1 Raja-raja 1:5

1 Raja-raja 1:25

1:25 For today he has gone down and sacrificed many cattle, steers, and sheep and has invited all the king’s sons, the army commanders, and Abiathar the priest. At this moment ⁶  they are having a feast ⁷  in his presence, and they have declared, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ ⁸ 

[1:5]  ¹ tn Heb “son of Haggith,” but since this formula usually designates the father (who in this case was David), the translation specifies that David was Adonijah’s father.

[1:5]  sn Haggith was one of David’s wives (2 Sam 3:4; 2 Chr 3:2).

[1:5]  ² tn Heb “lifting himself up.”

[1:5]  ³ tn Heb “saying.”

[1:5]  ⁴ tn Or “he acquired for himself.”

[1:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “to run ahead of him.”

[1:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “look.”

[1:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “eating and drinking.”

[1:25]  ⁸ tn Heb “let the king, Adonijah, live!”
