Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”The king answered,“ Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.”

Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household. Each man had to make provision for a month in the year.

So the Scripture was fulfilled which says,“ Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.

and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah, for Yahweh’s sake.

One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast.

the king said to Nathan the prophet,“ See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”

but he didn’t call Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother.Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying,“ Haven’t you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn’t know it?Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and your son Solomon’s life.Go in to king David, and tell him,‘ Didn’t you, my lord, king, swear to your servant, saying,“ Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?” Why then does Adonijah reign?’Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm your words.”Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.Bathsheba bowed, and showed respect to the king. The king said,“ What would you like?”She said to him,“ My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your servant,‘ Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know it.He has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”Behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.They told the king, saying,“ Behold, Nathan the prophet!” When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.Nathan said,“ My lord, king, have you said,‘ Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?’For he has gone down today, and has slain cattle, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying,‘ Long live king Adonijah!’But he hasn’t called me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.Was this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven’t shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”Then king David answered,“ Call Bathsheba in to me.” She came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.The king swore, and said,“ As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying,‘ Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today.”Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and showed respect to the king, and said,“ Let my lord king David live forever!”King David said,“ Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” They came before the king.The king said to them,“ Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say,‘ Long live king Solomon!’Then come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.”Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said,“ Amen. May Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say so.As Yahweh has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.”So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said,“ Long live king Solomon!”All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said,“ Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said,“ Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.”Jonathan answered Adonijah,“ Most certainly our lord king David has made Solomon king.The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king’s mule.Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.Moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying,‘ May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;’ and the king bowed himself on the bed.Also thus said the king,‘ Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne today, my eyes even seeing it.’”All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.Adonijah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and hung onto the horns of the altar.Solomon was told,“ Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, behold, he is hanging onto the horns of the altar, saying,‘ Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’”Solomon said,“ If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of his shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.”So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him,“ Go to your house.”

Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him,“ There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.The rich man had very many flocks and herds,but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him, and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.A traveler came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb, and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”David’s anger burned hot against the man, and he said to Nathan,“ As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity!”Nathan said to David,“ You are the man. This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says:‘ I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.I gave you your master’s house, and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.Why have you despised Yahweh’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’“ This is what Yahweh says:‘ Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.For you did this secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”David said to Nathan,“ I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David,“ Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die.However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”Nathan departed to his house. Yahweh struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it was very sick.

You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
