1 Kings 1
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
ΚΑΙ ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυεὶδ πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκὼς ἡμέραις, καὶ περιέβαλλον αὐτὸν ἱματίοις, καὶ οὐκ ἐθερμαίνετο.
Now King David was old and well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm.
καὶ εἶπον οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ Ζητηςάτωσαν τῷ βασιλεῖ παρθένον νεάνιδα, καὶ παραστήσεται τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ ἔσται αὐτὸν θάλπουσα καὶ κοιμηθήσεται μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ θερμανθήσεται ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς.
So his servants said to him, “Let us search for a young virgin for our lord the king, to attend to him and care for him and lie by his side to keep him warm.”
καὶ ἐζήτησαν νεάνιδα καλὴν ἐκ παντὸς ὁρίου Ἰσραήλ· καὶ εὗρον τὴν Ἀβειςὰ τὴν Σωμανεῖτιν, καὶ ἤνεγκαν αὐτὴν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα.
Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king.
καὶ ἡ νεᾶνις καλὴ ἕως σφόδρα· καὶ ἦν θάλπουσα τὸν βασιλέα καὶ ἐλειτούργει αὐτῷ, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτήν.
The girl was unsurpassed in beauty; she cared for the king and served him, but he had no relations with her.
καὶ Ἀδωνείας υἱὸς Ἁγγεὶθ ἐπῄρετο λέγων Ἐγὼ βασιλεύσω· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας παρατρέχειν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
At that time Adonijah, David’s son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, “I will be king!” And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of him.
καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκώλυσεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ οὐδέποτε λέγων Διὰ τί σὺ ἐποίησας; καί γε αὐτὸς ὡραῖος τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα, καὶ αὐτὸν ἔτεκεν ὀπίσω Ἀβεσσαλώμ.
(His father had never once reprimanded him by saying, “Why do you act this way?” Adonijah was also very handsome, born next after Absalom.)
καὶ ἐγένοντο οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ μετὰ Ἰωὰβ τοῦ υἱοῦ Σαρουίας καὶ μετὰ Ἀβιαθὰρ τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ ἐβοήθουν ὀπίσω Ἀδωνειού.
So Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, who supported him.
καὶ Σαδὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδᾶε καὶ ναθὰν ὁ προφήτης καὶ Σεμεεὶ καὶ Ῥησεὶ καὶ υἱοὺ δυνατοὶ τοῦ Δαυεὶδ οὐκ ἦσαν ὀπίσω Ἀδωνειού.
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s mighty men would not join Adonijah.
καὶ ἐθυςίασεν Ἀδωνειοὺ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους καὶ ἄρνας μετὰ Αἰθὴ τοῦ Ζωελεθεὶ ὃς ἦν ἐχόμενα τῆς Ῥωγήλ, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἁδροὺς Ἰούδα, παῖδας τοῦ βασιλέως·
And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves near the stone of Zoheleth (note: Or the Serpent’s Stone), which is next to En-rogel. He invited all his royal brothers and all the men of Judah who were servants of the king.
καὶ τὸν Ναθὰν τὸν προφήτην καὶ Βαναίαν καὶ τοὺς δυνατοὺς καὶ τὸν Σαλωμὼν ἀδελθὸν αὐτοὺ οὐκ ἐκάλεσεν.
But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.
καὶ εἶπεν Ναθὰν πρὸς Βηρσάβεε μητέρα Σαλωμὼν λέγων Οὐκ ἤκουσας ὅτι ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀδωνείας υἱὸς Ἁγγείθ, καὶ ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν Δαυεὶδ οὐκ ἔγων;
Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know it?
καὶ νῦν δεῦρο συμβουλεύσω σοι δὴ συμβουλίαν, καὶ ἐξελοῦ τὴν ψυχήν σου καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν τοῦ υἱοὺ σου Σαλωμών.
Now please, come and let me advise you. Save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
δεῖ ρο σύ, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, ὤμοσας τῇ δούλῃ σου λέγων ὅτι Ὁ υἱός σου Σαλωμὼν βασιλεύσει μετ’ ἐμέ, καὶ αὐτὸς καθιεῖται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρό9νου μου ; καὶ τί ὅτι ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀδωνείας ;
Go at once to King David and say, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear to your maidservant, “Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔτι λαλούσης σου ἐκεῖ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσελεύσομαι ὀπίσω καὶ πληρώσω τοὺς λόγους σου.
Then, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”
καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Βηρσάβεε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸν ταμεῖον· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς πρεσβύτης σφόδρα, καὶ Ἀβειςὰ ἡ Σωμανεῖτις ἡ λειτουργοῦσα τῷ βασιλεῖ.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. Since the king was very old, Abishag the Shunammite was serving him.
καὶ ἔκυψεν βηρσάβεε καὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Τί ἔστιν σοι ;
And Bathsheba bowed down in homage to the king, who asked, “What is your desire?”
ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Κύριε, σὺ ὤμοσας ἐν τῷ θεῷ σου τῇ δούλῃ σου λέγων ὅτι Ὁ υἱός σου Δαλωμὼν βασιλεύσει μετ’ ἐμέ, καὶ καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου.
“My lord,” she replied, “you yourself swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God: ‘Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’
καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ Ἀδωνείας ἐβασίλευσεν, καὶ σύ, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, οὐκ ἔγνως·
But now, behold, Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, do not know it.
καὶ ἐθυσίασεν μόσχους καὶ ἄρνας καὶ πρόβατα εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ Ἀβιαθὰρ τὸν ἱερέα καὶ Ἰωὰβ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ τὸν Σαλωμὼν τὸν δοῦλόν σου οὐκ ἐκάλεσεν.
And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army. But he has not invited your servant Solomon.
καὶ σύ, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς σέ, ἀπαγγεῖλαι αὐτοῖς τίς καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως μετ’ αὐτόν.
And as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you to tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν κοιμηθῇ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσομαι ἐγὼ καὶ Σαλωμὼν ὁ υἱός μου ἁμαρτωλοί.
Otherwise, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be counted as criminals.”
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔτι αὐτῆς λαλούσης μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ Ναθὰν ὁ προφήτης ἦλθεν.
And just then, while Bathsheba was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰδοὺ Ναθὰν ὁ προφήτης· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν,
So the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” And Nathan went in and bowed facedown before the king.
καὶ εἶπεν Ναθάν Κύριέ μου βασιλεπυ, σὺ εἶπας Ἀδωνείας βασιλεώσει ὁπίαω μου, καὶ αὐτὸς καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου;
“My lord the king,” said Nathan, “did you say, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’?
ὅτι κατέβη σήμερον καὶ ἐθυσίασεν μόσχους καὶ ἄρνας καὶ πρόβατα τἰς πλῆθος, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ Ἀβιαθὰρ τὸν ἱερέα. καὶ ἱδού εἰσιν εἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν Ζήτω ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀδωνειού.
For today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders (note: Hebrew; LXX Joab the commander) of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
καὶ ἐμὲ αὐτὸν δοῦλόν σου καὶ Σαδὼκ τὸν ἱερέα καὶ Βαναίαν υἱὸν Ἰωδᾶε καὶ Σαλωμὼν τὸν δοῦλόν σου οὐκ ἐκάλεσεν.
But me your servant he has not invited, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.
εἰ διὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως γεγονεν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώρισας τῷ δούλῳ σου τίς καθήσεται ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον τοῦ κυρίου μου βασιλέως μετ’αὐτόν;
Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?”
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυεὶδ καὶ εἶπεν Καλέσατέ μοι τὴν Βηρσάβεε. καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba for me.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
καὶ ὥμοσεν ὁ βασιλεύς καὶ εἶπεν Ζῇ Κύπιος ὃς ἐλυτρώσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ πάσης θλίψεως,
And the king swore an oath, saying, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
ὅτι καθώς ὥμοσά σοι ἐν Κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ λέγων ὅτι Σαλωμὼν ὁ υἱός σου βασιλεύσει μετ’ἐμὲ καὶ αὐτὸς καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου ἀντ’ἐμοῦ,ὅτι οὕτως ποιήσω τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ.
I will carry out this very day exactly what I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel: Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place.”
καὶ ἔκυψεν βηρσάβεε ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εἶπεν Ζήτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυεὶδ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
Bathsheba bowed facedown in homage to the king and said, “May my lord King David live forever!”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυείδ Καλέσατέ μοι Σαδὼκ τὸν ἱερέα καὶ Ναθὰν τὸν προφήτην καὶ Βαναίαν υἱὸν Ἰωδᾶε. καὶ εἰσὴλθον ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως.
Then King David said, “Call in for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτοῖς Δάβετε τοὺς δούλους τοῦ κυρίου ὑμῶν μεθ’ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπιβιβάσατε τὸν υἱόν μου Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον τὴν ἐμὴν καὶ καταγάγετε αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν Γειών,
“Take my servants with you,” said the king. “Set my son Solomon on my own mule and take him down to Gihon.
καὶ χρίσατε αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ, Σαδὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ Ναθὰν ὁ προφήτης, εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσρήλ, καὶ σαλπίσατε κερατίνῃ καὶ ἐρεῖτε Ζήτω ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαμωμών.
There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
καὶ καὶ καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου καὶ βασιλεύσει ἀντ’ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐνετειλάμην τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰουδά.
Then you shall go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. For I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδᾶε τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εἶπεν Γένοιτο. οὕτως πιστώσαι ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως.
“Amen,” replied Benaiah son of Jehoiada. “May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it.
καθὼς Κύριος μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως, οὔτως εἴη μετὰ σαλωμών, καὶ μεγαλύναι τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ τὸν θρόνον τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυείδ
Just as the LORD was with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon and make his throne even greater than that of my lord King David.”
καὶ κατέβη Σαδὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ Ναθὰν ὁ προφήτης καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδᾶε καὶ ὁ Χερεθθεὶ καὶ ὁ φελεθθεί, καὶ ἐπεκάθισαν τὸν Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν Γειών.
Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomon on King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.
καὶ ἒλαβεν Σαθὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ κέρας τοῦ ἐλαίου ἐκ τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ ἒχρισεν τὸν Σαλωμών. καὶ ἐσάλπισεν τῇ κεπατίνῃ· καὶ ἶπεν πᾶς ὁ λαός Ζήτω ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμών.
Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the ram’s horn, and all the people proclaimed, “Long live King Solomon!”
καὶ ἀνέβη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐχόρευον ἐν χοροῖς καὶ εὐφραινόμενοι εὐφροςύνην μεγάλην· καὶ ἐρράγη ἡ γῆ ἐν τῇ φωνῇ αὐτῶν.
All the people followed him, playing flutes and rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth was split by the sound.
καὶ ἢκουσεν Ἀδωνείας καὶ πάντες οἱ κλητοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτοὶ συνετέλεσαν φαγεῖν· καὶ ἢκουσεν Ἰωὰβ τὴν φωνὴν τῆς κερατίνης καὶ εἶπεν Τίς ἡ φωνὴ τῆς πόλεως ἠχούσης;
Now Adonijah and all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. “Why is the city in such a loud uproar?” asked Joab.
ἒτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἰωναθὰν υἱὸς Ἀβιαθὰρ τοῦ ἱερέως εἰσῆλθεν, καὶ εἶπεν Ἀδωνείας Εἲσελθε, ὃτι ἀνὴρ δυνάμεως εἶ σύ, καὶ ἀγαθὰ εὐαγγέλισαι.
As he was speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest arrived. “Come in,” said Adonijah, “for you are a man of valor. You must be bringing good news.”
καὶ ἀπεδρίθη Ἰωναθὰν καὶ εἶπεν Καὶ μάλα ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυεὶδ ἐβαςίλευσεν τὸν Σαλωμών·
“Not at all,” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ τὸν Σαδὼκ τὸν ἱερέα καὶ Ναθὰν τὸν προφήτην ἐπεκάθισαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον τοῦ βασιλέως·
And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s mule.
καὶ ἒχρισαν αὐτὸν Σαδὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ Ναθὰν ὁ προφήτης ἐν τῇ Γειών, καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκεὶθεν εὐφραινόμενοι, καὶ ἢχησεν ἡ πόλις· αὒτη ἡ Φωνὴ ἢν ἠκούσατε.
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
καὶ ἐκάθισεν Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ θρόνον βασιλείας,
Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ βασιλέως εὐλογῆσαι τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν τὸν βασιλέα Δαυεὶδ λέγοντες Ἀγαθόναι ὁ θεὸς τὸ ὂνομα Σαλωμὼν ὑπὲρ τὸ ὃνομά σου, καὶ μεγαλύναι τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ τὸν θρόνον σου· καὶ προσεκύνησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν κοίτην,
The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king has bowed in worship on his bed,
καὶ γε οὓτως εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, ὃς ἒδωκεν σήμερον ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματός μου καθήμενον ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου βλέπουσιν.
saying, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel! Today He has provided one to sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen it.’”
καὶ Ἀδωνείας ἐφοβήθη ἀπὸ προςώπου Σαλωμών, καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπῆλθεν καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.
But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to take hold of the horns of the altar.
καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ Σαλωμὼν λέγοντες Ἰδοὺ Ἀδωνείας ἐφοβήθη τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμών, καὶ κατέχει τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγων Ὀμοσάτω μοι σήμερον ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν εἰ οὐ θανατώσει τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.
It was reported to Solomon: “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, and he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon first swear to me not to put his servant to the sword.’”
καὶ εἶπεν Σαλωμὼν Ἐὰν γένηται εἰς υἱὸν δυνάμεως, εἰ πεσεῖται τῶν τριχῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἐὰν κακία εὑρεθῇ ἐν αὐτῷ, θανατωθήσεται.
And Solomon replied, “If he is a man of character, not a single hair of his will fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he will die.”
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων καὶ κατήνεγκεν αὐτὸν ἀπάνωθεν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν καὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαλωμὼν Δεῦρο εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου.
So King Solomon summoned Adonijah down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who said to him, “Go to your home.”
