1 Now King David had aged, he had come into days, and they covered him with garments, but it was not warm for him. 2 And his servants said to him, “Let them seek for my lord the king a young woman, a virgin, and let her stand to the face of the king, and let her be caring for him, and let her lie in your bosom, that it may be warm for my lord the king.”
3 And they sought a beautiful young woman in all of the border of Israel, and they found Abishag the Shunammitess, and they brought her to the king. 4 Now the young woman was beautiful to abundance. And she became one caring for the king, and she served him, but the king did not know her.
5 Now Adonijah, the son of Haggith, was lifting himself up, saying, “I, I will reign.” And he made for himself a chariot and horses and 50 men running to his face. 6 And his father had not grieved him from his days, saying, “Why have you done thus?” And he was also very good of appearance, and she had borne him after Absalom.
7 And his words were with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest. And they helped after Adonijah. 8 But Zadok the priest and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei and the warriors who were to David were not with Adonijah.
9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and cattle and fatling at the stone of Zoheleth, which is near En Rogel. And he called all of his brothers, the sons of the king, and to all of the men of Judah, the servants of the king. 10 But he did not call Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the warriors or his brother Solomon.
11 And Nathan spoke to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, reigns, and our master David does not know? 12 And now, come, please let me counsel you counsel, and escape with your life and with the life of your son Solomon. 13 Go, and come to King David, and you shall say to him, ‘My lord the king, you, have you not sworn to your female servant, saying, “Surely Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Then why does Adonijah reign?’ 14 Behold, you will still be speaking there with the king, and I, I will come after you, and I will fill your words.”
15 So Bathsheba came to the king, into the room. (Now the king had aged greatly, and Abishag the Shunammitess was serving the king.) 16 And Bathsheba bowed and prostrated herself to the king. And the king said, “What to you?”
17 And she said to him, “My lord, you, you swore to your female servant by Yahweh your God, ‘Surely Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’ 18 But now, behold, Adonijah reigns, and now, my lord the king, you do not know. 19 And he has sacrificed ox and fatling and sheep to abundance, and he has called to all of the sons of the king and to Abiathar the priest and to Joab the commander of the army, but to Solomon your servant he has not called. 20 And you, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel are on you, to declare to them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 21 And it will happen, when my lord the king lies down with his fathers, that I will be, I and my son Solomon, offenders.”
22 And behold, she was still speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet came. 23 And they declared to the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet.” And he came to the face of the king, and he prostrated himself to the king with his nose to the ground.
24 And Nathan said, “My lord the king, you, have you said, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’? 25 For he has gone down today and sacrificed ox and fatling and sheep to abundance, and he has called to all of the sons of the king and to the commanders of the army and to Abiathar the priest. And behold them, eating and drinking to his face. And they are saying, ‘May King Adonijah live!’ 26 But to me, me your servant, and to Zadok the priest and to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and to Solomon your servant, he has not called. 27 Has this thing been done from with my lord the king and you have not made your servants know who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
28 And King David answered and said, “Call to Bathsheba for me.” And she came to the face of the king, and she stood to the face of the king.
29 And the king swore and said, “The life of Yahweh, who has rescued my life from every distress, 30 that just as I swore to you by Yahweh the God of Israel, saying, ‘Surely Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place,’ surely thus I will do this day.”
31 And Bathsheba bowed, nostrils to the ground, and she prostrated herself to the king, and she said, “May my lord King David live to forever!”
32 And King David said, “Call to me to Zadok the priest and to Nathan the prophet and to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada.” And they came to the face of the king. 33 And the king said to them, “Take the servants of your master with you, and you shall make Solomon my son ride on the female mule that is to me, and you shall bring him down to Gihon. 34 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet shall anoint him there as king over Israel. And you shall blow on a shofar, and you shall say, ‘May King Solomon live!’ 35 And you shall go up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he, he will reign in my place. And I have commanded him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.”
36 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answered the king and said, “Truly! May Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say thus! 37 Just as Yahweh has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
38 Then Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite and the Pelethite went down, and they made Solomon ride on the female mule of King David. And they brought him to Gihon. 39 And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent, and he anointed Solomon. And they blew on the shofar, and all of the people said, “May King Solomon live!” 40 Then all of the people went up after him. And the people were piping with pipes and rejoicing a great rejoicing. And the earth was split by their sound.
41 And Adonijah and all of the called ones who were with him heard, and they had finished eating. And Joab heard the sound of the shofar, and he said, “Why is the sound of the city being noisy?”
42 He was still speaking, and behold, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, came. And Adonijah said, “Come, for you are a man of valor, and you will bring good news.”
43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, “Truly, our master King David has made Solomon reign. 44 And the king sent with him Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite and the Pelethite. And they made him ride on the female mule of the king. 45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him as king at Gihon, and they have come up from there rejoicing, and the city is agitated. This is the sound that you have heard. 46 And also, Solomon is sitting on the throne of the kingdom. 47 And also, the servants of the king came to bless our master King David, saying, ‘May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and may he make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king bowed himself on the bed. 48 And also, thus said the king, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who today has given a sitter on my throne, and my eyes are seeing.’ ”
49 Then all of the called ones who were with Adonijah trembled and arose. And they went, a man to his way. 50 And Adonijah was afraid from the face of Solomon. And he arose and went and grasped the horns of the altar. 51 And it was declared to Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon. And behold, he has grasped the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me as today if he will kill his servant with the sword.’ ”
52 And Solomon said, “If he will be a son of valor, from his hair shall not fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, then he shall die.” 53 And King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from beside the altar. And he came and prostrated himself to King Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
