and they covered <3680 kacah > him with clothes <0899 beged > ,

but he gat no <3808 lo> > heat <3179 yacham > .

: 2 Wherefore his servants <5650 <ebed > said <0559 >amar >

unto him , Let there be sought <1245 baqash > for my lord <0113

>adown > the king <4428 melek > a young <5291 na<arah > virgin

paniym > the king <4428 melek > , and let her cherish <5532

cakan > him , and let her lie <7901 shakab > in thy bosom <2436

cheyq > , that my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >

may get heat <2552 chamam > .

brought <0935 bow> > her to the king <4428 melek > .

fair <3303 yapheh > , and cherished <5532 cakan > the king

<4428 melek > , and ministered <8334 sharath > to him : but the

king <4428 melek > knew <3045 yada< > her not .

: 5 . Then Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son <1121 ben > of

Haggith <2294 Chaggiyith > exalted <5375 nasa> > himself ,

saying <0559 >amar > , I will be king <4427 malak > : and he

prepared <6213 <asah > him chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen

<6571 parash > , and fifty <2572 chamishshiym > men <0376 >iysh

any time <3117 yowm > in saying <0559 >amar > , Why <4069

madduwa< > hast thou done <6213 <asah > so <3602 kakah > ? and

priest <3548 kohen > : and they following <0310 >achar >

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > helped <5826 <azar > [ him ] .

: 8 But Zadok <6659 Tsadowq > the priest <3548 kohen > , and

Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111

Yowyada< > , and Nathan <5416 Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy>

the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men which <0834 >aher > [ belonged ]

to David <1732 David > , were not with Adonijah <0138

>Adoniyah > .

: 9 And Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > slew <2076 zabach > sheep

<6629 tso>n > andoxen <1241 baqar > and fat <4806 m@riy> >

cattle <4806 m@riy> > by the stone <68> of Zoheleth , which

called <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > his brethren <0251 >ach >

the king s <4428 melek > sons <1121 ben > , and all <3605 kol >

the men <0582 >enowsh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > the king s

<4428 melek > servants <5650 <ebed > :

and Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > , and the mighty <1368 gibbowr >

men , and Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > his brother <0251 >ach > ,

he called <7121 qara> > not .

: 11 . Wherefore Nathan <5416 Nathan > spake <0559 >amar >

unto Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > the mother <0517 >em > of

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , saying <0559 >amar > , Hast thou

not heard <8085 shama< > that Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > the son

<3045 yada< > [ it ] not ?

: 12 Now <6258 <attah > therefore come <3212 yalak > , let me ,

I pray <4994 na> > thee , give thee counsel <6098 <etsah > ,

that thou mayest save <4422 malat > thine own life <5315 nephesh

: 13 Go <3212 yalak > and get <0935 bow> > thee in unto king

<4428 melek > David <1732 David > , and say <0559 >amar > unto

him , Didst not thou , my lord <0113 >adown > , O king <4428

<0310 >achar > me , and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my

throne <3678 kicce> > ? why <4069 madduwa< > then doth Adonijah

<0138 >Adoniyah > reign <4427 malak > ?

: 14 Behold <2009 hinneh > , while thou yet <5750 <owd >

talkest <1696 dabar > there <8033 sham > with the king <4428

melek > , I also will come <0935 bow> > in after <0310 >achar >

thee , and confirm <4390 male> > thy words <1697 dabar > .

: 15 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > went <0935 bow> > in

unto the king <4428 melek > into the chamber <2315 cheder > :

and the king <4428 melek > was very <3966 m@<od > old <2204

zaqen > ; and Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth >

ministered <8334 sharath > unto the king <4428 melek > .

: 16 And Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > bowed <6915 qadad > ,

and did obeisance <7812 shachah > unto the king <4428 melek > .

And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > , What <4100 mah

: 17 And she said <0559 >amar > unto him , My lord <0113

>adown > , thou swarest <7650 shaba< > by the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > unto thine handmaid <0519

Sh@lomoh > thy son <1121 ben > shall reign <4427 malak > after

<0310 >achar > me , and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon my

throne <3678 kicce> > .

: 18 And now <6258 <attah > , behold <2009 hinneh > ,

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > reigneth <4427 malak > ; and now ,

my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > , thou knowest

<3045 yada< > [ it ] not :

fat <4806 m@riy> > cattle <4806 m@riy> > and sheep <6629 tso>n >

in abundance <7230 rob > , and hath called <7121 qara> > all

<3605 kol > the sons <1121 ben > of the king <4428 melek > ,

and Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > , and Joab <3097

Yow>ab > the captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > :

but Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thy servant <5650 <ebed > hath he

not called <7121 qara> > .

: 20 And thou , my lord <0113 >adown > , O king <4428 melek >

Yisra>el > [ are ] upon thee , that thou shouldest tell <5046

nagad > them who <4310 miy > shall sit <3427 yashab > on <5921

<al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the

king <4428 melek > after <0310 >achar > him .

: 21 Otherwise it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass , when my

lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > shall sleep <7901

shakab > with his fathers <1> , that I and my son <1121 ben >

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > shall be counted offenders <2400

chatta> > .

talked <1696 dabar > with the king <4428 melek > , Nathan <5416

Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > also came <0935 bow> > in .

saying <0559 >amar > , Behold <2009 hinneh > Nathan <5416

Nathan > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > . And when he was come

he bowed <7812 shachah > himself before <6440 paniym > the king

<4428 melek > with his face <0639 >aph > to the ground <0776

after <0310 >achar > me , and he shall sit <3427 yashab > upon

, and thy servant <5650 <ebed > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > ,

hath he not called <7121 qara> > .

shewed <3045 yada< > [ it ] unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,

who <4310 miy > should sit <3427 yashab > on the throne <3678

kicce> > of my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > after

Bathsheba <1339 Bath - Sheba< > . And she came <0935 bow> >

forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > : seven <7651

that the kingdom <4410 m@luwkah > was mine , and [ that ] all

that he give <5414 nathan > me Abishag <49> the Shunammite <7767

Well <2896 towb > ; I will speak <1696 dabar > for thee unto

the king <4428 melek > .

king <4428 melek > rose <6965 quwm > up to meet <7125 qir>ah >

her , and bowed <7812 shachah > himself unto her , and sat

and caused a seat <3678 kicce> > to be set <7760 suwm > for the

king s <4428 melek > mother <0517 >em > ; and she sat <3427

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > thy brother <0251 >ach > to wife

: 22 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > answered

, And why <4100 mah > dost thou ask <7592 sha>al > Abishag <49>

the Shunammite <7767 Shuwnammiyth > for Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah

Zeruiah <6870 Ts@ruwyah > .

: 23 Then king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sware

: 24 Now <6258 <attah > therefore , [ as ] the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > , which <0834 >aher > hath

established <3559 kuwn > me , and set <3427 yashab > me on

an house <1004 bayith > , as he promised <1696 dabar > ,

Adonijah <0138 >Adoniyah > shall be put to death <4191 muwth >

this day <3117 yowm > .

: 25 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971

shalach > by the hand <3027 yad > of Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the

son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111 Yowyada< > ; and he fell

: 26 . And unto Abiathar <54> the priest <3548 kohen > said

<0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > , Get <3212 yalak > thee

to Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > , unto thine own fields <7704

been afflicted <6031 <anah > in all <3605 kol > wherein <0834

: 27 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > thrust <1644 garash > out

Abiathar <54> from being <1961 hayah > priest <3548 kohen > unto

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; that he might fulfil <4390 male> >

the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , which

<0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > the

house <1004 bayith > of Eli <5941 <Eliy > in Shiloh <7887

Shiyloh > .

: 28 Then tidings <8052 sh@muw<ah > came <0935 bow> > to Joab

And Joab <3097 Yow>ab > fled <5127 nuwc > unto the tabernacle

<0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and caught <2388

chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on the horns <7161 qeren > of the

: 29 And it was told <5046 nagad > king <4428 melek > Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > was fled <5127 nuwc >

unto the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;

and , behold <2009 hinneh > , [ he is ] by the altar <4196

Benaiah <1141 B@nayah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiada <3111

he answered <6030 <anah > me .

: 31 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,

Do <6213 <asah > as he hath said <1696 dabar > , and fall <6293

paga< > upon him , and bury <6912 qabar > him ; that thou

mayest take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the innocent <2600

Yow>ab > shed <8210 shaphak > , from me , and from the house

: 32 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall return <7725 shuwb >

his blood <1818 dam > upon his own head <7218 ro>sh > , who

<4310 miy > fell <6293 paga< > upon two <8147 sh@nayim > men

captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > of Judah <3063

they will turn <5186 natah > away your heart <3824 lebab > after

Sh@lomoh > clave <1692 dabaq > unto these <1992 hem > in love

<0160 >ahabah > .

: 3 And he had <1961 hayah > seven <7651 sheba< > hundred <3967

<6370 piylegesh > : and his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186

: 4 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when <6256 <eth >

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > was old <2209 ziqnah > , [ that ]

his wives <0802 >ishshah > turned <5186 natah > away his heart

<3824 lebab > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods

<1732 David > his father <1> .

and went not fully <4390 male> > after <0310 >achar > the LORD

: 7 Then did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > build <1129 banah > an

high <1116 bamah > place for Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > , the

abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > , in the

abomination <8251 shiqquwts > of the children <1121 ben > of

Ammon <5983 <Ammown > .

: 8 And likewise <3651 ken > did <6213 <asah > he for all <3605

burnt <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > and sacrificed <2076

: 9 . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was angry <0599 >anaph >

with Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , because <3588 kiy > his heart

<3824 lebab > was turned <5186 natah > from the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,

which had appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto him twice <6471 pa<am > ,

<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah > .

: 11 Wherefore <4100 mah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559

my covenant <1285 b@riyth > and my statutes <2708 chuqqah > ,

will surely rend <7167 qara< > the kingdom <4467 mamlakah > from

thee , and will give <5414 nathan > it to thy servant <5650

: 14 . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > stirred <6965 quwm > up an

adversary <7854 satan > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > , Hadad

<1908 Hadad > the Edomite <0130 >Edomiy > : he [ was ] of the

king s <4428 melek > seed <2233 zera< > in Edom <0123 >Edom > .

: 15 For it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when David <1732

David > was in Edom <0123 >Edom > , and Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the

captain <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was gone <5927

after he had smitten <5221 nakah > every <3605 kol > male <2145

cut <3772 karath > off every <3605 kol > male <2145 zakar > in

Edom <0123 >Edom > : )

: 17 That Hadad <1908 Hadad > fled <1272 barach > , he and

certain <0582 >enowsh > Edomites of his father s <1> servants

<4714 Mitsrayim > ; which gave <5414 nathan > him an house

<1004 bayith > , and appointed <0559 >amar > him victuals <3899

lechem > , and gave <5414 nathan > him land <0776 >erets > .

: 19 And Hadad <1908 Hadad > found <4672 matsa> > great <3966

m@<od > favour <2580 chen > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of

Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > , so that he gave <5414 nathan > him to

wife <0802 >ishshah > the sister <0269 >achowth > of his own

wife <0802 >ishshah > , the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes

<8472 Tachp@neyc > the queen <1377 g@biyrah > .

: 20 And the sister <0269 >achowth > of Tahpenes <8472

Tachp@neyc > bare <3205 yalad > him Genubath <1592 G@nubath >

his son <1121 ben > , whom Tahpenes <8472 Tachp@neyc > weaned

<1580 gamal > in Pharaoh s <6547 Par<oh > house <1004 bayith > :

household <1004 bayith > among <8432 tavek > the sons <1121 ben

: 21 And when Hadad <1908 Hadad > heard <8085 shama< > in Egypt

<4714 Mitsrayim > that David <1732 David > slept <7901 shakab >

with his fathers <1> , and that Joab <3097 Yow>ab > the captain

<8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > was dead <4191 muwth > ,

Hadad <1908 Hadad > said <0559 >amar > to Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh >

, Let me depart <7971 shalach > , that I may go <3212 yalak >

to mine own country <0776 >erets > .

: 22 Then Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > said <0559 >amar > unto him ,

But what <4100 mah > hast thou lacked <2638 chacer > with me ,

that , behold <2009 hinneh > , thou seekest <1245 baqash > to

go <3212 yalak > to thine own country <0776 >erets > ? And he

answered <0559 >amar > , Nothing <3808 lo> > : howbeit let me

go <7971 shalach > in any wise .

: 23 And God <0430 >elohiym > stirred <6965 quwm > him up [

another ] adversary <7854 satan > , Rezon <7331 R@zown > the

son <1121 ben > of Eliadah <0450 >Elyada< > , which <0834 >aher

him , and became <1961 hayah > captain <8269 sar > over a band

: 25 And he was an adversary <7854 satan > to Israel <3478

Yisra>el > all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of Solomon

<8010 Sh@lomoh > , beside <0854 >eth > the mischief <7451 ra< >

: 26 . And Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of

Nebat <5028 N@bat > , an Ephrathite <0673 >Ephrathiy > of

Zereda , Solomon s <8010 Sh@lomoh > servant <5650 <ebed > ,

whose mother s <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [ was ] Zeruah ,

a widow <0490 >almanah > woman <0802 >ishshah > , even he

lifted <7311 ruwm > up [ his ] hand <3027 yad > against the

king <4428 melek > .

: 27 And this <2088 zeh > [ was ] the cause <1697 dabar >

that he lifted <7311 ruwm > up [ his ] hand <3027 yad >

against the king <4428 melek > : Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > built

<1129 banah > Millo <4407 millow> > , [ and ] repaired <5462

cagar > the breaches <6556 perets > of the city <5892 <iyr > of

David <1732 David > his father <1> .

: 28 And the man <0376 >iysh > Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > [ was

Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > seeing <7200 ra>ah > the young <5288

Take <3947 laqach > thee ten <6235 <eser > pieces <7168 qera< > :

I will add <3254 yacaph > to your yoke <5923 <ol > : my father

: 15 Wherefore <4100 mah > the king <4428 melek > hearkened

<8085 shama< > not unto the people <5971 <am > ; for the cause

the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > unto this <2088

Israel <3478Yisra>el > heard <8085 shama< > that Jeroboam <3379

Yarob<am > was come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > , that

they sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > him unto the

congregation <5712 <edah > , and made him king <4427 malak >

to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > the son <1121 ben > of Solomon

Shechem <7927 Sh@kem > in mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669

go again <7725 shuwb > to Rehoboam <7346 R@chab<am > king <4428

went <3212 yalak > [ to worship ] before <6440 paniym > the

when they said <0559 >amar > , [ He is ] not [ there ] ;

he took an oath <7650 shaba< > of the kingdom <4467 mamlakah >

Behold <2009 hinneh > , Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > [ is here ] .

slay <2026 harag > me : but I thy servant <5650 <ebed > fear

<3372 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from my youth <5271

: 13 Was it not told <5046 nagad > my lord <0113 >adown > what

I did <6213 <asah > when Jezebel <0348 >Iyzebel > slew <2026

harag > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

how I hid <2244> an hundred <3967 me>ah > men <0376 >iysh > of

Behold <2009 hinneh > , Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > [ is here ] :

<7125 qir>ah > Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > , and told <5046 nagad >

him : and Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > went <3212 yalak > to meet <7125

<0256 >Ach>ab > said <0559 >amar > unto him , [ Art ] thou he

that troubleth <5916 <akar > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?

: 20 So Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > sent <7971 shalach > unto all

<3605 kol > the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,

and gathered <6908 qabats > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >

How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > halt <6452 pacach > ye between

<anah > him not a word <1697 dabar > .

: 22 Then said <0559 >amar > Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > unto the

people <5971 <am > , I , [ even ] I only <0905 bad > ,

remain <3498 yathar > a prophet <5030 nabiy> > of the LORD <3068

people <5971 <am > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >

, It is well <2896 towb > spoken <1697 dabar > .

: 25 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > said <0559 >amar > unto the

prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Baal <1168 Ba<al > , Choose <0977

: 26 And they took <3947 laqach > the bullock <6499 par > which

was given <5414 nathan > them , and they dressed <6213 <asah >

[ it ] , and called <7121 qara> > on the name <8034 shem > of

Baal <1168 Ba<al > from morning <1242 boqer > even until <5704

answered <6030 <anah > . And they leaped <6452 pacach > upon

the altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > was made <6213

: 27 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at noon <6672 tsohar > ,

that Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > mocked <2048 hathal > them , and

said <0559 >amar > , Cry <7121 qara> > aloud : for he [ is ]

: 31 And Elijah <0452 >Eliyah > took <3947 laqach > twelve

: 33 And he put <6186 <arak > the wood <6086 <ets > in order

<6186 <arak > , and cut <5408 nathach > the bullock <6499 par >

in pieces , and laid <7760 suwm > [ him ] on <5921 <al > the

Go <3212 yalak > , return <7725 shuwb > on thy way <1870 derek

[ there ] a wall <2346 chowmah > fell <5307 naphal > upon
