updv 1Kings:1:1-27
updv@1Kings:1:1 @ Now King David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he got no heat.
updv@1Kings:1:2 @ Therefore his slaves said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.
updv@1Kings:1:3 @ So they sought for a beautiful damsel throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
updv@1Kings:1:4 @ And the damsel was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king didn't have any sex with her.
updv@1Kings:1:5 @ Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
updv@1Kings:1:6 @ And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why have you done so? And he was also a very goodly man; and he was born after Absalom.
updv@1Kings:1:7 @ And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and those following Adonijah helped him.
updv@1Kings:1:8 @ But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
updv@1Kings:1:9 @ And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's slaves:
updv@1Kings:1:10 @ but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not call.
updv@1Kings:1:11 @ Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord does not know it?
updv@1Kings:1:12 @ Now therefore come, let me, I pray you, give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.
updv@1Kings:1:13 @ Go and get in to King David, and say to him, Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your slave, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne? Why then does Adonijah reign?
updv@1Kings:1:14 @ Look, while you yet talk there with the king, I also will come in after you, and confirm your words.
updv@1Kings:1:15 @ And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.
updv@1Kings:1:16 @ And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What do you want?
updv@1Kings:1:17 @ And she said to him, My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your slave, [saying], Assuredly Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.
updv@1Kings:1:18 @ And now, look, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, do not know it:
updv@1Kings:1:19 @ and he has slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon your slave he has not called.
updv@1Kings:1:20 @ And you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
updv@1Kings:1:21 @ Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lord the king will sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted offenders.
updv@1Kings:1:22 @ And, look, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
updv@1Kings:1:23 @ And they told the king, saying, Look, Nathan the prophet. And when he came in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
updv@1Kings:1:24 @ And Nathan said, My lord, O king, have you said, Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne?
updv@1Kings:1:25 @ For he has gone down this day, and has slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, look, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, [Long] live King Adonijah.
updv@1Kings:1:26 @ But me, even me your slave, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your slave Solomon, he has not called.
updv@1Kings:1:27 @ Is this thing done by my lord the king, and you have not shown to your slave who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
