And he gat him charettes and horsemen, and fyftie men to runne before him. 6 And his father for his time would not displease him, to say why hast thou done so? And he was a very goodly man: and his mother bare him next after Absalom. 7 And he toke counsell at Ioab the sonne of Zaruia, and at Abiathar the priest: and they helped forward Adonia: 8 But Sadoc the priest, Banaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, Nathan the prophete, Semei, and Rei, and the men of might which were with Dauid, they were not with Adonia. 9 And Adonia sacrificed sheepe, and oxen, and fat cattel, by the stone of Zoheleth, whiche is by the well of Rogel, and called all his brethren the kinges sonnes, and all the men of Iuda the kinges seruauntes: 10 But Nathan the prophete, and Banaiah, and the mightie men, and Solomon his brother he called not. 11 Wherfore Nathan spake vnto Bethsabe the mother of Solomon, saying: Hast thou not hearde that Adonia the sonne of Haggith doth raigne, and Dauid our lorde knoweth it not? 12 Nowe therfore come, and I will geue thee counsell howe to saue thyne owne lyfe, and the lyfe of thy sonne Solomon. 13 Go and get thee in vnto king Dauid, & say vnto him: Diddest not thou my lorde O king, sweare vnto thy handmayde, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy sonne shall raigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my seate? why is then Adonia king? 14 Beholde, whyle thou yet talkest there with the king, I wil come in after thee, and confirme thy wordes. 15 And Bethsabe went in vnto the king into the chamber: And the king was very olde, and Abisag the Sunamite ministred vnto the king. 16 And Bethsabe stouped & made obeysaunce vnto the king: And the king sayd, What is thy matter? 17 She aunswered: My lorde, thou swarest by the Lorde thy God vnto thine handmayde saying Assuredly Solomon thy sonne shall raigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my seate. 18 And beholde, nowe is Adonia king, and thou my lorde the king knowest it not.
  • 1 Kgs 2:13-25 : 13 And Adonia the sonne of Haggith came to Bethsabe the mother of Solomon, and she sayde: Comest thou peaceably? And he sayde, peaceably. 14 He sayde moreouer: I haue somwhat to say vnto thee. She sayd: Say on. 15 And he sayd: Thou knowest that the kingdome was myne, & that all Israel set their faces on me, that I shoulde raigne: howbeit, the kingdome is turned away, and geuen to my brother: for it is appoynted him of the Lorde. 16 And nowe I aske a petition of thee, deny me not. And she sayde vnto him: Say on. 17 And he said: Speake I pray thee, vnto Solomo the king (for he wil not say thee nay) that he geue me Abisag the Sunamite to wyfe. 18 And Bethsabe sayd: Wel, I wil speake for thee vnto the king. 19 Bethsabe therfore went vnto king Solomon, to speake vnto him for Adonia: And the king rose vp to meete her, and bowed him selfe vnto her, and sate hym downe on his seate, & there was a seate set for the kinges mother, & she sate on his right syde. 20 Then she sayd: I desire a litle petition of thee, I pray thee say me not nay. And the king sayd vnto her: Aske on, my mother, for I wil not say thee nay. 21 She sayde: Let Abisag the Sunamite be geuen to Adonia thy brother to wyfe. 22 And king Solomon aunswered and sayde vnto his mother: Why doest thou aske Abisag the Sunamite for Adonia? aske for him the kingdome also: for he is myne elder brother, and hath for him Abiathar the priest, and Ioab the sonne of Zaruia. 23 Then king Solomon sware by the Lord, saying: God do so and so to me, if Adonia haue not spoken this worde against his owne lyfe. 24 Nowe therefore, as the Lorde lyueth, whiche hath ordeyned me, and set me on the seate of Dauid my father, and made me an house as he promised, Adonia shall dye this day. 25 And king Solomon sent by the hande of Banaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and he smote him that he died.
