1 Kings 1-2 King James Version (KJV) 1 Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. 2 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. 3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not. 5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 6 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. 7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him. 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. 9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants: 10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not. 11 Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not? 12 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. 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? 14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words. 15 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king. 16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou? 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. 18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not: 19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called. 20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 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. 22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in. 23 And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground. 24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? 25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah. 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. 27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him? 28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king. 29 And the king sware, and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, 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. 31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever. 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. 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: 34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon. 35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. 36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the Lord God of my lord the king say so too. 37 As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David. 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. 39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon. 40 And all the people 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. 41 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? 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, and bringest good tidings. 43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king. 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: 45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard. 46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom. 47 And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed. 48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it. 49 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way. 50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword. 52 And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die. 53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house. 2 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 2 I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man; 3 And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: 4 That the Lord may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. 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. 6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. 7 But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother. 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. 9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. 10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. 12 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly. 13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. 14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on. 15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the Lord. 16 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on. 17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife. 18 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king. 19 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand. 20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay. 21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 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. 23 Then king Solomon sware by the Lord, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life. 24 Now therefore, as the Lord liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day. 25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died. 26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. 27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the Lord; that he might fulfil the word of the Lord, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 28 Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 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. 30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me. 31 And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father. 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. 33 Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the Lord. 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. 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. 36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither. 37 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head. 38 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days. 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. 40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath. 41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again. 42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the Lord, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good. 43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I have charged thee with? 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the Lord shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head; 45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever. 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.

1 राजा 1 Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) अदोनियाह राजा हुन इच्छुक 1 राजा दाऊद साह्रै बूढा भएका थिए। उनी आफूलाई न्यानो राख्न सक्दैन थिए। उनका नोकरहरूले उनलाई कम्बल ओढाए, तर उनी तातिएनन्। 2 यसकारण उनका नोकरहरूले उनलाई भने, “तपाईंको हेरचाह गर्नकोलागि हामी एउटी युवतीको खोजी गर्नेछौं। ऊ तपाईंसँगै सुत्ने गर्छे अनि तपाईंलाई न्यानो पार्छे।” 3 यसकारण राजाका नोकरहरू राजालाई न्यानो पार्नकालागि एउटी सुन्दरी युवतीको खोजी इस्राएल देशको प्रत्येक ठाउँमा गर्न थाले। उनीहरूले अबीशग नाउँ भएकी एउटी केटी भेट्टाए। ऊ शूनम्म शहरकी थिई। उनीहरूले युवतीलाई राजा कहाँ ल्याए। 4 युवती साह्रै नै राम्री थिई। उसले राजाको हेरचाह र सेवा गरी। तर राजाले ऊसित संभोग गरेनन्। 5-6 अदोनियाह राजा दाऊद अनि उनकी पत्नी हग्गीतका छोरा थिए। अदोनियाह साह्रै सुन्दर मानिस थिए। अदोनियाहको जन्म उनको दाजू अब्शालोम पछि भएको थियो, तर अदोनियाह साह्रै घमण्डी भए अनि राजा हुने निश्चय गरे। अदोनियाहको साह्रै राजा हुन इच्छुक थिए, यसकारण उनले आफ्नो लागि एउटा रथ, घोडाहरू अनि 50 जना मानिसहरू आफू अघि हिंडाउन ठीक पारे। राजा दाऊदले आफ्नो छोरालाई कहिल्यै सपारेनन्। उसले उनलाई कहिल्यै सोधेनन्, “तैंले किन यस्तो व्यवहार गर्दैछस्?” 7 अदोनियाहले सरूयाहका छोरा योआब अनि पूजाहारी एबीयातारसँग कुराकानी गरे। उनीहरूले उनलाई नयाँ राजा हुनमा सहायता गर्ने निर्णय लिए। 8 तर धेरै मानिसहरू अदोनियाहले गरेको कामसँग सहमत थिएनन् उनीहरू दाऊदका नै भक्त थिए। उनीहरू पूजाहारी सादोक, यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाह, नातान अगमवक्ता, शिमी, रेई अनि राजा दाऊदका विशेष अगंरक्षकहरू थिए। यसर्थ यी मानिसहरू अदोनियाहको पक्षमा भएनन्। 9 एक दिन अदोनियाहले एन्रोगेलको छेउमा जोहेलेत चट्टानमा केही भेंडाहरू, गाईहरू अनि बलियो बाछाहरू एउटा मेलबलि जस्तैं बलि चढाए। अदोनियाहले आफ्ना सबै दाज्यू-भाइहरू अर्थात् राजा दाऊदका अरू छोराहरू अनि यहूदाका सबै अधिकारीहरूलाई निम्त्याका थिए। 10 तर अदोनियाहले पिताका विशेष अंगरक्षकका आफन्त, आफ्नो भाइ सुलेमान, बनायाह अथवा अगमवक्ता नातानलाई निम्तो पठाएनन्। नातान र बतशेबा सुलेमानको पक्षमा 11 तर नातानले यस विषयमा सुने अनि सुलेमानकी आमा बतशेबा कहाँ गए। नातानले उनलाई सोधे, “हग्गीतका छोरा अदोनियाह के गरिरहेको छ, के तपाईंले सुन्नु भएको छ? ऊ आफूलाई राजा ठान्दैछ अनि हाम्रा मालिक राजा दाऊद यस विषयमा केही जान्दैनन्। 12 तपाईंको जीवन अनि तपाईंको छोरो सुलेमानको जीवन सङ्कटमा पर्न सक्छ। तर म तपाईंलाई आफूलाई बचाउन के गर्नुपर्छ, बताउने छु, 13 राजा दाऊद समक्ष जानुहोस्, अनि उनीसँग भन्नुहोस्, ‘महाराज, मेरा स्वामी, तपाईंले मलाई वचन दिनु भएको थियो। तपाईं पछि मेरो छोरो सुलेमान राजा हुनेछ भनी वचन दिनु भएको थियो। तब किन अदोनियाह नयाँ राजा हुँदैछ?’ 14 तपाईंको बात राजासित गरेको समयमा, म भित्र आउँनेछु अनि तपाईंले भनेका कुराहरूलाई पुष्टि गर्छु।” 15 यसकारण बतशेबा राजासँग भेट गर्न उनको भित्री कोठामा गइन्। राजा साह्रै नै बूढा भएका थिए। शूनम्मकी केटी अबीशग त्यहाँ उनको हेरचाहा गर्दै थिई। 16 बतशेबा राजाअघि निहुरिन्। राजाले भने, “म तिम्रोलागि के गर्न सक्छु?” 17 बतशेबाले जवाफ दिइन्, “मेरो स्वामी म तपाईंको दासीलाई परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको नाउँमा मलाई एउटा शपथ गर्नु भएको थियो। तपाईंले भन्नु भएको थियो, ‘तपाईंको छोरा सुलेमान तपाईं पछि राजा हुनेछ। उ मेरो सिंहासनमा बस्नेछ।’ 18 अहिले अदोनियाहले उ आफैंलाई राजा बनाइरहेको छ अनि तपाईं यसको लागि पनि होशियार हुनुहोस्। 19 अदोनियाहले विशाल मैत्री भोज दिदाँ धेरै गाईहरू तथा राम्रा भेंडाहरू मारेर बलि चढायो। अदोनियाहले तपाईंका सबै छोराहरूलाई निम्तो दियो। उसले पूजाहारी एबीयातार अनि सेनापति योआबलाई निम्तो दियो। तर उसले तपाईंको विश्वासी छोरा सुलेमानलाई निम्तो दिएन। 20 हे मेरा मालिक अनि महाराज, अहिले इस्राएलका सबै जनगण तपाईंलाई नै हेरिरहेका छन्। तपाईं पछि अर्को राजा को हुनेछ, यस निर्णयका लागि तिनीहरू तपाईंलाई नै पर्खिरहेका छन्। 21 तपाईंको मृत्यु अघि नै तपाईंले केही गर्नु पर्छ। तपाईंले केही गर्नु भएन भने, मृत्युपछि तब तपाईं तपाईंको पिता-पुर्खासित गाडिनु भए पछि, मेरो छोरा सुलेमान र म अपराधी ठहरिनेछौं।” 22 राजासँग बतशेबा कुराकानी गरिरहेकी थिइन् कि अगमवक्ता नातान उनलाई भेट्न आए। 23 चाकरहरूले राजालाई भने, “अगमवक्ता नातान आउनु भएको छ।” नातानले राजा अघि निहुरिएर ढोग दिए। 24 अनि भने, “हे मेरा मालिक अनि महाराज, तपाईंपछि अदोनियाह नयाँ राजा हुनेछ भनी के तपाईंले घोषणा गर्नु भयो? के तपाईंले निर्णय लिनु भएको छ, अब अदोनियाहले शासन चलाउने छ? 25 किनभने आज उसले तल बेंसीमा धेरै साँढहरू, मोटा-मोटा बाछाहरू अनि भेंडाहरू मेलबलि चढाउन ओर्लिएका छन्। उसले तपाईंका सबै छोराहरू, सेनापतिहरू अनि पूजाहारी एबीयातारलाई निम्ताएका थिए। तिनीहरू अहिले उनीसँग खानपानमा व्यस्त छन्। अनि तिनीहरू भन्दै छन्, ‘राजा अदोनियाह दीर्घायु होऊन्!’ 26 तर उनले मलाई अथवा पूजाहारी सादोक अथवा यहोयादाको छोरा बनायाह अथवा तपाईंको आज्ञाकारी छोरा सुलेमानलाई निम्तो दिएनन्। 27 मेरो मालिक महाराज, हामीलाई नभनी के तपाईंले यस्तो गर्नु भयो? कृपा गरेर हामीलाई बताउनुहोस्, तपाईंपछि अर्को राजा को हुनेछ?” 28 तब राजा दाऊदले भने, “बतशेबालाई भित्र बोलाऊ!” यसकारण बतशेबा भित्र राजासामु आइन्। 29 तब राजाले शपथ गरेः “परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मलाई प्रत्येक खतराबाट बचाउनु भएको छ। जसरी परमेश्वर जीवित हुनुहुन्छ। म तिमीसँग यो शपथ गर्दैछु। 30 आज म अतीतमा दिएको वचन पूरा गर्नेछु। इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको शक्तिको आधारमा मैंले त्यो वचन दिएको थिएँ। मपछि तिम्रो छोरा सुलेमान अर्को राजा हुनेछ भनी मैंले वचन दिएको थिएँ। म पछि ऊ मेरो राज सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनेछ। म आफ्नो प्रतिज्ञा पूरा गर्नेछु!” 31 तब बतशेबाले राजा दाऊद सामु भुईंमा निहुरेर ढोग गरिन्। अनि भनिन्, “दाऊद राजा दीर्घायु होऊन्।” सुलेमानलाई नयाँ राजा चुनियो 32 तब राजा दाऊदले भने, “पूजाहारी सादोक, अगमवक्ता नातान अनि यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहलाई यहाँ बोलाई देऊ।” यसकारण तीन जना व्यक्तिहरू राजासँग भेट गर्न आए। 33 तब राजाले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूसँग मेरा अधिकारीहरूलाई लिएर जाऊ। मेरो छोरा सुलेमानलाई आफ्नो खच्चडमा सवार गराऊ। उसलाई गीहोन स्रोतसम्म लिएर जाऊ। 34 त्यस ठाउँमा पूजाहारी सादोक अनि अगमवक्ता नातानले उसलाई इस्राएलको नयाँ राजाको रूपमा अभिषेक गर्नेछन्। तुरही बजाऊ अनि घोषणा गर, ‘यिनी नयाँ राजा, सुलेमान हुन्!’ 35 त्यसपछि उसँग यहाँ फर्केर आऊ। सुलेमान मेरो सिंहासनमा बस्नेछ अनि मेरो ठाउँमा नयाँ राजा हुनेछ। मैले सुलेमानलाई इस्राएल अनि यहूदाको शासकको रूपमा छानेको छु।” 36 यहोयादाका छोरा बनायाहले राजालाई जवाफ दिए, “आमेन! मेरा मालिक अनि महाराज! परमेश्वर स्वयमले यो भन्नु भएकोछ। 37 मेरा मालिक अनि महाराज, परमप्रभु तपाईंसँगै हुनुहुन्छ। अनि अहिले विश्वास गर्छु परमप्रभु सुलेमानसँग हुनुहुनेछ। म आशा गर्छु सुलेमानको राज्य बढ्नेछ अनि उनी तपाईं भन्दाअझै शक्तिशाली हुनेछन्, मेरा मालिक राजा दाऊद।” 38 यसकारण सादोक, नातान, बनायाह अनि राजाका अधिकारीहरूले राजा दाऊदको आज्ञा पालन गरे। तिनीहरूले सुलेमानलाई राजा दाऊदको खच्चडमा सवार गराए अनि ऊसँग गीहेन स्रोत गए। 39 पूजाहारी सदोकले पवित्र पालबाट तेल लगे। सादोकले उनलाई राजा देखाउनका लागि सुलेमानको शिरमा तेलले अभिषेक गरे। तिनीहरूले तुरही फुके अनि सबै मानिसहरूले हर्षित हुँदै भने, “राजा सुलेमान दीर्घायु होऊन्।” 40 तब सबै मानिसहरू सुलेमानको पछि-पछि शहरमा आए। तिनीहरू बाँसुरी बजाउँदै थिए अनि भुइँ थर्किने गरी कराउँदै थिए। 41 त्यस समयमा अदोनियाह अनि उनका अतिथिहरू खान-पीन शेष पार्दै थिए। तिनीहरूले तुरहीको आवाज सुने। योआबले सोधे, “त्यो हल्ला के हो? शहरमा के भइरहेको छ?” 42 जब योआब बोल्दै थिए, पूजाहारी एबीयातारका छोरा जोनाथन आइपुगे। अदोनियाहले भने, “यहाँ आऊ! तिमी असल मानिस हौ। तिमीले मेरो निम्ति शुभ-समाचार ल्याएको हुनुपर्छ।” 43 तर जोनाथनले जवाफ दिए, “होइन, तपाईंको लागि यो शुभ-समाचार होइन! राजा दाऊदले सुलेमानलाई नयाँ राजा बनाए। 44 राजा दाऊदले पूजाहारी सादोक, अगमवक्ता नातान, यहोयादका छोरा बनायाह अनि राजाका व्यक्तिगत अंगरक्षकहरू पनि ऊ सँगै पठाए। तिनीहरूले उसलाई राजाको आफ्नो खच्चडमा सवार गराए। 45 तब पूजाहारी सादोक अनि अगमवक्ता नातानले गीहोन स्रोतमा सुलेमानलाई अभिषेक गरे। अनि तिनीहरू शहरमा गए। जन साधारणले उनको स्वागत गरे अनि अहिले शहरका जनता औधी प्रसन्न छन्। तपाईंले सुनेको हल्ला त्यही नै हो। 46-47 सुलेमान राज-सिंहासनमा बसेका छन्! राजाका अधिकारीहरू राजा दाऊदलाई अभिवादन पनि गर्दैछन्। तिनीहरू भन्दै छन्, ‘राजा दाऊद, तपाईं महान् राजा हुनु हुन्छः अब हामी प्रार्थना गर्छौ, तपाईंको परमेश्वरले सुलेमानलाई पनि महान् राजा बनाउनुहुनेछ। हामी आशा गर्छौ तपाईंको परमेश्वरले सुलेमानलाई तपाईंभन्दा बढी नै प्रख्यात बनाउनु हुनेछ अनि हामी अझै आशा गर्छौ, सुलेमानको राज्य तपाईंको भन्दा पनि विशाल हुनेछ!’ यहाँ सम्म कि राजा दाऊद पनि त्यहाँ थिए! राजा दाऊदले आफ्नो ओछ्यानबाट निहुरेर सुलेमानलाई ढोग गरे। 48 अनि भने, ‘इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको स्तुति गर। परमेश्वरले मेरा छोराहरू मध्ये एक जनालाई मेरो सिंहासनमा बसाउनु भयो अनि यो हेर्न मलाई जीवित राख्नुभयो।’” 49 अदोनियाहका सबै अतिथिहरू तर्सिए अनि छिट्टै गए। 50 अदोनियाह पनि सुलेमानसित डराए। यसकारण उनी वेदीमा गए अनि वेदीको सींग समाते। 51 तब कसैले सुलेमानलाई भने, “अदोनियाह तपाईंसित डराएको छ, राजा सुलेमान। अदोनियाह वेदीको सींग समाते र पवित्र पालमा बसेको छ अनि छोड्न पनि चाहँदैन। अदोनियाह भन्दै छ, ‘राजा सुलेमानलाई बाचा गर्न भनी देऊ, उसले मलाई नमारोस्।’” 52 सुलेमानले जवाफ दिए, “यदि अदोनियाह साबित गर्छ कि ऊ एक जना असल मानिस हो, तब म प्रतिज्ञा गर्छु उसको टाउकोको एउटा केशलाई पनि केही हुनेछैन। तर यदि उसले नराम्रो काम गर्यो भने उ मारिने छ।” 53 तब राजा सुलेमानले केही मानिसहरूलाई अदोनियाहलाई लिन पठाए। मानिसहरूले अदोनियाहलाई राजा सुलेमान समक्ष ल्याए। अदोनियाह राजा सुलेमानको सामु गए अनि निहुरेर ढोग गरे। तब सुलेमानले भने, “घर जाऊ।”
