David in Old Age
1 Now King H4428 David H1732 was H2204 old H2204, advanced H935 in age H3117; and they covered H3680 him with clothes H899, but he could not keep H2552 warm H2552.
2 So his servants H5650 said H559 to him, “Let them seek H1245 a young H5291 virgin H1330 for my lord H113 the king H4428, and let her stand H5975 before H6440 the king H4428 and become H1961 his nurse H5532; and let her lie H7901 in your bosom H2436, that my lord H113 the king H4428 may keep H2552 warm H2552.” 3 So they sought H1245 for a beautiful H3303 young H5291 woman H5291 throughout all H3605 the territory H1366 of Israel H3478, and found H4672 Abishag H49 the Shunammite H7767, and brought H935 her to the king H4428. 4 Now the young H5291 woman H5291 was very H3966 beautiful H3303; and she became H1961 the king’s H4428 nurse H5532 and attended H8334 him, but the king H4428 did not [fn]know H3045 her.
5 Now Adonijah H138 the son H1121 of Haggith H2294 exalted H5375 himself, saying H559, “I will be H4427 king H4427.” So he prepared H6213 for himself a chariot H7393 and horsemen H6571 and fifty H2572 men H376 as runners H7323 before H6440 him. 6 But his father H1 had never H3808 [fn]grieved H6087 him at any H4480 time H3117 by asking H559, “Why H4069 have you done H6213 so H3602?” And he was also H1571 a very H3966 handsome H2896 man H2896 in form H8389, and [fn]he was born H3205 after H310 Absalom H53. 7 [fn]And he had conferred H1697 H1961 with Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 and with Abiathar H54 the priest H3548; and following H310 Adonijah H138, they helped H5826 him. 8 But Zadok H6659 the priest H3548, Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077, Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030, Shimei H8096, Rei H7472, and the mighty H1368 men H1368 who H834 belonged to David H1732, were not with Adonijah H138.
9 And Adonijah H138 sacrificed H2076 sheep H6629 and oxen H1241 and fatlings H4806 by the [fn]stone H68 of Zoheleth H2120, which H834 is beside H681 En-rogel H5883; and he invited H7121 all H3605 his brothers H251, the king’s H4428 sons H1121, and all H3605 the men H376 of Judah H3063, the king’s H4428 servants H5650. 10 But he did not invite H7121 Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030, Benaiah H1141, the mighty H1368 men H1368, and Solomon H8010 his brother H251.
Nathan Speaks to Bathsheba
11 Then Nathan H5416 spoke H559 to Bathsheba H1339 the mother H517 of Solomon H8010, saying H559, “Have you not heard H8085 that Adonijah H138 the son H1121 of Haggith H2294 has become H4427 king H4427, and David H1732 our lord H113 does not know H3045 it?
12 So now H6258 come H1980, please H4994 let me give H3289 you counsel H6098 and provide H4422 escape H4422 for your life H5315 and the life H5315 of your son H1121 Solomon H8010. 13 Go H1980 [fn]at once H935 to King H4428 David H1732 and say H559 to him, ‘Have you not, my lord H113, O king H4428, sworn H7650 to your maidservant H519, saying H559, “Surely H3588 Solomon H8010 your son H1121 shall be H4427 king H4427 after H310 me, and he shall sit H3427 on my throne H3678”? Why H4069 then has Adonijah H138 become H4427 king H4427?’ 14 Behold H2009, while you are still H5750 there H8033 speaking H1696 with the king H4428, I will come H935 in H935 after H310 you and fully H4390 confirm H4390 your words H1697.”
15 So Bathsheba H1339 went H935 in to the king H4428 in the bedroom H2315. Now the king H4428 was H2204 very H3966 old H2204, and Abishag H49 the Shunammite H7767 was ministering H8334 to the king H4428. 16 Then Bathsheba H1339 bowed H6915 and prostrated H2331 herself [fn]before the king H4428. And the king H4428 said H559, “What H4100 [fn]do you wish?” 17 And she said H559 to him, “My lord H113, you swore H7650 to your maidservant H519 by [fn]Yahweh H3068 your God H430, saying, ‘Surely H3588 your son H1121 Solomon H8010 shall be H4427 king H4427 after H310 me and he shall sit H3427 on my throne H3678.’ 18 But now H6258, behold H2009, Adonijah H138 is H4427 king H4427; and now H6258, my lord H113 the king H4428, you do not know H3045 it. 19 And he has sacrificed H2076 oxen H7794 and fatlings H4806 and sheep H6629 in abundance H7230, and has invited H7121 all H3605 the sons H1121 of the king H4428 and Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 and Joab H3097 the commander H8269 of the army H6635, but he has not invited H7121 Solomon H8010 your servant H5650. 20 As for you now, my lord H113 the king H4428, the eyes H5869 of all H3605 Israel H3478 are on you, to tell H5046 them who H4310 shall sit H3427 on the throne H3678 of my lord H113 the king H4428 after H310 him. 21 Otherwise it will be H1961, as soon as my lord H113 the king H4428 sleeps H7901 with his fathers H1, that I and my son H1121 Solomon H8010 will be considered [fn]offenders H2400.”
22 Behold H2009, while she was still H5750 speaking H1696 with the king H4428, Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 came H935 in H935. 23 Then they told H5046 the king H4428, saying H559, “Here H2009 is Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030.” And then he came H935 in H935 before H6440 the king H4428 and prostrated H2331 himself [fn]before the king H4428 with his [fn]face H639 to the ground H776. 24 Then Nathan H5416 said H559, “My lord H113 the king H4428, have you said H559, ‘Adonijah H138 shall be H4427 king H4427 after H310 me, and he shall sit H3427 on my throne H3678’? 25 For he has gone H3381 down H3381 today H3117 and has sacrificed H2076 oxen H7794 and fatlings H4806 and sheep H6629 in abundance H7230, and has invited H7121 all H3605 the king’s H4428 sons H1121 and the commanders H8269 of the army H6635 and Abiathar H54 the priest H3548, and behold H2009, they are eating H398 and drinking H8354 before H6440 him; and they say H559, ‘Long live H2421 King H4428 Adonijah H138!’ 26 But me, even me your servant H5650, and Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 and Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 and your servant H5650 Solomon H8010, he has not invited H7121. 27 Has this H2088 thing H1697 happened H1961 by my lord H113 the king H4428, and you have not made H3045 known H3045 to your [fn]servants H5650 who H4310 should sit H3427 on the throne H3678 of my lord H113 the king H4428 after H310 him?”
28 Then King H4428 David H1732 answered H6030 and said H559, “Call H7121 Bathsheba H1339 to me.” And she came H935 into the king’s H4428 presence H6440 and stood H5975 before H6440 the king H4428. 29 And the king H4428 swore H7650 and said H559, “As Yahweh H3068 lives H2416, who H834 has redeemed H6299 my life H5315 from all H3605 distress H6869, 30 surely H3588 as I swore H7650 to you by Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, saying H559, ‘Surely H3588 your son H1121 Solomon H8010 shall be H4427 king H4427 after H310 me, and he shall sit H3427 on my throne H3678 in H8478 my place H8478’; I will surely H3588 do H6213 so H3651 this H2088 day H3117.” 31 Then Bathsheba H1339 bowed H6915 with her [fn]face H639 to the ground H776, and prostrated H2331 herself [fn]before the king H4428 and said H559, “May my lord H113 King H4428 David H1732 live H2421 forever H5769.”
32 Then King H4428 David H1732 said H559, “Call H7121 to me Zadok H6659 the priest H3548, Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030, and Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077.” And they came H935 into the king’s H4428 presence H6440. 33 And the king H4428 said H559 to them, “Take H3947 with you the servants H5650 of your lord H113, and have my son H1121 Solomon H8010 ride H7392 on my own mule H6506, and bring H3381 him down H3381 to Gihon H1521. 34 And Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 and Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 shall anoint H4886 him there H8033 as king H4428 over H5921 Israel H3478 and blow H8628 the trumpet H7782 and say H559, ‘Long live H2421 King H4428 Solomon H8010!’ 35 Then you shall come H5927 up H5927 after H310 him, and he shall come H935 and sit H3427 on my throne H3678. And he H1931 shall be H4427 king H4427 in H8478 my place H8478; for I have commanded H6680 him to be ruler H5057 over H5921 Israel H3478 and Judah H3063.” 36 Then Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 answered H6030 the king H4428 and said H559, “Amen H543! Thus H3651 may Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of my lord H113 the king H4428, say H559. 37 As Yahweh H3068 has been H1961 with my lord H113 the king H4428, so H3651 may He be with Solomon H8010, and make H1431 his throne H3678 greater H1431 than H4480 the throne H3678 of my lord H113 King H4428 David H1732!”
Solomon Anointed King
38 So Zadok H6659 the priest H3548, Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030, Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077, the Cherethites H3774, and the Pelethites H6432 went H3381 down H3381 and had Solomon H8010 ride H7392 on King H4428 David’s H1732 mule H6506, and brought H1980 him to Gihon H1521.
39 Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 then took H3947 the horn H7161 of oil H8081 from the tent H168 and anointed H4886 Solomon H8010. Then they blew H8628 the trumpet H7782, and all H3605 the people H5971 said H559, “Long live H2421 King H4428 Solomon H8010!” 40 And all H3605 the people H5971 went H5927 up H5927 after H310 him, and the people H5971 [fn]were playing H2490 on flutes H2485 and were glad H8056 with great H1419 gladness H8057, so that the earth H776 [fn]shook H1234 at their sound H6963.
41 And Adonijah H138 and all H3605 the guests H7121 who H834 were with him heard H8085 it as they finished H3615 eating H398. Then Joab H3097 heard H8085 the sound H6963 of the trumpet H7782 and said H559, “Why H4069 is the sound H6963 of the city H7151 such an H1993 uproar H1993?” 42 While he was still H5750 speaking H1696, behold H2009, Jonathan H3083 the son H1121 of Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 came H935. Then Adonijah H138 said H559, “Come H935 in H935, for you are a valiant H2428 man H376 and bring H1319 good H2896 news H1319.” 43 But Jonathan H3083 answered H6030 and said H559 to Adonijah H138, “No H61! Our lord H113 King H4428 David H1732 has made H4427 Solomon H8010 king H4428. 44 The king H4428 has also sent H7971 with him Zadok H6659 the priest H3548, Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030, Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077, the Cherethites H3774, and the Pelethites H6432; and they have made him ride H7392 on the king’s H4428 mule H6506. 45 And Zadok H6659 the priest H3548 and Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 have anointed H4886 him king H4428 in Gihon H1521, and they have come H5927 up H5927 from there H8033 with gladness H8056, so that the city H7151 is in an uproar H1949. This H1931 is the sound H6963 which H834 you have heard H8085. 46 And also H1571, Solomon H8010 has even H1571 taken H3427 his seat H3427 on the throne H3678 of the kingdom H4410. 47 And also H1571, the king’s H4428 servants H5650 came H935 to bless H1288 our lord H113 King H4428 David H1732, saying H559, ‘May your God H430 make H3190 the name H8034 of Solomon H8010 better H3190 than H4480 your name H8034 and his throne H3678 greater H1431 than H4480 your throne H3678!’ And the king H4428 bowed H2331 himself on the bed H4904. 48 And also H1571, the king H4428 said H559 thus H3602, ‘Blessed H1288 be Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, who H834 has granted H5414 one to sit H3427 on my throne H3678 today H3117 while my own eyes H5869 see H7200 it.’”
49 Then all H3605 the guests H7121 of Adonijah H138 trembled H2729; and they arose H6965 and each H376 went H1980 on his way H1870. 50 And Adonijah H138 was H3372 afraid H3372 of Solomon H8010, and he arose H6965, went H1980, and took H2388 hold H2388 of the horns H7161 of the altar H4196. 51 Then it was told H5046 to Solomon H8010, saying H559, “Behold H2009, Adonijah H138 is H3372 afraid H3372 of King H4428 Solomon H8010, and behold H2009, he has taken H270 hold H270 of the horns H7161 of the altar H4196, saying H559, ‘Let King H4428 Solomon H8010 swear H7650 to me today H3117 that he will not put H4191 his servant H5650 to H4191 death H4191 with the sword H2719.’” 52 And Solomon H8010 said H559, “If H518 he is a worthy H2428 man H1121, not one of his hairs H8185 will fall H5307 to the ground H776; but if H518 evil H7451 is found H4672 in him, he will die H4191.” 53 So King H4428 Solomon H8010 sent H7971, and they brought H3381 him down H3381 from the altar H4196. And he came H935 and prostrated H2331 himself [fn]before King H4428 Solomon H8010, and Solomon H8010 said H559 to him, “Go H1980 to your house H1004.”
