Then ye shall come uph5927h8804 afterh310 him, that he may comeh935h8804 and sith3427h8804 upon my throneh3678; for he shall be kingh4427h8799 in my stead: and I have appointedh6680h8765 him to be rulerh5057 over Israelh3478 and over Judahh3063.

38

So Zadokh6659 the priesth3548, and Nathanh5416 the propheth5030, and Benaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077, and the Cherethitesh3774, and the Pelethitesh6432, went downh3381h8799, and caused Solomonh8010 to rideh7392h8686 upon kingh4428 David'sh1732 muleh6506, and broughth3212h8686 him to Gihonh1521.

And when Joabh3097 heardh8085h8799 the soundh6963 of the trumpeth7782, he saidh559h8799, Wherefore is this noiseh6963 of the cityh7151 being in an uproarh1993h8802?

42

And while he yet spakeh1696h8764, behold, Jonathanh3129 the sonh1121 of Abiatharh54 the priesth3548 cameh935h8804: and Adonijahh138 saidh559h8799 unto him, Come inh935h8798; for thou art a valianth2428 manh376h8676h381, and bringesth1319 goodh2896 tidingsh1319h8762.

And the kingh4428 bowedh7812h8691 himself upon the bedh4904.
