1Kgs 1:2 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.

1Kgs 1:3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

wəhanna‘ărāh yāp̱āh ‘aḏ-mə’ōḏ wattəhî lammeleḵ sōḵeneṯ wattəšārəṯēhû wəhammeleḵ lō’ yəḏā‘āhh

1Kgs 1:4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.

1Kgs 1:5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

1Kgs 1:6 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.

wayyihəyû ḏəḇārāyw ‘im yô’āḇ ben-ṣərûyāh wə‘im ’eḇəyāṯār hakkōhēn wayya‘əzərû ’aḥărê ’ăḏōniyyāh

1Kgs 1:7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.

1Kgs 1:8 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.

1Kgs 1:9 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:

wə’eṯ-nāṯān hannāḇî’ ûḇənāyāhû wə’eṯ-haggibbôrîm wə’eṯ-šəlōmōh ’āḥîw lō’ qārā’

1Kgs 1:10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.

1Kgs 1:11 Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?

wə‘attāh ləḵî ’î‘āṣēḵ nā’ ‘ēṣāh ûmalləṭî ’eṯ-nap̱əšēḵ wə’eṯ-nep̱eš bənēḵ šəlōmōh

1Kgs 1:12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

1Kgs 1:13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

hinnēh ‘ôḏāḵ məḏabbereṯ šām ‘im-hammeleḵ wa’ănî ’āḇô’ ’aḥărayiḵ ûmillē’ṯî ’eṯ-dəḇārāyiḵ

1Kgs 1:14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

1Kgs 1:15 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.

wattiqqōḏ baṯ-šeḇa‘ wattišətaḥû lammeleḵ wayyō’mer hammeleḵ mah-llāḵ

1Kgs 1:16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

1Kgs 1:17 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

wə‘attāh hinnēh ’ăḏōniyyāh mālāḵ wə‘attāh ’ăḏōnî hammeleḵ lō’ yāḏā‘ətā

1Kgs 1:18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:

1Kgs 1:19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.

wə’attāh ’ăḏōnî hammeleḵ ‘ênê ḵāl-yiśərā’ēl ‘āleyḵā ləhaggîḏ lāhem mî yēšēḇ ‘al-kissē’ ’ăḏōnî-hammeleḵ ’aḥărāyw

1Kgs 1:20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

1Kgs 1:21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

wəhinnēh ‘ôḏennāh məḏabbereṯ ‘im-hammeleḵ wənāṯān hannāḇî’ bā’

1Kgs 1:22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

1Kgs 1:23 And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

wayyō’mer nāṯān ’ăḏōnî hammeleḵ ’attāh ’āmarətā ’ăḏōniyyāhû yiməlōḵ ’aḥărāy wəhû’ yēšēḇ ‘al-kisə’î

1Kgs 1:24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

1Kgs 1:25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.

1Kgs 1:26 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.

1Kgs 1:27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

1Kgs 1:28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

wayyiššāḇa‘ hammeleḵ wayyō’mar ḥay-yəhwāh ’ăšer-pāḏāh ’eṯ-nap̱əšî mikkāl-ṣārāh

1Kgs 1:29 And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

1Kgs 1:30 Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

wattiqqōḏ baṯ-šeḇa‘ ’appayim ’ereṣ wattišətaḥû lammeleḵ wattō’mer yəḥî ’ăḏōnî hammeleḵ dāwiḏ lə‘ōlām

1Kgs 1:31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.

1Kgs 1:32 And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

1Kgs 1:33 The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

ûmāšaḥ ’ōṯô šām ṣāḏôq hakkōhēn wənāṯān hannāḇî’ ləmeleḵ ‘al-yiśərā’ēl ûṯəqa‘ətem baššôp̱ār wa’ămarətem yəḥî hammeleḵ šəlōmōh

1Kgs 1:34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.

1Kgs 1:35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

1Kgs 1:36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.

1Kgs 1:37 As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

1Kgs 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 caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

1Kgs 1:39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.

1Kgs 1:40 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.

1Kgs 1:41 And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?

‘ôḏennû məḏabbēr wəhinnēh yônāṯān ben-’eḇəyāṯār hakkōhēn bā’ wayyō’mer ’ăḏōniyyāhû bō’ kî ’îš ḥayil ’attāh wəṭôḇ təḇaśśēr

1Kgs 1:42 And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.

wayya‘an yônāṯān wayyō’mer la’ăḏōniyyāhû ’ăḇāl ’ăḏōnênû hammeleḵ-dāwiḏ himəlîḵ ’eṯ-šəlōmōh

1Kgs 1:43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.

wayyišəlaḥ ’ittô-hammeleḵ ’eṯ-ṣāḏôq hakkōhēn wə’eṯ-nāṯān hannāḇî’ ûḇənāyāhû ben-yəhôyāḏā‘ wəhakkərēṯî wəhappəlēṯî wayyarəkiḇû ’ōṯô ‘al pirədaṯ hammeleḵ

1Kgs 1:44 And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule:

1Kgs 1:45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.

wəg̱am yāšaḇ šəlōmōh ‘al kissē’ hamməlûḵāh

1Kgs 1:46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.

1Kgs 1:47 And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.

wəg̱am-kāḵāh ’āmar hammeleḵ bārûḵ yəhwāh ’ĕlōhê yiśərā’ēl ’ăšer nāṯan hayyôm yōšēḇ ‘al-kisə’î wə‘ênay rō’ôṯ

1Kgs 1:48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.

wayyeḥerəḏû wayyāqumû kāl-haqqəru’îm ’ăšer la’ăḏōniyyāhû wayyēləḵû ’îš ləḏarəkô

1Kgs 1:49 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.

1Kgs 1:50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

1Kgs 1:51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

wayyō’mer šəlōmōh ’im yihəyeh ləḇen-ḥayil lō’-yippōl miśśa‘ărāṯô ’ārəṣāh wə’im-rā‘āh ṯimmāṣē’-ḇô wāmēṯ

1Kgs 1:52 And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.

wayyišəlaḥ hammeleḵ šəlōmōh wayyōriḏuhû mē‘al hammizəbēaḥ wayyāḇō’ wayyišətaḥû lammeleḵ šəlōmōh wayyō’mer-lô šəlōmōh lēḵ ləḇêṯeḵā

1Kgs 1:53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.
