Adonijah Claims the Throne

1 Kings 1:5-10

And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying, `I do reign;' and he prepareth for himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men running before him,

and his father hath not grieved him all his days, saying, `Wherefore thus hast thou done?' and he also is of a very good form, and his mother bare him after Absalom.

And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;

and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones whom David hath, have not been with Adonijah.

And Adonijah sacrificeth sheep and oxen and fatlings near the stone of Zoheleth, that is by En-Rogel, and calleth all his brethren, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah, servants of the king;

and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones, and Solomon his brother, he hath not called.
