Now king David was old and stricken in years； and they covered him with clothes， but he gat no heat.

　　1：2 所以臣仆对他说，不如为我主我王寻梢一个处女，使她伺候王，奉养王，睡在王的怀中，好叫我主我王得暖。

　　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.

　　1：3 于是在以色列全境寻梢美貌的童女，寻得书念的一个童女亚比煞，就带到王那里。

　　So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel， and found Abishag a Shunammite， and brought her to the king.

　　1：4 这童女极其美貌，她奉养王，伺候王，王却没有与她亲近。

　　And the damsel was very fair， and cherished the king， and ministered to him： but the king knew her not.

　　1：5 那时，哈及的儿子亚多尼雅自尊，说，我必作王，就为自己预备车辆，马兵，又派五十人在他前头奔走。

　　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.

　　1：6 他父亲素来没有使他忧闷，说，你是作什么呢。他甚俊美，生在押沙龙之后。

　　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.

　　1：7 亚多尼雅与洗鲁雅的儿子约押，和祭司亚比亚他商议。二人就顺从他，帮助他。

　　And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah， and with Abiathar the priest： and they following Adonijah helped him.

　　1：8 但祭司撒督，耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，先知拿单，示每，利以，并大卫的勇士都不顺从亚多尼雅。

　　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.

　　1：9 一日，亚多尼雅在隐罗结旁，琐希列磐石那里宰了牛羊，肥犊，请他的诸弟兄，就是王的众子，并所有作王臣仆的犹大人。

　　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：

　　1：10 惟独先知拿单和比拿雅并勇士，与他的兄弟所罗门，他都没有请。

　　But Nathan the prophet， and Benaiah， and the mighty men， and Solomon his brother， he called not.

　　1：11 拿单对所罗门的母亲拔示巴说，哈及的儿子亚多尼雅作王了，你没有听见吗。我们的主大卫却不知道。

　　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？

　　1：12 现在我可以给你出个主意，好保全你和你儿子所罗门的性命。

　　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.

　　1：13 你进去见大卫王，对他说，我主我王阿，你不曾向婢女起誓说，你儿子所罗门必接续我作王，坐在我的位上吗。现在亚多尼雅怎吗作了王呢。

　　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？

　　1：14 你还与王说话的时候，我也随后进去，证实你的话。

　　Behold， while thou yet talkest there with the king， I also will come in after thee， and confirm thy words.

　　1：15 拔示巴进入内室见王，王甚老迈，书念的童女亚比煞正伺候王。

　　And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber： and the king was very old； and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.

　　1：16 拔示巴向王屈身下拜。王说，你要什么。

　　And Bathsheba bowed， and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said， What wouldest thou？

　　1：17 她说，我主阿，你曾向婢女指着耶和华你的神起誓说，你儿子所罗门必接续我作王，坐在我的位上。

　　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.

　　1：18 现在亚多尼雅作王了，我主我王却不知道。

　　And now， behold， Adonijah reigneth； and now， my lord the king， thou knowest it not：

　　1：19 他宰了许多牛羊，肥犊，请了王的众子和祭司亚比亚他，并元帅约押。惟独王的仆人所罗门，他没有请。

　　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.

　　1：20 我主我王阿，以色列众人的眼目都仰望你，等你晓谕他们，在我主我王之后谁坐你的位。

　　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.

　　1：21 若不然，到我主我王与列祖同睡以后，我和我儿子所罗门必算为罪人了。
