11:002:009 Now therefore hold him not guiltless:
for thou art a wise man,
and
knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his
hoar
head
bring thou down to the grave with blood.
11:002:010 So David slept with his fathers, and was
buried in the city of
David.
11:002:011 And the days that David reigned over Israel
were forty years:
seven
years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years
reigned
he in Jerusalem.
11:002:012 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David
his father; and his
kingdom
was established greatly.
11:002:013 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to
Bathsheba the mother
of
Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably?
And he said,
Peaceably.
11:002:014 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say
unto thee. And she
said,
Say on.
11:002:015 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom
was mine, and that
all
Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign:
howbeit
the
kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s:
for
it
was his from the lord.
11:002:016 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny
me not. And she said
unto
him, Say on.
11:002:017 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon
the king, (for
he
will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the
Shunammite
to wife.
11:002:018 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
11:002:019 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.
11:002:020 Then she said, I desire one small petition
of thee; I pray
thee,
say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask
on, my
mother:
for I will not say thee nay.
11:002:021 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite
be given to Adonijah
thy
brother to wife.
11:002:022 And king Solomon answered and said unto
his mother, And why
dost
thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for
him
the
kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for
him,
and
for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
11:002:023 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.
11:002:024 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.
