And Adonijah came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said, "Go to your home."
