@ Now
king
David
was
old
and
stricken
in
years
; and they
covered
him with
clothes
, but he gat no
heat
.
strkjv@1Kings:1:2
@ 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
.
strkjv@1Kings:1:3
@ So they
sought
for a
fair
damsel
throughout all the
coasts
of
Israel
, and
found
Abishag
a
Shunammite
, and
brought
her to the
king
.
strkjv@1Kings:1:4
@ And the
damsel
was
very
fair
, and
cherished
the
king
, and
ministered
to him: but the
king
knew
her not.
strkjv@1Kings:1:5
@ 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.
strkjv@1Kings:1:6
@ 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
.
strkjv@1Kings:1:7
@ And he
conferred
with
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
, and with
Abiathar
the
priest
: and they
following
Adonijah
helped
him.

, and

Adonijah

strkjv@1Kings:1:9
@ And
Adonijah
slew
sheep

oxen

cattle
by the
stone
of
Zoheleth
, which is
by

Eyn, and
called
all his

@ But
Nathan

called

strkjv@1Kings:1:11
@ Wherefore
Nathan
spake
unto

Bath- the

saying

Adonijah
the
son
of
Haggith
doth
reign

David
our

knoweth
it not?

@ Now therefore
come

@
Go

swear
unto thine

saying
,
Assuredly
Solomon
thy

shall
reign

reign

strkjv@1Kings:1:14
