Adonijah
«Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not? / Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.»
«Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.»
«Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.»
«Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign? / Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.»
«Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.»
«Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.»
«The chief of the people; Parosh, Pahathmoab, Elam, Zatthu, Bani, / Bunni, Azgad, Bebai, / Adonijah, Bigvai, Adin, / Ater, Hizkijah, Azzur, / Hodijah, Hashum, Bezai, / Hariph, Anathoth, Nebai, / Magpiash, Meshullam, Hezir, / Meshezabeel, Zadok, Jaddua, / Pelatiah, Hanan, Anaiah, / Hoshea, Hananiah, Hashub, / Hallohesh, Pileha, Shobek, / Rehum, Hashabnah, Maaseiah, / And Ahijah, Hanan, Anan, / Malluch, Harim, Baanah.»
«Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess: / The third, Absalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur: the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith: / The fifth, Shephatiah of Abital: the sixth, Ithream by Eglah his wife.»
«Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.»
