|
1. And king David is old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he hath no heat,
|
1. Now king H4428 David H1732 was old H2204 and stricken H935 in years H3117 ; and they covered H3680 him with clothes H899 , but he got no heat H3808 H3179 .
|
|
2. and his servants say to him, `Let them seek for my lord the king a young woman, a virgin, and she hath stood before the king, and is to him a companion, and hath lain in thy bosom, and my lord the king hath heat.`
|
2. Wherefore his servants H5650 said H559 unto him , Let there be sought H1245 for my lord H113 the king H4428 a young H5291 virgin H1330 : and let her stand H5975 before H6440 the king H4428 , and let her cherish H5532 him , and let her lie H7901 in thy bosom H2436 , that my lord H113 the king H4428 may get heat H2552 .
|
|
3. And they seek a fair young woman in all the border of Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her in to the king,
|
3. So they sought H1245 for a fair H3303 damsel H5291 throughout all H3605 the coasts H1366 of Israel H3478 , and found H4672 H853 Abishag H49 a Shunammite H7767 , and brought H935 her to the king H4428 .
|
|
4. and the young woman is very very fair, and she is to the king a companion, and serveth him, and the king hath not known her.
|
4. And the damsel H5291 was very H5704 H3966 fair H3303 , and cherished H5532 the king H4428 , and ministered H8334 to him : but the king H4428 knew H3045 her not H3808 .
|
|
5. And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying, `I do reign;` and he prepareth for himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men running before him,
|
5. Then Adonijah H138 the son H1121 of Haggith H2294 exalted himself H4984 , saying H559 , I H589 will be king H4427 : and he prepared H6213 him chariots H7393 and horsemen H6571 , and fifty H2572 men H376 to run H7323 before H6440 him.
|
|
6. and his father hath not grieved him all his days, saying, `Wherefore thus hast thou done?` and he also is of a very good form, and his mother bare him after Absalom.
|
6. And his father H1 had not H3808 displeased H6087 him at any time H4480 H3117 in saying H559 , Why H4069 hast thou done H6213 so H3602 ? and he H1931 also H1571 was a very H3966 goodly H2896 H8389 man ; and his mother bore H3205 him after H310 Absalom H53 .
|
|
7. And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;
|
7. And he conferred H1697 with H5973 Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 , and with H5973 Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 : and they following H310 Adonijah H138 helped H5826 him .
|
|
8. and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones whom David hath, have not been with Adonijah.
|
8. But Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 , and Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 , and Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 , and Shimei H8096 , and Rei H7472 , and the mighty men H1368 which H834 belonged to David H1732 , were H1961 not H3808 with H5973 Adonijah H138 .
|
|
9. And Adonijah sacrificeth sheep and oxen and fatlings near the stone of Zoheleth, that is by En-Rogel, and calleth all his brethren, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah, servants of the king;
|
9. And Adonijah H138 slew H2076 sheep H6629 and oxen H1241 and fat cattle H4806 by H5973 the stone H68 of Zoheleth H2120 , which H834 is by H681 En H5883 -rogel , and called H7121 H853 all H3605 his brethren H251 the king H4428 's sons H1121 , and all H3605 the men H376 of Judah H3063 the king H4428 's servants H5650 :
|
|
10. and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and Solomon his brother, he hath not called.
|
10. But Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 , and Benaiah H1141 , and the mighty men H1368 , and Solomon H8010 his brother H251 , he called H7121 not H3808 .
|
|
11. And Nathan speaketh unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon, saying, `Hast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath reigned, and our lord David hath not known?
|
11. Wherefore Nathan H5416 spoke H559 unto H413 Bath H1339 -sheba the mother H517 of Solomon H8010 , saying H559 , Hast thou not H3808 heard H8085 that H3588 Adonijah H138 the son H1121 of Haggith H2294 doth reign H4427 , and David H1732 our lord H113 knoweth H3045 it not H3808 ?
|
|
12. and now, come, let me counsel thee, I pray thee, and deliver thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon;
|
12. Now H6258 therefore come H1980 , let me , I pray thee H4994 , give H3289 thee counsel H6098 , that thou mayest save H4422 H853 thine own life H5315 , and the life H5315 of thy son H1121 Solomon H8010 .
|
|
13. go and enter in unto king David, and thou hast said unto him, Hast thou not, my lord, O king, sworn to thy handmaid, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne? and wherefore hath Adonijah reigned?
|
13. Go H1980 and get thee in H935 unto H413 king H4428 David H1732 , and say H559 unto H413 him , Didst not H3808 thou H859 , my lord H113 , O king H4428 , swear H7650 unto thine handmaid H519 , saying H559 , Assuredly H3588 Solomon H8010 thy son H1121 shall reign H4427 after H310 me , and he H1931 shall sit H3427 upon H5921 my throne H3678 ? why H4069 then doth Adonijah H138 reign H4427 ?
|
|
14. Lo, thou are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after thee, and have completed thy words.`
|
14. Behold H2009 , while thou yet H5750 talkest H1696 there H8033 with H5973 the king H4428 , I H589 also will come in H935 after H310 thee , and confirm H4390 H853 thy words H1697 .
|
|
15. And Bath-Sheba cometh in unto the king, to the inner chamber, and the king is very aged, and Abishag the Shunammite is serving the king:
|
15. And Bath H1339 -sheba went in H935 unto H413 the king H4428 into the chamber H2315 : and the king H4428 was very H3966 old H2204 ; and Abishag H49 the Shunammite H7767 ministered unto H8334 H853 the king H4428 .
|
|
16. and Bath-Sheba boweth and doth obeisance to the king, and the king saith, `What -- to thee?`
|
16. And Bath H1339 -sheba bowed H6915 , and did obeisance H7812 unto the king H4428 . And the king H4428 said H559 , What H4100 wouldest thou?
|
|
17. And she saith to him, `My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah thy God to thy handmaid: Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;
|
17. And she said H559 unto him , My lord H113 , thou H859 swarest H7650 by the LORD H3068 thy God H430 unto thine handmaid H519 , saying , Assuredly H3588 Solomon H8010 thy son H1121 shall reign H4427 after H310 me , and he H1931 shall sit H3427 upon H5921 my throne H3678 .
|
|
18. and now, lo, Adonijah hath reigned, and now, my lord, O king, thou hast not known;
|
18. And now H6258 , behold H2009 , Adonijah H138 reigneth H4427 ; and now H6258 , my lord H113 the king H4428 , thou knowest H3045 it not H3808 :
|
|
19. and he sacrificeth ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab head of the host -- and for Solomon thy servant he hath not called.
|
19. And he hath slain H2076 oxen H7794 and fat cattle H4806 and sheep H6629 in abundance H7230 , and hath called H7121 all H3605 the sons H1121 of the king H4428 , and Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 , and Joab H3097 the captain H8269 of the host H6635 : but Solomon H8010 thy servant H5650 hath he not H3808 called H7121 .
|
|
20. And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are on thee, to declare to them who doth sit on the throne of my lord the king after him;
|
20. And thou H859 , my lord H113 , O king H4428 , the eyes H5869 of all H3605 Israel H3478 are upon H5921 thee , that thou shouldest tell H5046 them who H4310 shall sit H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of my lord H113 the king H4428 after H310 him.
|
|
21. and it hath been, when my lord the king lieth with his fathers, that I have been, I and my son Solomon -- reckoned sinners.`
|
21. Otherwise it shall come to pass H1961 , when my lord H113 the king H4428 shall sleep H7901 with H5973 his fathers H1 , that I H589 and my son H1121 Solomon H8010 shall be counted H1961 offenders H2400 .
|
|
22. And lo, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet hath come in;
|
22. And, lo H2009 , while she yet H5750 talked H1696 with H5973 the king H4428 , Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 also came in H935 .
|
|
23. and they declare to the king, saying, `Lo, Nathan the prophet;` and he cometh in before the king, and boweth himself to the king, on his face to the earth.
|
23. And they told H5046 the king H4428 , saying H559 , Behold H2009 Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 . And when he was come in H935 before H6440 the king H4428 , he bowed himself H7812 before the king H4428 with H5921 his face H639 to the ground H776 .
|
|
24. And Nathan saith, `My lord, O king, thou hast said, Adonijah doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne;
|
24. And Nathan H5416 said H559 , My lord H113 , O king H4428 , hast thou H859 said H559 , Adonijah H138 shall reign H4427 after H310 me , and he H1931 shall sit H3427 upon H5921 my throne H3678 ?
|
|
25. for he hath gone down to-day, and doth sacrifice ox, and fatling, and sheep, in abundance, and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for the heads of the host, and for Abiathar the priest, and lo, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Let king Adonijah live!
|
25. For H3588 he is gone down H3381 this day H3117 , and hath slain H2076 oxen H7794 and fat cattle H4806 and sheep H6629 in abundance H7230 , and hath called H7121 all H3605 the king H4428 's sons H1121 , and the captains H8269 of the host H6635 , and Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 ; and, behold H2009 , they eat H398 and drink H8354 before H6440 him , and say H559 , God save H2421 king H4428 Adonijah H138 .
|
|
26. `And for me -- me, thy servant, and for Zadok the priest, and for Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and for Solomon thy servant, he hath not called;
|
26. But me, even me H589 thy servant H5650 , and Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 , and Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 , and thy servant H5650 Solomon H8010 , hath he not H3808 called H7121 .
|
|
27. if from my lord the king this thing hath been, then thou hast not caused thy servant to know who doth sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.`
|
27. Is this H2088 thing H1697 done H1961 by H4480 H854 my lord H113 the king H4428 , and thou hast not H3808 showed it unto H3045 H853 thy servant H5650 , who H4310 should sit H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of my lord H113 the king H4428 after H310 him?
|
|
28. And king David answereth and saith, `Call for me for Bath-Sheba;` and she cometh in before the king, and standeth before the king.
|
28. Then king H4428 David H1732 answered H6030 and said H559 , Call H7121 me Bath H1339 -sheba . And she came into H935 the king H4428 's presence H6440 , and stood H5975 before H6440 the king H4428 .
|
|
29. And the king sweareth and saith, `Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity;
|
29. And the king H4428 swore H7650 , and said H559 , As the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , that H834 hath redeemed H6299 H853 my soul H5315 out of all H4480 H3605 distress H6869 ,
|
|
30. surely as I sware to thee by Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne in my stead; surely so I do this day.`
|
30. Even H3588 as H834 I swore H7650 unto thee by the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 , Assuredly H3588 Solomon H8010 thy son H1121 shall reign H4427 after H310 me , and he H1931 shall sit H3427 upon H5921 my throne H3678 in my stead H8478 ; even H3588 so H3651 will I certainly do H6213 this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
31. And Bath-Sheba boweth -- face to the earth -- and doth obeisance to the king, and saith, `Let my lord, king David, live to the age.`
|
31. Then Bath H1339 -sheba bowed H6915 with her face H639 to the earth H776 , and did reverence H7812 to the king H4428 , and said H559 , Let my lord H113 king H4428 David H1732 live H2421 forever H5769 .
|
|
32. And king David saith, `Call for me for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada;` and they come in before the king.
|
32. And king H4428 David H1732 said H559 , Call H7121 me Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 , and Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 , and Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 . And they came H935 before H6440 the king H4428 .
|
|
33. And the king saith to them, `Take with you the servants of your lord, and ye have caused Solomon my son to ride on mine own mule, and caused him to go down unto Gihon,
|
33. The king H4428 also said H559 unto them, Take H3947 with H5973 you H853 the servants H5650 of your lord H113 , and cause H853 Solomon H8010 my son H1121 to ride H7392 upon H5921 mine own mule H6506 , and bring him down H3381 H853 to H413 Gihon H1521 :
|
|
34. and anointed him there hath Zadok the priest -- and Nathan the prophet -- for king over Israel, and ye have blown with a trumpet, and said, Let king Solomon live;
|
34. And let Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 and Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 anoint H4886 him there H8033 king H4428 over H5921 Israel H3478 : and blow H8628 ye with the trumpet H7782 , and say H559 , God save H2421 king H4428 Solomon H8010 .
|
|
35. and ye have come up after him, and he hath come in and hath sat on my throne, and he doth reign in my stead, and him I have appointed to be leader over Israel, and over Judah.`
|
35. Then ye shall come up H5927 after H310 him , that he may come H935 and sit H3427 upon H5921 my throne H3678 ; for he H1931 shall be king H4427 in my stead H8478 : and I have appointed H6680 him to be H1961 ruler H5057 over H5921 Israel H3478 and over H5921 Judah H3063 .
|
|
36. And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answereth the king, and saith, `Amen! so doth Jehovah, God of my lord the king, say;
|
36. And Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 answered H6030 H853 the king H4428 , and said H559 , Amen H543 : the LORD H3068 God H430 of my lord H113 the king H4428 say H559 so H3651 too .
|
|
37. as Jehovah hath been with my lord the king, so is He with Solomon, and doth make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.`
|
37. As H834 the LORD H3068 hath been H1961 with H5973 my lord H113 the king H4428 , even so H3651 be H1961 he with H5973 Solomon H8010 , and make his throne greater H1431 H853 H3678 than the throne H4480 H3678 of my lord H113 king H4428 David H1732 .
|
|
38. And Zadok the priest goeth down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of king David, and cause him to go unto Gihon,
|
38. So Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 , and Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 , and Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 , and the Cherethites H3774 , and the Pelethites H6432 , went down H3381 , and caused H853 Solomon H8010 to ride H7392 upon H5921 king H4428 David H1732 's mule H6506 , and brought H1980 him to H5921 Gihon H1521 .
|
|
39. and Zadok the priest taketh the horn of oil out of the tent, and anointeth Solomon, and they blow with a trumpet, and all the people say, `Let king Solomon live.`
|
39. And Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 took H3947 H853 a horn H7161 of oil H8081 out of H4480 the tabernacle H168 , and anointed H4886 H853 Solomon H8010 . And they blew H8628 the trumpet H7782 ; and all H3605 the people H5971 said H559 , God save H2421 king H4428 Solomon H8010 .
|
|
40. And all the people come up after him, and the people are piping with pipes, and rejoicing -- great joy, and the earth rendeth with their voice.
|
40. And all H3605 the people H5971 came up H5927 after H310 him , and the people H5971 piped H2490 with pipes H2485 , and rejoiced H8056 with great H1419 joy H8057 , so that the earth H776 rent H1234 with the sound H6963 of them.
|
|
41. And Adonijah heareth, and all those called, who are with him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab heareth the noise of the trumpet, and saith, `Wherefore is the noise of the city roaring?`
|
41. And Adonijah H138 and all H3605 the guests H7121 that H834 were with H854 him heard H8085 it as they H1992 had made an end H3615 of eating H398 . And when Joab H3097 heard H8085 H853 the sound H6963 of the trumpet H7782 , he said H559 , Wherefore H4069 is this noise H6963 of the city H7151 being in an uproar H1993 ?
|
|
42. He is yet speaking, and lo, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest hath come in, and Adonijah saith, `Come in, for a man of valour thou art, and thou bearest good tidings.`
|
42. And while he yet H5750 spoke H1696 , behold H2009 , Jonathan H3129 the son H1121 of Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 came H935 : and Adonijah H138 said H559 unto him , Come in H935 ; for H3588 thou H859 art a valiant H2428 man H376 , and bringest good tidings H2896 H1319 .
|
|
43. And Jonathan answereth and saith to Adonijah, `Verily our lord king David hath caused Solomon to reign,
|
43. And Jonathan H3129 answered H6030 and said H559 to Adonijah H138 , Verily H61 our lord H113 king H4428 David H1732 hath made Solomon king H4427 H853 H8010 .
|
|
44. and the king sendeth with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride on the king`s mule,
|
44. And the king H4428 hath sent H7971 with H854 him H853 Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 , and Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 , and Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 , and the Cherethites H3774 , and the Pelethites H6432 , and they have caused him to ride H7392 H853 upon H5921 the king H4428 's mule H6506 :
|
|
45. and they anoint him -- Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet -- for king in Gihon, and are come up thence rejoicing, and the city is moved; it is the noise that ye have heard.
|
45. And Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 and Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 have anointed H4886 him king H4428 in Gihon H1521 : and they are come up H5927 from thence H4480 H8033 rejoicing H8056 , so that the city H7151 rang H1949 again. This H1931 is the noise H6963 that H834 ye have heard H8085 .
|
|
46. `And also Solomon hath sat on the throne of the kingdom,
|
46. And also H1571 Solomon H8010 sitteth H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of the kingdom H4410 .
|
|
47. and also the servants of the king have come into bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God doth make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and his throne greater than thy throne; and the king boweth himself on the bed,
|
47. And moreover H1571 the king H4428 's servants H5650 came H935 to bless H1288 H853 our lord H113 king H4428 David H1732 , saying H559 , God H430 make H853 the name H8034 of Solomon H8010 better H3190 than thy name H4480 H8034 , and make H853 his throne H3678 greater H1431 than thy throne H4480 H3678 . And the king H4428 bowed himself H7812 upon H5921 the bed H4904 .
|
|
48. and also thus hath the king said, Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath given to-day one sitting on my throne, and mine eyes seeing.`
|
48. And also H1571 thus H3602 said H559 the king H4428 , Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , which H834 hath given H5414 one to sit H3427 on H5921 my throne H3678 this day H3117 , mine eyes H5869 even seeing H7200 it .
|
|
49. And they tremble, and rise -- all those called who are for Adonijah -- and go, each on his way;
|
49. And all H3605 the guests H7121 that H834 were with Adonijah H138 were afraid H2729 , and rose up H6965 , and went H1980 every man H376 his way H1870 .
|
|
