1 Now King Davidwas old and well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm. 2 So his servants said to him, "Let us search for a young virgin for our lord the king, to attend to him and care for him and lie by his side to keep him warm."
3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishagthe Shunammiteand brought her to the king. 4 The girl was unsurpassed in beauty; she cared for the king and served him, but he had no relations with her.
Adonijah Usurps the Kingdom
5 At that time Adonijah, David’s son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, "I will be king!" And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of him.
6 (His father had never once reprimanded him by saying, "Why do you act this way?" Adonijah was also very handsome, born next after Absalom.)
7 So Adonijahconferred with Joabson of Zeruiahand with Abiatharthe priest, who supported him. 8 But Zadokthe priest, Benaiahson of Jehoiada, Nathanthe prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s mighty men would not join Adonijah.
9 And Adonijahsacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves near the stone of Zoheleth,1:9 Or the Serpent’s Stonewhich is next to En-rogel. He invited all his royal brothers and all the men of Judah who were servants of the king. 10 But he did not invite Nathanthe prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.
Nathan and Bathsheba before David
11 Then Nathansaid to Bathshebathe mother of Solomon, "Have you not heard that Adonijahson of Haggithhas become king, and our lord Daviddoes not know it? 12 Now please, come and let me advise you. Save your own life and the life of your son Solomon. 13 Go at once to King Davidand say, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear to your maidservant, "Surely your son Solomonwill reign after me, and he will sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijahbecome king?’ 14 Then, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words."
15 So Bathshebawent to see the king in his bedroom. Since the king was very old, Abishagthe Shunammite was serving him. 16 And Bathshebabowed down in homage to the king, who asked, "What is your desire?"
17 "My lord," she replied, "you yourself swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God: ‘Surely your son Solomonwill reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’ 18 But now, behold, Adonijahhas become king, and you, my lord the king, do not know it. 19 And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as Abiatharthe priest and Joabthe commander of the army. But he has not invited your servant Solomon. 20 And as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you to tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 21 Otherwise, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomonwill be counted as criminals."
22 And just then, while Bathsheba was still speaking with the king, Nathanthe prophet arrived. 23 So the king was told, "Nathanthe prophet is here." And Nathanwent in and bowed facedown before the king.
24 "My lord the king," said Nathan, "did you say, ‘Adonijahwill reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’? 25 For today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders1:25 Hebrew; LXX Joab the commanderof the army, and Abiatharthe priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ 26 But me your servant he has not invited, nor Zadokthe priest, nor Benaiahson of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon. 27 Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?"
David Renews His Oath to Bathsheba
28 Then King Davidsaid, "Call in Bathshebafor me." So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
29 And the king swore an oath, saying, "As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress, 30 I will carry out this very day exactly what I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel: Surely your son Solomonwill reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place."
31 Bathsheba bowed facedown in homage to the king and said, "May my lord King Davidlive forever!"
Solomon Anointed King
32 Then King Davidsaid, "Call in for me Zadokthe priest, Nathanthe prophet, and Benaiahson of Jehoiada." So they came before the king.
33 "Take my servants with you," said the king. "Set my son Solomonon my own mule and take him down to Gihon. 34 There Zadokthe priest and Nathanthe prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ 35 Then you shall go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. For I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah."
36 "Amen," replied Benaiahson of Jehoiada. "May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it. 37 Just as the LORD was with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomonand make his throne even greater than that of my lord King David."
38 Then Zadokthe priest, Nathanthe prophet, and Benaiahson of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomonon King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon. 39 Zadokthe priest took the horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the ram’s horn, and all the people proclaimed, "Long live King Solomon!"
40 All the people followed him, playing flutes and rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth was split by the sound.
Adonijah Learns of Solomon’s Kingship
41 Now Adonijahand all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. "Why is the city in such a loud uproar?" asked Joab.
42 As he was speaking, suddenly Jonathanthe son of Abiatharthe priest arrived. "Come in," said Adonijah, "for you are a man of valor. You must be bringing good news."
43 "Not at all," Jonathanreplied. "Our lord King Davidhas made Solomonking. 44 And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadokthe priest, Nathanthe prophet, and Benaiahson of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s mule. 45 Zadokthe priest and Nathanthe prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
46 Moreover, Solomonhas taken his seat on the royal throne.
47 The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomonmore famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’
And the king has bowed in worship on his bed, 48 saying, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel! Today He has provided one1:48 LXX one of my offspringto sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen it.’"
49 At this, all the guests of Adonijaharose in terror and scattered. 50 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to take hold of the horns of the altar.
51 It was reported to Solomon: "Behold, Adonijahfears King Solomon, and he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomonfirst swear to me not to put his servant to the sword.’"
52 And Solomonreplied, "If he is a man of character, not a single hair of his will fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he will die."
53 So King Solomonsummoned Adonijah down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who said to him, "Go to your home."
