⁷ And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ 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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, man, and bringest good tidings.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now in the eighteenth eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁶ So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And she arose at midnight, midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ The son of Geber, in Ramoth-gilead; Ramoth-gilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brasen bars:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ He was a widow's widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
