11 H5416 Why Nathan H559 spoke H1339 to Bathsheba H517 the mother H8010 of Solomon, H559 saying, H8085 Have you not heard H138 that Adonijah H1121 the son H2294 of Haggith H4427 does reign, H1732 and David H113 our lord H3045 knows it not?

12 H6258 Now H3212 therefore come, H4994 let me, I pray H6098 you, give you counsel, H4422 that you may save H5315 your own life, H5315 and the life H1121 of your son H8010 Solomon.

13 H3212 Go H935 and get H4428 you in to king H1732 David, H559 and say H113 to him, Did not you, my lord, H4428 O king, H7650 swear H519 to your handmaid, H559 saying, H3588 Assuredly H8010 Solomon H1121 your son H4427 shall reign H310 after H3427 me, and he shall sit H3678 on my throne? H4069 why H138 then does Adonijah H4427 reign?

14 H2009 Behold, H5750 while you yet H1696 talk H8033 there H4428 with the king, H935 I also will come H310 in after H4390 you, and confirm H1697 your words.

15 H1339 And Bathsheba H935 went H4428 in to the king H2315 into the chamber: H4428 and the king H3966 was very H2204 old; H49 and Abishag H7767 the Shunammite H8334 ministered H4428 to the king.

16 H1339 And Bathsheba H6915 bowed, H7812 and did obeisance H4428 to the king. H4428 And the king H559 said, H4100 What would you?

17 H559 And she said H113 to him, My lord, H7650 you swore H3068 by the LORD H430 your God H519 to your handmaid, H559 saying, H3588 Assuredly H8010 Solomon H1121 your son H4427 shall reign H310 after H3427 me, and he shall sit H3678 on my throne.
