Bible. Kings, 1st
001:019 and he has slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance,
and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest,
and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn't called
Solomon your servant.
001:020 You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you,
that you should tell them who shall sit on the throne of my
lord the king after him.
001:021 Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king shall
sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall
be counted offenders.
001:022 Behold, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the
prophet came in.
001:023 They told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet.
When he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before
the king with his face to the ground.
001:024 Nathan said, My lord, king, have you said, Adonijah shall
reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?
001:025 For he is gone down this day, and has slain oxen and fatlings
and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons,
and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest;
and behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and say,
[Long] live king Adonijah.
001:026 But he hasn't called me, even me your servant, and Zadok the priest,
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.
001:027 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven't shown
to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord
the king after him?
001:028 Then king David answered, Call to me Bathsheba.
She came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
001:029 The king swore, and said, As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed
my soul out of all adversity,
001:030 most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel,
saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me,
and he shall sit on my throne in my place; most certainly
so will I do this day.
001:031 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance
to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live forever.
001:032 King David said, Call to me Zadok the priest, and Nathan
the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. They came
before the king.
001:033 The king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord,
and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring
him down to Gihon:
001:034 and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him
there king over Israel; and blow you the trumpet, and say,
[Long] live king Solomon.
001:035 Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit
on my throne; for he shall be king in my place; and I have
appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.
001:036 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king,
and said, Amen: Yahweh, the God of my lord the king,
say so [too].
