\verseNumber{13}Go|strong="H3212" and get thee in|strong="H0935" unto king|strong="H4428" David|strong="H1732", and say|strong="H0559" unto him, Didst not thou, my lord|strong="H0113", O king|strong="H4428", swear|strong="H7650" unto thine handmaid|strong="H0519", saying|strong="H0559", Assuredly|strong="H3588" Solomon|strong="H8010" thy son|strong="H1121" shall reign|strong="H4427" after|strong="H0310" me, and he shall sit|strong="H3427" upon my throne|strong="H3678"? why then doth Adonijah|strong="H0138" reign|strong="H4427"? 
\verseNumber{14}Behold, while thou yet talkest|strong="H1696" there with the king|strong="H4428", I also will come in|strong="H0935" after|strong="H0310" thee, and confirm|strong="H4390" thy words|strong="H1697".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.14  }confirm: Heb. fill up}

\verseNumber{16}And Bath-sheba|strong="H1339" bowed|strong="H6915", and did obeisance|strong="H7812" unto the king|strong="H4428". And the king|strong="H4428" said|strong="H0559", What wouldest thou?\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.16  }What…: Heb. What to thee?} 
\verseNumber{17}And she said|strong="H0559" unto him, My lord|strong="H0113", thou swarest|strong="H7650" by the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} thy God|strong="H0430" unto thine handmaid|strong="H0519", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{saying}, Assuredly Solomon|strong="H8010" thy son|strong="H1121" shall reign|strong="H4427" after|strong="H0310" me, and he shall sit|strong="H3427" upon my throne|strong="H3678". 
\verseNumber{18}And now, behold, Adonijah|strong="H0138" reigneth|strong="H4427"; and now, my lord|strong="H0113" the king|strong="H4428", thou knowest|strong="H3045" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} not: 
\verseNumber{19}And he hath slain|strong="H2076" oxen|strong="H7794" and fat cattle|strong="H4806" and sheep|strong="H6629" in abundance|strong="H7230", and hath called|strong="H7121" all the sons|strong="H1121" of the king|strong="H4428", and Abiathar|strong="H0054" the priest|strong="H3548", and Joab|strong="H3097" the captain|strong="H8269" of the host|strong="H6635": but Solomon|strong="H8010" thy servant|strong="H5650" hath he not called|strong="H7121". 
\verseNumber{20}And thou, my lord|strong="H0113", O king|strong="H4428", the eyes|strong="H5869" of all Israel|strong="H3478" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{are} upon thee, that thou shouldest tell|strong="H5046" them who shall sit|strong="H3427" on the throne|strong="H3678" of my lord|strong="H0113" the king|strong="H4428" after|strong="H0310" him. 
\verseNumber{21}Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord|strong="H0113" the king|strong="H4428" shall sleep|strong="H7901" with his fathers|strong="H0001", that I and my son|strong="H1121" Solomon|strong="H8010" shall be counted offenders|strong="H2400".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.21  }offenders: Heb. sinners}

\verseNumber{23}And they told|strong="H5046" the king|strong="H4428", saying|strong="H0559", Behold Nathan|strong="H5416" the prophet|strong="H5030". And when he was come in|strong="H0935" before|strong="H6440" the king|strong="H4428", he bowed|strong="H7812" himself before the king|strong="H4428" with his face|strong="H0639" to the ground|strong="H0776". 
\verseNumber{24}And Nathan|strong="H5416" said|strong="H0559", My lord|strong="H0113", O king|strong="H4428", hast thou said|strong="H0559", Adonijah|strong="H0138" shall reign|strong="H4427" after|strong="H0310" me, and he shall sit|strong="H3427" upon my throne|strong="H3678"? 
\verseNumber{25}For he is gone down|strong="H3381" this day|strong="H3117", and hath slain|strong="H2076" oxen|strong="H7794" and fat cattle|strong="H4806" and sheep|strong="H6629" in abundance|strong="H7230", and hath called|strong="H7121" all the king’s|strong="H4428" sons|strong="H1121", and the captains|strong="H8269" of the host|strong="H6635", and Abiathar|strong="H0054" the priest|strong="H3548"; and, behold, they eat|strong="H0398" and drink|strong="H8354" before|strong="H6440" him, and say|strong="H0559", God save|strong="H2421" king|strong="H4428" Adonijah|strong="H0138".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.25  }God…: Heb.

\verseNumber{27}Is this thing|strong="H1697" done|strong="H1961" by my lord|strong="H0113" the king|strong="H4428", and thou hast not shewed|strong="H3045" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} unto thy servant|strong="H5650", who should sit|strong="H3427" on the throne|strong="H3678" of my lord|strong="H0113" the king|strong="H4428" after|strong="H0310" him?
