I will be king :
and he prepared him chariots and horsemen ,
and fifty men to run before him .

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 .
*
And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah ,
and with Abiathar the priest :
and they following Adonijah helped him .
*
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 .
*
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 :
