| [1]Now kingH4428 DavidH1732 was oldH2204[H8804] and strickenH935[H8804] in yearsH3117; and they coveredH3680[H8762] him with clothesH899, but he gat no heatH3179.[H8799] |
[1]And kyng Dauid wax eld, and hadde ful many daies of age; and whanne he was hilid with clothis, he was not maad hoot. |
| [2]Wherefore his servantsH5650 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Let there be soughtH1245[H8762] for my lordH113 the kingH4428 a youngH5291 virginH1330: and let her standH5975[H8804] beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and let her cherishH5532[H8802] him, and let her lieH7901[H8804] in thy bosomH2436, that my lordH113 the kingH4428 may get heatH2552.[H8804] |
[2]Therfor hise seruauntis seiden to hym, Seke we to oure lord the kyng a yong wexynge virgyn; and stonde sche bifor the kyng, and nursche sche hym, and slepe in his bosum, and make hoot oure lord the kyng. |
| [3]So they soughtH1245[H8762] for a fairH3303 damselH5291 throughout all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478, and foundH4672[H8799] AbishagH49 a ShunammiteH7767, and broughtH935[H8686] her to the kingH4428. |
[3]Therfor thei souyten a yong wexyng virgyn, fair in alle the coostis of Israel; and thei founden Abisag of Sunam, and thei brouyten hir to the kyng. |
| [4]And the damselH5291 was veryH3966 fairH3303, and cherishedH5532[H8802] the kingH4428, and ministeredH8334[H8762] to him: but the kingH4428 knewH3045 her notH8804. |
[4]Forsothe the damysel was ful fair, and sche slepte with the kyng, and mynystride to hym; forsothe the king knew not hir fleischli. |
| [5]Then AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 exaltedH4984[H8693] himself, sayingH559[H8800], I will be kingH4427[H8799]: and he preparedH6213[H8799] him chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323[H8801] before himH6440. |
[5]Sotheli Adonye, sone of Agith, was reisid, and seide, Y schal regne. And he made to hym a chare, and knyytis, and fifti men, that runnen bifor hym. |
| [6]And his fatherH1 had not displeasedH6087[H8804] him at any timeH3117 in sayingH559[H8800], Why hast thou done soH6213[H8804]? and he also was a veryH3966 goodlyH2896[H8389] man; and his mother bareH3205[H8804] him afterH310 AbsalomH53. |
[6]Nether his fadir repreuyde hym ony tyme, and seide, Whi `didist thou this? Forsothe also he was ful fair, the secounde child aftir Absolon; and his word was with Joab, |
| [7]And he conferredH1697 with JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and with AbiatharH54 the priestH3548: and they followingH310 AdonijahH138 helpedH5826 himH8799. |
[7]sone of Saruye, and with `Abiathar, preest, that helpiden the partis of Adonye. |
| [8]But ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and ShimeiH8096, and ReiH7472, and the mighty menH1368 which belonged to DavidH1732, were not with AdonijahH138. |
[8]Sotheli Sadoch, the preest, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Nathan, the prophete, and Semey, and Cerethi, and Ferethi, and al the strengthe of the oost of Dauid, weren not with Adonye. |
| [9]And AdonijahH138 slewH2076[H8799] sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and fat cattleH4806 by the stoneH68 of ZohelethH2120, which is byH681 EnrogelH5883, and calledH7121[H8799] all his brethrenH251 the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and all the menH582 of JudahH3063 the king'sH4428 servantsH5650: |
[9]Therfor whanne rammes weren offrid, and caluys, and alle fatte thingis, bisidis the stoon Zoelech, that was nyy the welle of Rogel, Adonye clepide alle hise britheren, sones of the kyng, and alle the men of Juda, seruauntis of the kyng. |
| [10]But NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141, and the mighty menH1368, and SolomonH8010 his brotherH251, he calledH7121 notH8804. |
[10]Sotheli `he clepide not Nathan, the profete, and Banaie, and alle stronge men, and Salomon, his brothir. |
| [11]Wherefore NathanH5416 spakeH559[H8799] unto BathshebaH1339 the motherH517 of SolomonH8010, sayingH559[H8800], Hast thou not heardH8085[H8804] that AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 doth reignH4427[H8804], and DavidH1732 our lordH113 knowethH3045 it notH8804? |
[11]Therfor Nathan seide to Bersabee, modir of Salomon, Whether thou herdist, that Adonye, sone of Agith, regnede, and oure lord Dauid knoweth not this? |
| [12]Now therefore comeH3212[H8798], let me, I pray thee, give thee counselH3289[H8799][H6098], that thou mayest saveH4422[H8761] thine own lifeH5315, and the lifeH5315 of thy sonH1121 SolomonH8010. |
[12]Now therfor come thou, take thou counsel of me, and saue thi lijf, and of Salomon thi sone. |
| [13]GoH3212[H8798] and get thee inH935[H8798] unto kingH4428 DavidH1732, and sayH559[H8804] unto him, Didst not thou, my lordH113, O kingH4428, swearH7650[H8738] unto thine handmaidH519, sayingH559[H8800], AssuredlyH3588 SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427[H8799] afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427[H8799] upon my throneH3678? why then doth AdonijahH138 reignH4427?[H8804] |
[13]Go thou, and entre to kyng Dauid, and seie thou to hym, Whether not thou, my lord the kyng, hast swore to me, thin handmaide, and seidist, that Salomon thi sone schal regne aftir me, and he schal sitte in my trone? |
| [14]Behold, while thou yet talkestH1696[H8764] there with the kingH4428, I also will come inH935[H8799] afterH310 thee, and confirmH4390[H8765] thy wordsH1697. |
[14]Whi therfor regneth Adonye? And yit while thou schalt speke there with the kyng, Y schal come aftir thee, and `Y schal fille thi wordis. |
| [15]And BathshebaH1339 went inH935[H8799] unto the kingH4428 into the chamberH2315: and the kingH4428 was veryH3966 oldH2204[H8804]; and AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 ministeredH8334[H8764] unto the kingH4428. |
[15]Therfor Bersabee entride to the kyng in the closet; forsothe the kyng was ful eeld, and Abisag of Sunam `mynystride to hym. |
| [16]And BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915[H8799], and did obeisanceH7812[H8691] unto the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, What wouldest thouH8799? |
[16]Bersabee bowide hir silf, and worschipide the kyng; to whom the kyng seide, What wolt thou to thee? |
| [17]And she saidH559[H8799] unto him, My lordH113, thou swarestH7650[H8738] by the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 unto thine handmaidH519, saying, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427[H8799] afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427[H8799] upon my throneH3678. |
[17]And sche answeride, and seide, My lord the kyng, thou hast swore to thin handmaide bi thi Lord God, Salomon thy sone schal regne aftir me, and he schal sitte in my trone; |
| [18]And now, behold, AdonijahH138 reignethH4427[H8804]; and now, my lordH113 the kingH4428, thou knowestH3045 it notH8804: |
[18]and lo! Adonye hath regnede now, `while thou, my lord the kyng, knowist not; |
| [19]And he hath slainH2076[H8799] oxenH7794 and fat cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121[H8799] all the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635: but SolomonH8010 thy servantH5650 hath he not calledH7121.[H8804] |
[19]he hath slayn oxis, and alle fatte thingis, and ful many rammes; and he clepide alle the sones of the king, also `Abiathar preest, and Joab, the prince of chyualri; but he clepide not Salomon, thi seruaunt. |
| [20]And thou, my lordH113, O kingH4428, the eyesH5869 of all IsraelH3478 are upon thee, that thou shouldest tellH5046[H8687] them who shall sitH3427[H8799] on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 after himH310. |
[20]Netheles, my lord the kyng, the iyen of al Israel biholden in to thee, that thou schewe to hem, who owith to sitte in thi trone, my lord the kyng, aftir thee; |
| [21]Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall sleepH7901[H8800] with his fathersH1, that I and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 shall be counted offendersH2400. |
[21]and it schal be, whanne my lord the kyng hath slepte with hise fadris, Y and my sone Salomon schulen be synneris. |
| [22]And, lo, while she yet talkedH1696[H8764] with the kingH4428, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 also came inH935.[H8804] |
[22]`While sche spak yit with the king, Nathan, the prophete, cam. |
| [23]And they toldH5046[H8686] the kingH4428, sayingH559[H8800], Behold NathanH5416 the prophetH5030. And when he was come inH935[H8799] beforeH6440 the kingH4428, he bowedH7812[H8691] himself before the kingH4428 with his faceH639 to the groundH776. |
[23]And thei telden to the kyng, and seiden, Nathan, the prophete, is present. And whanne he hadde entrid in the siyt of the kyng, and hadde worschipide hym lowli to erthe, |
| [24]And NathanH5416 saidH559[H8799], My lordH113, O kingH4428, hast thou saidH559[H8804], AdonijahH138 shall reignH4427[H8799] afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427[H8799] upon my throneH3678? |
[24]Nathan seide, My lord the kyng, seidist thou, Adonye regne aftir me, and sitte he on my trone? |
| [25]For he is gone downH3381[H8804] this dayH3117, and hath slainH2076[H8799] oxenH7794 and fat cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121[H8799] all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and the captainsH8269 of the hostH6635, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548; and, behold, they eatH398[H8802] and drinkH8354[H8802] beforeH6440 him, and sayH559[H8799], God saveH2421[H8799] kingH4428 AdonijahH138. |
[25]For he cam doun to dai, and offride oxis, and fatte thingis, and ful many wetheris; and he clepide alle the sones of the kyng, also Abiathar, preest; and whanne thei eten, and drunken bifor hym, and seiden, Kyng Adonye lyue; |
| [26]But me, even me thy servantH5650, and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and thy servantH5650 SolomonH8010, hath he not calledH7121.[H8804] |
[26]he clepide not me, thi seruaunt, and Sadoch, preest, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Salomon, thi sone. |
| [27]Is this thingH1697 doneH1961[H8738] by my lordH113 the kingH4428, and thou hast not shewedH3045[H8689] it unto thy servantH5650, who should sitH3427[H8799] on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 after himH310? |
[27]Whether this word yede out fro my lord the kyng, and thou schewidist not to me, thi seruaunt, who schulde sitte on the trone of my lord the king after hym? |
| [28]Then kingH4428 DavidH1732 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], CallH7121[H8798] me BathshebaH1339. And she cameH935[H8799] into the king'sH4428 presenceH6440, and stoodH5975[H8799] beforeH6440 the kingH4428. |
[28]And kyng Dauid answeride, and seide, Clepe ye Bersabee to me. And whanne sche hadde entrid bifor the kyng, and hadde stonde bifor hym, the kyng swoor, |
| [29]And the kingH4428 swareH7650[H8735], and saidH559[H8799], As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, that hath redeemedH6299[H8804] my soulH5315 out of all distressH6869, |
[29]and seide, The Lord lyueth, that delyueryde my lijf fro al angwisch; |
| [30]Even as I swareH7650[H8738] unto thee by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559[H8800], Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427[H8799] afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427[H8799] upon my throneH3678 in my stead; even so will I certainly doH6213[H8799] this dayH3117. |
[30]for as Y swore to thee bi the Lord God of Israel, and seide, Salomon, thi sone, schal regne after me, and he schal sitte on my trone for me, so Y schal do to dai. |
| [31]Then BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915[H8799] with her faceH639 to the earthH776, and did reverenceH7812[H8691] to the kingH4428, and saidH559[H8799], Let my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 liveH2421[H8799] for everH5769. |
[31]And Bersabee, with the cheer cast doun in to erthe, worschipide the kyng, and seide, My lord the kyng Dauid lyue with outen ende. |
| [32]And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799], CallH7121[H8798] me ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077. And they cameH935[H8799] beforeH6440 the kingH4428. |
[32]And kyng Dauid seide, Clepe ye Sadoch, the preest, to me, and Nathan, the prophete, and Banaie, sone of Joiada. And whanne thei hadden entrid bifor the kyng, |
| [33]The kingH4428 also saidH559[H8799] unto them, TakeH3947[H8798] with you the servantsH5650 of your lordH113, and cause SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to rideH7392[H8689] upon mine own muleH6506, and bring him downH3381[H8689] to GihonH1521: |
[33]the kyng seide to hem, Take with you the seruauntis of youre lord, and putte ye my sone Salomon on my mule, and lede ye hym in to Gyon. |
| [34]And let ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 anointH4886[H8804] him there kingH4428 over IsraelH3478: and blowH8628[H8804] ye with the trumpetH7782, and sayH559[H8804], God saveH2421[H8799] kingH4428 SolomonH8010. |
[34]And Sadoch, the preest, and Nathan, the profete, anoynte hym in to kyng on Israel and Juda; and ye schulen synge with a clarioun, and ye schulen seie, Lyue kyng Salomon! |
| [35]Then ye shall come upH5927[H8804] afterH310 him, that he may comeH935[H8804] and sitH3427[H8804] upon my throneH3678; for he shall be kingH4427[H8799] in my stead: and I have appointedH6680[H8765] him to be rulerH5057 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063. |
[35]Ye schulen stie aftir hym, and ye schulen come to Jerusalem; and he schal sitte on my trone, and he schal regne for me; and Y schal comaunde to hym, that he be duyk on Israel and on Juda. |
| [36]And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 answeredH6030[H8799] the kingH4428, and saidH559[H8799], AmenH543: the LORDH3068 GodH430 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 sayH559 so tooH8799. |
[36]And Banaie, sone of Joiada, answeride to the kyng, and seide, Amen, `that is, so be it, ether verili, ether feithfuli; so speke the Lord God of my lord the kyng. |
| [37]As the LORDH3068 hath been with my lordH113 the kingH4428, even so be he with SolomonH8010, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431[H8762] than the throneH3678 of my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732. |
[37]As the Lord was with my lord the kyng, so be he with Salomon, and make he the trone of Salomon heiyere than the trone of my lord the kyng Dauid. |
| [38]So ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, went downH3381[H8799], and caused SolomonH8010 to rideH7392[H8686] upon kingH4428 David'sH1732 muleH6506, and broughtH3212[H8686] him to GihonH1521. |
[38]Therfor Sadoch, the preest, yede doun, and Nathan, the prophete, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Cerethi, and Ferethi; and thei puttiden Salomon on the mule of Dauid, the kyng, and thei brouyten hym in to Gion. |

[39]And Sadoch, the preest, took an horn of oile of the tabernacle, and anoyntide Salomon; and thei sungen with a clarioun; and al the puple seide, Lyue kyng Salomon! |
| [40]And all the peopleH5971 came upH5927[H8799] afterH310 him, and the peopleH5971 pipedH2490[H8764] with pipesH2485, and rejoicedH8056 with greatH1419 joyH8057, so that the earthH776 rentH1234[H8735] with the sound of themH6963. |
[40]And al the multitude stiede after hym, and the puple of men syngynge with pipis, and `of men beynge glad with greet ioye, `stiede aftir hym; and the erthe sownede of the cry of hem. |
| [41]And AdonijahH138 and all the guestsH7121[H8803] that were with him heardH8085[H8799] it as they had made an endH3615[H8765] of eatingH398[H8800]. And when JoabH3097 heardH8085[H8799] the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559[H8799], Wherefore is this noiseH6963 of the cityH7151 being in an uproarH1993?[H8802] |
[41]Forsothe Adonye herde, and alle that weren clepid of hym to feeste; and thanne the feeste was endid. But also Joab seide, whanne the vois of trumpe was herd, What wole it to it silf the cry of the citee makynge noise? |

[42]Yit the while he spak, Jonathan, sone of Abiathar, the preest, cam; to whom Adonye seide, Entre thou, for thou art a strong man, and tellynge goode thingis. |
| [43]And JonathanH3129 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799] to AdonijahH138, VerilyH61 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 hath made SolomonH8010 kingH4427.[H8689] |
[43]And Jonathan answeride to Adonye, Nay; for oure lord the kyng Dauid hath ordeyned Salomon kyng; |

[44]and Dauid sente with Salomon Sadoch, the preest, and Nathan, the prophete, and Banaie, sone of Joiada, and Cerethi, and Ferethi; and thei puttiden Salomon on the mule of the kyng. |
| [45]And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886[H8799] him kingH4428 in GihonH1521: and they are come upH5927[H8799] from thence rejoicingH8056, so that the cityH7151 rang againH1949[H8735]. This is the noiseH6963 that ye have heardH8085.[H8804] |
[45]And Sadoch, the preest, and Nathan, the prophete, anoyntiden hym kyng in Gion; and thei camen doun fro thennus beynge glad, and the citee sownede; this is the vois which ye herden. |

| [49]And all the guestsH7121[H8803] that were with AdonijahH138 were afraidH2729[H8799], and rose upH6965[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799] every manH376 his wayH1870. |
[49]Therfor alle, that weren clepid of Adonye to feeste, weren aferd, and risiden, and ech man yede in to his weie. |
| [50]And AdonijahH138 fearedH3372[H8804] becauseH6440 of SolomonH8010, and aroseH6965[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799], and caught holdH2388[H8686] on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196. |
[50]Sotheli Adonye dredde Salomon, and roos, and yede in to the tabernacle of the Lord, and helde the horn of the auter. |
| [51]And it was toldH5046[H8714] SolomonH8010, sayingH559[H8800], Behold, AdonijahH138 fearethH3372[H8804] kingH4428 SolomonH8010: for, lo, he hath caught holdH270[H8804] on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196, sayingH559[H8800], Let kingH4428 SolomonH8010 swearH7650[H8735] unto me to dayH3117 that he will not slayH4191[H8686] his servantH5650 with the swordH2719. |
[51]And thei telden to Salomon, and seiden, Lo! Adonye dredith the kyng Salomon, and holdith the horn of the auter, and seith, Kyng Salomon swere to me to dai, that he schal not sle his seruaunt bi swerd. |
| [52]And SolomonH8010 saidH559[H8799], If he will shew himself a worthyH2428 manH1121, there shall not an hairH8185 of him fallH5307[H8799] to the earthH776: but if wickednessH7451 shall be foundH4672[H8735] in him, he shall dieH4191.[H8804] |
[52]And Salomon seide, If he is a good man, sotheli not oon heer of hym schal falle in to erthe; but if yuel be foundun in hym, he schal die. |
| [53]So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971[H8799], and they brought him downH3381[H8686] from the altarH4196. And he cameH935[H8799] and bowedH7812[H8691] himself to kingH4428 SolomonH8010: and SolomonH8010 saidH559[H8799] unto him, GoH3212[H8798] to thine houseH1004. |
