1 Kings 1 (KJV)

Now king

and they covered

him with clothes,

but he gat no heat.

Wherefore his servants

said

unto him, Let there be sought

for my lord

the king

a young

virgin:

and let her stand

before

the king,

and let her cherish

him, and let her lie

in thy bosom,

that my lord

the king

may get heat.

And the damsel

was very

fair,

and cherished

the king,

and ministered

to him: but the king

knew

her not.

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.

But Nathan

the prophet,

and Benaiah,

and the mighty men,

and Solomon

his brother,

he called

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.

and get thee in

unto

king

David,

and say

unto

him, Didst not

thou,

my lord,

O king,

David.

And all

came up

after

him, and the people

piped

with pipes,

and rejoiced

with great

joy,

so that the earth

rent

with the sound

of them.

And Adonijah

and all

the guests

that

were with

him heard

it as they

had made an end

of eating.

And when Joab

heard

the sound

of the trumpet,

he said,

Wherefore

is this noise

of the city

being in an uproar?

And Jonathan

answered

and said

to Adonijah,

Verily

our lord

king

David

hath made Solomon

king.

And also

Solomon

sitteth

the throne

of the kingdom.

And also

thus

said

the king,

Blessed

be the Lord

God

of Israel,

which

hath given

one to sit

my throne

this day,

even seeing

it.

And all

the guests

that

were with Adonijah

were afraid,

and rose up,

and went

every man

his way.

And it was told

saying,

Solomon:

he hath caught hold

on the horns

of the altar,

saying,
