大衛的晚年
1 大衛王老了，年事已高，他們雖用許多衣服蓋著他，他仍不感到暖和。 2 所以他的臣僕對他說：“不如為我主我王尋找一個年輕的處女，使她侍候在王面前，照顧王，睡在王的懷中，好使我主我王得到暖和。” 3 於是他們在以色列全境尋找一個美貌的少女，結果找著了一個書念的女子亞比煞，就把她帶到王面前。 4 這少女極其美麗。她照顧王，服事他，可是王沒有與她發生過關係。
亞多尼雅的陰謀
5 那時哈及的兒子亞多尼雅妄自尊大，說：“我必作王。”就為自己預備了戰車、騎兵，又有五十人在他前面奔走。 6 他的父親從來沒有責難他說：“你為甚麼這樣作呢？”他的容貌也很英俊，他是在押沙龍之後生的。 7 亞多尼雅與洗魯雅的兒子約押和亞比亞他祭司商議以後，二人都答應支持他。 8 但撒督祭司、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，拿單先知、示每、利以和大衛的勇士都不擁護亞多尼雅。 9 有一天，亞多尼雅在隱．羅結旁邊，瑣希列的磐石那裡，宰殺牛羊和肥畜，邀請他所有的兄弟，就是王的眾子和所有作王的臣僕的猶大人，來參加筵席。 10 只是沒有邀請拿單先知、比拿雅、眾勇士和他的兄弟所羅門。
拿單向拔示巴獻策
11 拿單對所羅門的母親拔示巴說：“哈及的兒子亞多尼雅作了王，而我們的主大衛還不知道，你難道沒有聽見嗎？ 12 現在你來，我可以給你出一個主意，好救你的性命和你兒子所羅門的性命。 13 你進去見大衛王，對他說：‘我主我王，你不是曾經向婢女起誓，說：“你的兒子所羅門必接續我作王，他要坐在我的王位上”嗎？現在為甚麼亞多尼雅作了王呢？’ 14 你還在那裡與王說話的時候，我會隨後進來，證實你的話。”
拔示巴見王陳訴
15 於是拔示巴進到內室去見王。王很老了，書念的女子亞比煞正在服事王。 16 拔示巴向王俯伏叩拜，王問：“你要甚麼？” 17 她回答說：“我主啊，你曾經指著耶和華你的 神向婢女起誓，說：‘你的兒子所羅門必接續我作王，他要坐在我的王位上’， 18 可是，現在亞多尼雅作了王了；而我主我王，你還不知道。 19 他宰殺了許多公牛、肥畜和羊，邀請了王所有的兒子、亞比亞他祭司和軍隊的元帥約押，卻沒有邀請王的僕人所羅門。 20 我主我王啊，現在以色列眾人的眼睛都看著你，等你告訴他們誰要坐在我主我王的王位上，接續你作王。 21 否則，到我主我王與列祖同睡之後，我和我的兒子所羅門就要被算為罪人了。”
22 拔示巴還在與王說話的時候，拿單先知就進來了。 23 有人告訴王說：“拿單先知來了。”拿單來到王面前，向王叩拜。 24 拿單說：“我主我王啊，你曾說過：‘亞多尼雅要接續我作王，坐在我的王位上’嗎？ 25 今天他下去宰殺了許多公牛、肥畜和羊，又請了王所有的兒子、眾軍長和亞比亞他祭司。他們正在亞多尼雅面前又吃又喝，說：‘亞多尼雅王萬歲。’ 26 只有我，就是你的僕人，撒督祭司、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅和你的僕人所羅門，他都沒有邀請。 27 我主我王是不是作了這事，而你沒有告訴你的眾臣僕，誰要接續我主我王，坐你的王位呢？”
王起誓應許立所羅門為王
28 大衛回答說：“召拔示巴到我這裡來。”於是拔示巴來到王面前，站在那裡。 29 王就起誓說：“我指著曾經救我的性命脫離一切患難的永活的耶和華起誓， 30 我從前怎樣指著耶和華以色列的 神向你起誓，說：‘你的兒子所羅門必接續我作王，要坐在我的王位上’，我今天也必照樣行。” 31 於是拔示巴面伏在地，向王叩拜，說：“願我主大衛王萬歲！”
所羅門在基訓受膏為王
32 大衛王又說：“召撒督祭司、拿單先知和耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅到我這裡來。”他們都來到王面前。 33 王就對他們說：“你們要帶著你們主人的僕人，使我的兒子所羅門騎上我的騾子，送他下到基訓去。 34 在那裡撒督祭司和拿單先知要膏立他作以色列的王。你們要吹角，說：‘所羅門王萬歲！’ 35 然後你們要跟隨他上來；他要來坐在我的王位上；他要接續我作王。我已經立了他作以色列和猶大的統治者。” 36 耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅回答王說：“阿們！願耶和華我主我王的 神也是這樣說。 37 耶和華怎樣與我主我王同在，願他也照樣與所羅門同在，使他的王位，比我主大衛王的王位更偉大。”
38 於是撒督祭司、拿單先知和耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，以及基利提人和比利提人都下去，使所羅門騎上大衛王的騾子，送他到基訓去。 39 撒督祭司從帳幕裡拿出那盛膏油的角，膏立所羅門；然後有人吹角，眾民就說：“所羅門王萬歲！” 40 眾民都跟隨他上去，吹著笛子，十分歡樂，以致大地也因他們的聲音震裂。
41 亞多尼雅和所有與他在一起的賓客剛剛吃完了飯，聽到這聲音；約押聽到角聲，就說：“城裡為甚麼有這樣喧嚷的聲音呢？” 42 他還在說話的時候，亞比亞他祭司的兒子約拿單來了。亞多尼雅對他說：“進來吧！你是個忠義的人，一定帶來了好消息。” 43 約拿單對亞多尼雅說：“不好了，我們的主大衛王已經立了所羅門為王了。 44 王差派撒督祭司、拿單先知和耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，以及基利提人和比利提人，與所羅門同去。他們使所羅門騎上王的騾子。 45 撒督祭司和拿單先知已經在基訓膏立他作王。眾人都從那裡歡歡喜喜上路；你們聽見的聲音，就是城裡的喧鬧聲。 46 不但所羅門已經坐在這王國的王位上， 47 而且王的臣僕也來為我們的主大衛王祝福說：‘願你的 神使所羅門的名聲比你的更尊榮，使他的王位比你的更偉大。’王就在床上屈身下拜。 48 王又這樣說：‘耶和華以色列的 神是應當稱頌的，因為他今天賜了一人坐在我的王位上，也使我親眼看見這事。’”
亞多尼雅害怕求饒
49 亞多尼雅所有的賓客都懼怕，大家起身，各自逃走了。 50 亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門，就起來，去抓緊祭壇的角。 51 有人告訴所羅門說：“亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門王。他現在抓緊祭壇的角說：‘願所羅門王今天向我起誓，決不會用刀殺死他的僕人。’” 52 所羅門說：“他若是作一個忠義的人，他的頭髮連一根也不會掉在地上；但在他身上若是發現有甚麼惡行，他必定死。” 53 於是所羅門派人去把亞多尼雅從祭壇上帶下來。他來向所羅門叩拜；所羅門對他說：“回你的家去吧！”

王位之爭
1 大衛王年紀老邁，雖然蓋了幾層被子，仍然覺得冷。 2 他的臣僕建議：「不如選一位少女進宮伺候、照顧我主我王，讓她睡在王懷中給王取暖。」
3 於是，他們在以色列全國尋找美貌女子，找到了一位名叫雅比莎的書念少女，把她帶到王那裡。 4 這女子長得花容月貌，她照顧、伺候王，但王沒有與她同房。
5 那時，哈姬的兒子亞多尼雅妄自尊大，說：「我必做王。」他為自己製備了車輛和騎兵，派五十人在前面開路。 6 他父親從不干涉、責問他：「你這是做什麼？」他是押沙龍的弟弟，長得英俊非凡。
7 亞多尼雅與洗魯雅的兒子約押及祭司亞比亞他商議，二人都答應支持他。 8 不過，撒督祭司、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅、拿單先知、示每、利以和大衛的勇士卻沒有跟隨他。
9 一天，亞多尼雅在隱·羅結附近的瑣希列磐石那裡宰了牛羊和肥牛犢獻祭，並邀請了眾王子和猶大的群臣。 10 可是他沒有邀請拿單先知、比拿雅、大衛的勇士和他的兄弟所羅門。
11 拿單對所羅門的母親拔示芭說：「你沒有聽說嗎？哈姬的兒子亞多尼雅做王了，我們的主大衛還不知道。 12 事到如今，我有一個主意，可以保住你和你兒子所羅門的性命。 13 你去見大衛王，對他說，『我主我王啊，你不是起誓說讓臣妾的兒子所羅門繼承王位嗎？怎麼現在亞多尼雅做了王呢？』 14 你跟王說話的時候，我會進去證實你的話。」
15 拔示芭就進內室去見年邁的王，書念的少女雅比莎正在伺候他。 16 拔示芭向王屈身下拜。王問道：「你有什麼事嗎？」 17 拔示芭回答說：「我主啊，你曾經憑你的上帝耶和華起誓說讓臣妾的兒子所羅門繼承你的王位，坐你的寶座。 18 但現在亞多尼雅已經稱王了，我主我王還不知道。 19 他宰了許多牛羊和肥牛犢獻祭，邀請眾王子、亞比亞他祭司和約押元帥，卻沒有邀請你的僕人所羅門。 20 我主我王啊！以色列舉國拭目以待，等著王來指定誰繼承王位。 21 不然，到我主我王與祖先同眠之後，我和我兒所羅門必被定為罪人。」
22 她與王正說話間，拿單先知進宮來了。 23 有人奏告王，說：「拿單先知來了。」拿單來到王面前，俯伏在地， 24 說：「我主我王啊，你已經宣佈讓亞多尼雅繼承你的王位，坐你的寶座嗎？ 25 他今天宰了許多牛羊和肥犢獻祭，宴請眾王子、將領和亞比亞他祭司，他們正在他那裡一邊吃喝一邊說，『亞多尼雅王萬歲！』 26 但他沒有邀請臣僕我、撒督祭司、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅和你的僕人所羅門。 27 這是我主我王的旨意嗎？王還沒有對臣僕們說過誰繼承王位。」
28 於是，大衛王召見拔示芭。拔示芭立刻晉見，侍立在王面前。 29 王起誓說：「我憑救我脫離一切苦難的永活的耶和華起誓， 30 我今天必實現我憑以色列的上帝耶和華向你起的誓。你的兒子所羅門必繼承王位，坐在我的寶座上。」
31 拔示芭就向王俯伏下拜說：「我主我王萬歲！」
32 大衛王又召見撒督祭司、拿單先知和耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅。他們都來到王面前。 33 王囑咐道：「你們要率領我的隨從，讓我兒所羅門騎上我的騾子，護送他下到基訓。 34 撒督祭司和拿單先知要在那裡膏立他為以色列王。你們要吹響號角，高喊，『所羅門王萬歲！』 35 然後，你們要隨他回來，他要登基，繼承我的王位。我已立他做以色列和猶大的君王了。」
36 耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅說：「遵命，願我主我王的上帝耶和華成全這事。 37 耶和華怎樣與我主我王同在，願祂也照樣與所羅門同在，使他的國比我主大衛王的國更強大。」 38 於是，撒督祭司、拿單先知、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，以及基利提人和比利提人請所羅門騎上大衛王的騾子，護送他前往基訓。 39 撒督祭司從聖幕裡拿來盛膏油的角，膏立所羅門為王。他們吹響號角，民眾高聲歡呼：「所羅門王萬歲！」 40 眾人浩浩蕩蕩地隨著所羅門回京，一路上吹笛歡呼，聲音震動大地。 41 亞多尼雅和他的眾賓客剛剛飲宴完畢，聽見了這聲音。約押聽見號角聲，便問：「城裡為什麼如此喧鬧？」 42 就在這時候，亞比亞他祭司的兒子約拿單來了，亞多尼雅說：「進來！你是個忠勇的人，一定帶來了好消息。」
43 約拿單說：「我們的主大衛王已經立所羅門為王了。 44 王派撒督祭司、拿單先知、耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，以及基利提人和比利提人護送所羅門騎上王的騾子。 45 撒督祭司和拿單先知在基訓膏立他為王，他們一路上歡呼著回來了，全城轟動。你們聽到的就是他們的聲音。 46 所羅門已經登基掌權， 47 王的臣僕也來向我們的主大衛王道喜說，『願王的上帝使所羅門比王更聲名顯赫，使他的國比王的國更強大。』王在床上俯伏敬拜， 48 說，『以色列的上帝耶和華當受稱頌，因為祂讓我親眼看見我的繼承人今天登基。』」
49 亞多尼雅的眾賓客聽後，嚇得四散而去。 50 亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門，就去抓住祭壇的角。 51 有人告訴所羅門：「亞多尼雅懼怕王，現在正抓住祭壇的角，要王今天起誓不要殺他。」
52 所羅門說：「如果他是個忠義的人，必毫髮無損；如果他作惡，必死無疑。」 53 於是，所羅門王便派人去把亞多尼雅從祭壇上帶下來。亞多尼雅前來向所羅門王俯伏下拜，所羅門對他說：「你回家去吧。」
1 Kings 1

Adonijah Sets Himself Up as King
1 When King David was very old, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him. 2 So his attendants said to him, “Let us look for a young virgin to serve the king and take care of him. She can lie beside him so that our lord the king may keep warm.”
3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag,(A) a Shunammite,(B) and brought her to the king. 4 The woman was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him, but the king had no sexual relations with her.
5 Now Adonijah,(C) whose mother was Haggith, put himself forward and said, “I will be king.” So he got chariots(D) and horses[a] ready, with fifty men to run ahead of him. 6 (His father had never rebuked(E) him by asking, “Why do you behave as you do?” He was also very handsome and was born next after Absalom.)
7 Adonijah conferred with Joab(F) son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar(G) the priest, and they gave him their support. 8 But Zadok(H) the priest, Benaiah(I) son of Jehoiada, Nathan(J) the prophet, Shimei(K) and Rei and David’s special guard(L) did not join Adonijah.
9 Adonijah then sacrificed sheep, cattle and fattened calves at the Stone of Zoheleth near En Rogel.(M) He invited all his brothers, the king’s sons,(N) and all the royal officials of Judah, 10 but he did not invite(O) Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the special guard or his brother Solomon.(P)
11 Then Nathan asked Bathsheba,(Q) Solomon’s mother, “Have you not heard that Adonijah,(R) the son of Haggith, has become king, and our lord David knows nothing about it? 12 Now then, let me advise(S) you how you can save your own life and the life of your son Solomon. 13 Go in to King David and say to him, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear(T) 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?’ 14 While you are still there talking to the king, I will come in and add my word to what you have said.”
15 So Bathsheba went to see the aged king in his room, where Abishag(U) the Shunammite was attending him. 16 Bathsheba bowed down, prostrating herself before the king.
“What is it you want?” the king asked.
17 She said to him, “My lord, you yourself swore(V) to me your servant by the Lord your God: ‘Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne.’ 18 But now Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, do not know about it. 19 He has sacrificed(W) 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. 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. 21 Otherwise, as soon as my lord the king is laid to rest(X) with his ancestors, I and my son Solomon will be treated as criminals.”
22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived. 23 And the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” So he went before the king and bowed with his face to the ground.
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? 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!’ 26 But me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he did not invite.(Y) 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?”
David Makes Solomon King(Z)
28 Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
29 The king then took an oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble,(AA) 30 I will surely carry out this very day what I swore(AB) 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.”
31 Then Bathsheba bowed down with her face to the ground, prostrating herself before the king, and said, “May my lord King David live forever!”
32 King David said, “Call in Zadok(AC) the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” When they came before the king, 33 he said to them: “Take your lord’s servants with you and have Solomon my son mount my own mule(AD) and take him down to Gihon.(AE) 34 There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint(AF) him king over Israel. Blow the trumpet(AG) and shout, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ 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.”
36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, “Amen! May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, so declare it. 37 As the Lord was with my lord the king, so may he be with(AH) Solomon to make his throne even greater(AI) than the throne of my lord King David!”
38 So Zadok(AJ) the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites(AK) and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon mount King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.(AL) 39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil(AM) from the sacred tent(AN) and anointed Solomon. Then they sounded the trumpet(AO) and all the people shouted,(AP) “Long live King Solomon!” 40 And all the people went up after him, playing pipes(AQ) and rejoicing greatly, so that the ground shook with the sound.
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?”(AR)
42 Even as he was speaking, Jonathan(AS) son of Abiathar the priest arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in. A worthy man like you must be bringing good news.”(AT)
43 “Not at all!” Jonathan answered. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king. 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, 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(AU) with it. That’s the noise you hear. 46 Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat(AV) on the royal throne. 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(AW) than yours!’ And the king bowed in worship on his bed 48 and said, ‘Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who has allowed my eyes to see a successor(AX) on my throne today.’”
49 At this, all Adonijah’s guests rose in alarm and dispersed. 50 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, went and took hold of the horns(AY) of the altar. 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.’”
52 Solomon replied, “If he shows himself to be worthy, not a hair(AZ) of his head will fall to the ground; but if evil is found in him, he will die.” 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.”

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 let her 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 a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
4 And the damsel was very fair, and 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 also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him 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 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:
10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
11 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?
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 Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
16 And Bathsheba 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 shall sit upon my throne.
18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:
19 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.
20 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.
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 also 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 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.
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 it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
29 And the king sware, and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
30 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.
31 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.
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 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:
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, 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.
36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the Lord 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 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.
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 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.
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, 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 God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.
49 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and 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 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.
52 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.
53 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.
