11:001:003 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of
           Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the
           king.

11:001:004 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and
           ministered to him:  but the king knew her not.

11:001:005 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.

11:001:006 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying,
           Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and
           his mother bare him after Absalom.

11:001:007 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with
           Abiathar the priest:  and they following Adonijah helped him.

11:001:008 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and
           Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men
           which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

11:001:009 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone
           of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren
           the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s servants: 

11:001:010 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and
           Solomon his brother, he called not.

11:001:011 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?

11:001:012 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.

11:001:013 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?

11:001:014 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also
           will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

11:001:015 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber:  and the
           king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto
           the king.

11:001:016 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king.  And the
           king said, What wouldest thou?

11:001:017 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the lord thy
           God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son
           shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

11:001:018 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king,
           thou knowest it not:
