1 Kings 1

1 Abishag cherishes David in his extreme age.

5 Adonijah, David's darling, usurps the kingdom.

11 By the council of Nathan,

15 Bath-sheba moves the king,

22 and Nathan seconds her.

28 David renews his oath to Bath-sheba.

32 Solomon, by David's appointment, being anointed king by Zadok and Nathan, the people triumph.

41 Jonathan bringing the news, Adonijah's guests fly.

50 Adonijah, flying to the horns of the altar, upon his good behaviour, is dismissed by Solomon.
