Young's Literal Translation
Now
king David was
old and
stricken
in
years;
and they covered
him with clothes
, but
he gat
no heat .
And
king David `is'
old ,
entering
into
days,
and they cover
him with garments
, and
he hath
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.
and
his servants say
to
him, `
Let them
seek
for my lord the king a young woman,
a
virgin ,
and she
hath
stood
before the king, and is
to
him a
companion
, and hath
lain
in thy bosom, and
my lord the king hath
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
they seek
a fair young
woman
in
all the border
of Israel, and find
Abishag the
Shunammite, and bring
her in
to the king ,
And the damsel
was
very fair, and cherished
the king, and ministered
to
him :
but
the king knew
her
not.
and the young
woman
`is'
very very
fair, and she
is
to
the king a
companion
, and serveth
him ,
and
the king hath
not known
her
.
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
Adonijah son of Haggith is
lifting
himself up
, saying, `
I do
reign;'
and he prepareth
for
himself
a
chariot
and horsemen, and fifty men running
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 his father hath
not grieved
him `all'
his
days,
saying, `Wherefore
thus
hast thou done? '
and he also `is'
of
a very good
form,
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.
And his
words
are
with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest ,
and they help
after
Adonijah ;
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
Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones
whom
David hath
, have
not been
with Adonijah.
And Adonijah slew
sheep and oxen and fat
cattle
by
the stone of Zoheleth, which
is by Enrogel
, and called
all his brethren the
king's
sons, and all the men of Judah the
king's
servants :
And Adonijah sacrificeth
sheep and oxen and fatlings
near
the stone of Zoheleth, that
`
is '
by En-Rogel
, and calleth
all his brethren ,
sons of
the
king
, and for
all the men of Judah ,
servants of
the
king;
But
Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men
, and Solomon his brother, he called
not.
and
Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones
, and Solomon his brother, he hath
not called
.
Wherefore
Nathan spake
unto Bathsheba
the
mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the
son of Haggith doth
reign
, and David
our lord knoweth
it
not?
And
Nathan speaketh
unto Bath-Sheba,
mother of Solomon, saying, `
Hast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath
reigned
, and our lord David
hath
not known
?
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 .
and
now ,
come, let me counsel
thee
, I pray thee, and
deliver
thy
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
?
go and enter
in unto king David, and thou
hast
said
unto him, Hast
thou not
, my lord, O king, sworn
to
thy
handmaid, saying, Surely
Solomon thy son doth
reign after me, and he doth
sit on
my throne? and
wherefore
hath
Adonijah reigned
?
Behold
, while
thou yet talkest
there with the king, I also
will
come in after thee, and confirm
thy words.
Lo
, thou are
yet speaking
there with the king, and
I come in after thee, and have
completed
thy words. '
And Bathsheba
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
cometh
in unto the king ,
to
the inner
chamber ,
and the king `is'
very aged,
and Abishag the Shunammite is
serving
the king :
And Bathsheba
bowed,
and did
obeisance unto
the king .
And the king said
, What wouldest
thou
?
and Bath-Sheba
boweth
and doth
obeisance to
the king ,
and the king saith
, `
What --
to
thee
? '
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 she saith
to
him, `
My lord, thou hast
sworn
by Jehovah
thy God to
thy
handmaid :
Surely
Solomon thy son doth
reign after me, and he doth
sit on
my throne ;
And now, behold
, Adonijah reigneth;
and now, my lord the
king, thou knowest
it
not :
and now, lo
, Adonijah hath
reigned,
and now, my lord ,
O
king, thou hast
not known;
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 he sacrificeth
ox,
and fatling,
and sheep in abundance, and calleth
for
all the sons of the king, and for
Abiathar the priest, and for
Joab head
of the host --
and
for
Solomon thy servant he hath
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 .
And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel `
are '
on
thee, to
declare
to
them who doth
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
it hath
been
, when my lord the king lieth
with his fathers, that I have
been,
I
and my son Solomon --
`reckoned'
sinners
. '
And ,
lo, while
she yet talked
with the king, Nathan the prophet also
came
in .
And lo, she is
yet speaking
with the king, and
Nathan the prophet hath
come
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 they declare
to
the king, saying, `Lo,
Nathan the prophet ;'
and he cometh
in before the king, and
boweth
himself to
the king ,
on
his face to the earth
.
And Nathan said
, My lord, O king, hast
thou said, Adonijah shall
reign after me, and he shall
sit upon
my throne ?
And Nathan saith
, `
My lord, O king, thou hast
said, Adonijah doth
reign after me, and he doth
sit on
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 .
for he hath
gone down to-
day, and doth
sacrifice
ox,
and fatling,
and sheep ,
in abundance, and calleth
for
all the sons of
the
king
, and for
the heads
of the host, and for
Abiathar the priest, and
lo
, they are
eating
and drinking
before him, and they
say, Let
king Adonijah live!
But
me ,
even
me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the
son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon
, hath
he not called .
`And
for
me --
me ,
thy servant, and for
Zadok the priest, and for
Benaiah ,
son of Jehoiada, and for
Solomon
thy servant, he hath
not called ;
Is
this
thing
done
by
my lord the king, and
thou hast not showed
it
unto
thy servant ,
who should
sit on the throne of my lord the king after him ?
if
from
my lord the king this
thing
hath
been
, then
thou hast not caused
thy servant to
know
who doth
sit on the throne of my lord the king after him .'
Then
king David answered
and said
, Call me Bathsheba.
And she came
into
the king's
presence
, and stood
before the king.
And
king David answereth
and saith
, `
Call for
me for
Bath-Sheba;'
and she cometh
in
before
the king
, and standeth
before the king.
And the king sware,
and said
, As
the
LORD
liveth, that
hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
And the king sweareth
and saith
, `Jehovah
liveth, who
hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity;
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.
surely
as I sware to
thee by Jehovah,
God of Israel, saying, Surely
Solomon thy son doth
reign after me, and he doth
sit on
my throne in my stead; surely
so I do this day. '
Then
Bathsheba
bowed
with
her
face to the earth ,
and did
reverence
to the king, and said
, Let my lord king David live for
ever
.
And
Bath-Sheba
boweth
--
face to the earth --
and doth
obeisance
to the king, and saith
, `
Let my lord ,
king David ,
live to
the
age
. '
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.
And king David saith
, `
Call for
me for
Zadok the priest, and for
Nathan the prophet, and for
Benaiah son of Jehoiada ;'
and they come
in
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
the king saith
to
them, `
Take with you the servants of your lord, and ye
have
caused
Solomon my son to ride on
mine own mule, and caused
him to go
down
unto
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 .
and anointed
him
there
hath
Zadok the priest --
and Nathan the prophet --
for
king over Israel ,
and ye have
blown
with a
trumpet, and said
, Let
king Solomon live;
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
ye have
come up after him, and
he hath
come in
and hath
sat
on
my throne ,
and
he doth
reign
in my stead ,
and him
I have appointed to be leader
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.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answereth
the king, and saith
, `
Amen !
so
doth
Jehovah,
God of my lord the king ,
say ;
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.
as Jehovah
hath been with my lord the king, so is
He with Solomon, and doth
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 goeth
down
, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite
, and the Pelethite
, and they
cause
Solomon to ride on
the
mule of
king
David
, and cause
him to go
unto
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 Zadok the priest taketh
the
horn of oil out of the tent
, and anointeth
Solomon ,
and they blow
with
a
trumpet ,
and all the people say
, `Let
king Solomon live
. '
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 all the people come
up after him, and the people are
piping
with pipes, and rejoicing
--
great joy, and
the earth rendeth
with their
voice
.
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 Adonijah heareth,
and all those
called,
who
`are'
with him ,
and
they have
finished
to
eat,
and Joab heareth
the noise
of the trumpet, and
saith
, `
Wherefore `
is '
the
noise of the city roaring
? '
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.
He is
yet speaking
, and
lo
, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest hath
come
in,
and Adonijah saith
, `
Come in ,
for a man of
valour
thou
`art'
, and thou
bearest
good tidings. '
And Jonathan answered
and said
to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made
Solomon king.
And Jonathan answereth
and saith
to Adonijah, `
Verily our lord king David hath caused
Solomon to
reign,
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 the king sendeth
with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite
, and the Pelethite
, and they cause
him to ride on
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 they
anoint
him
--
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet --
for
king in Gihon ,
and are come up thence rejoicing, and
the city is moved;
it
`is'
the noise that ye have heard.
And also Solomon sitteth
on the throne of the kingdom .
`
And also Solomon hath
sat
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
the servants of
the
king
have
come
into
bless our lord king David, saying, Thy
God doth
make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and his throne greater than thy throne ;
and the king boweth
himself on
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 also thus hath
the king said
, Blessed `is'
Jehovah,
God of Israel, who
hath given to -day
`one'
sitting
on my throne, and
mine eyes seeing. '
And all the
guests
that
were
with
Adonijah were
afraid,
and rose
up
, and
went
every
man
his way .
And they
tremble,
and
rise
--
all those
called
who
`are'
for
Adonijah --
and go
, each
on
his way ;
And Adonijah feared
because of Solomon, and arose
, and went
, and caught
hold on the horns of the altar.
and Adonijah feareth
because of Solomon, and riseth
, and goeth
, and layeth
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 today
that
he will
not slay
his servant with
the sword.
And it is
declared
to
Solomon, saying, `Lo
, Adonijah feareth king Solomon, and
lo, he hath laid
hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to
me as
to-day
--
he doth
not put
to
death
his servant by
the sword. '
And Solomon said
, If he will
show
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
.
And Solomon saith
, `
If he becometh
a virtuous
man --
there doth
not fall of
his
hair
to the earth ,
and
if evil
is
found in him --
then
he hath
died
. '
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.
And
king Solomon sendeth
, and they bring
him down from off
the altar ,
and he cometh
in
and boweth
himself to king Solomon ,
and Solomon saith
to
him, `
Go to thy
house. '
