1 Kings 1:5-10
Legacy Standard Bible
5 Now (A)Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” So (B)he prepared for himself a chariot and horsemen and fifty men as runners before him. 6 But his father had never [a]grieved him at any time by asking, “Why have you done so?” And he was also a very handsome man in form, and [b](C)he was born after Absalom. 7 [c]And he had conferred with (D)Joab the son of Zeruiah and with (E)Abiathar the priest; and following (F)Adonijah, they helped him. 8 But (G)Zadok the priest, (H)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, (I)Nathan the prophet, (J)Shimei, Rei, and (K)the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the [d]stone of Zoheleth, which is beside (L)En-rogel; and he invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants. 10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, and (M)Solomon his brother.

9 Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened steers by the [c]stone of Zoheleth, which is beside (L)En-rogel; and he invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants. 10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother (M)Solomon.
