Then King David in answer said ,
Send for Bath-sheba to come to me .
And she came in and took her place before the king .
bbe @
1Kings:1:29 @
And the king took an oath ,
and said ,
By the living Lord ,
who has been my saviour from all my troubles ,
bbe @
1Kings:1:30 @
As I took an oath to you by the Lord ,
the God of Israel ,
saying ,
Certainly Solomon your son will become king after me ,
seated on my seat in my place ;
so will I do this day .
bbe @
1Kings:1:31 @
Then Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour ,
and said ,
May my lord King David go on living for ever .
bbe @
1Kings:1:32 @
And King David said ,
Send for Zadok the priest ,
and Nathan the prophet ,
and Benaiah ,
the son of Jehoiada .
And they came before the king .
bbe @
1Kings:1:33 @
And the king said to them ,
Take with you the servants of your lord ,
and put Solomon my son on my beast ,
yes ,
mine ,
and take him down to Gihon ;
bbe @
1Kings:1:34 @
And there let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him to make him king over Israel ;
and sounding the horn say ,
Long life to King Solomon !
bbe @
1Kings:1:35 @
Then come up after him and he will come in and take his place on the seat of my kingdom ;
for he is to be king in my place ,
and I have given orders that he is to be ruler over Israel and over Judah .
bbe @
1Kings:1:36 @
And Benaiah ,
the son of Jehoiada ,
answering the king ,
said ,
So be it :
and may the Lord ,
the God of my lord the king ,
say so .
bbe @
1Kings:1:37 @
As the Lord has been with my lord the king ,
even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that of my lord King David .
bbe @
1Kings:1:38 @
So Zadok the priest ,
and Nathan the prophet ,
and Benaiah ,
the son of Jehoiada ,
and the Cherethites and the Pelethites ,
went down and put Solomon on King David '
s beast and took him to Gihon .
bbe @
1Kings:1:39 @
And Zadok the priest took the vessel of oil out of the Tent ,
and put the holy oil on Solomon .
And when the horn was sounded ,
all the people said ,
Long life to King Solomon !
bbe @
1Kings:1:40 @
And all the people came up after him ,
piping with pipes ,
and they were glad with great joy ,
so that the earth was shaking with the sound .
bbe @
1Kings:1:41 @
And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him ,
when their meal was ended .
And Joab ,
hearing the sound of the horn ,
said ,
What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up ?
bbe @
1Kings:1:42 @
And while the words were on his lips ,
Jonathan ,
the son of Abiathar the priest ,
came ;
and Adonijah said ,
Come in ;
for you are a man of good faith and the news which you have for us will be good .
bbe @
1Kings:1:43 @
And Jonathan ,
answering ,
said to Adonijah ,
Not so ,
but our lord King David has made Solomon king :
bbe @
1Kings:1:44 @
And he sent with him Zadok the priest ,
and Nathan the prophet ,
and Benaiah ,
the son of Jehoiada ,
and the Cherethites and the Pelethites ;
and they put him on the king '
s beast :
bbe @
1Kings:1:45 @
And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him and made him king in Gihon ;
and they came back from there with joy ,
and the town was all worked up .
This is the noise which has come to your ears .
bbe @
1Kings:1:46 @
And now Solomon is seated on the seat of the kingdom .
bbe @
1Kings:1:47 @
And the king '
s servants came to our lord King David ,
blessing him and saying ,
May God make the name of Solomon better than your name ,
and the seat of his authority greater than your seat ;
and the king was bent low in worship on his bed .
bbe @
1Kings:1:48 @
Then the king said ,
May the God of Israel be praised ,
who has given one of my seed to be king in my place this day and has let my eyes see it .
bbe @
1Kings:1:49 @
And all the guests of Adonijah got up in fear and went away ,
every man to his place .
bbe @
1Kings:1:50 @
And Adonijah himself was full of fear because of Solomon ;
and he got up and went to the altar ,
and put his hands on its horns .
bbe @
1Kings:1:51 @
And they gave Solomon word of it ,
saying ,
See ,
Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon ,
that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar ,
saying ,
Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword .
bbe @
1Kings:1:52 @
And Solomon said ,
If he is seen to be a man of good faith ,
not a hair of him will be touched ;
but if any wrongdoing is seen in him ,
he is to be put to death .
bbe @
1Kings:1:53 @
So King Solomon sent ,
and they took him down from the altar .
And he came and gave honour to King Solomon ;
and Solomon said to him ,
Go to your house .
