01 : 01 . Now king <04428 +melek > David <01732 +David > was

01 : 02 Wherefore his servants <05650 +<ebed > said <00559

him ] .
01 : 08 But Zadok <06659 +Tsadowq > the priest <03548 +kohen > ,

Adonijah <00138 +>Adoniyah > .
01 : 09 And Adonijah <00138 +>Adoniyah > slew <02076 +zabach >
sheep <06629 +tso>n > andoxen <01241 +baqar > and fat <04806

why <04069 +madduwa< > then doth Adonijah <00138 +>Adoniyah >
