eyesine yayingu -Adoniya indodana kaHagiti ; eyesihlanu yayinguShefathiya indodana ka-Abithali;

U-Adoniya indodana kaHagiti waziphakamisa , wathi: Mina ngiyakuba yinkosi. Wazilungiselela izinqola , nabamahhashi, nabantu abangama shumi ayisihlanu ukugijima phambi kwakhe.

Wacebisana noJowabe indodana kaSeruya no -Abiyathara umpristi; bamsiza u-Adoniya, bamlandela.

Kepha uSadoki umpristi , noBenaya indodana kaJehoyada , noNathani umprofethi, noShimeyi, noReyi, namaqhawe kaDavide abamlandelanga u - Adoniya.

U-Adoniya wahlaba izimvu , nezinkabi, namathole akhuluphalisiweyo ngasetsheni laseZoheleti eliseceleni kwe -Eni Rogeli; wamema bonke abafowabo, amadodana enkosi, nabantu bonke bakwaJuda, izinceku zenkosi;

UNathani wathi kuBati Sheba unina kaSolomoni: Awuzwanga yini ukuthi u- Adoniya indodana kaHagiti uyabusa, uDavide inkosi yethu engakwazi, na?

Hamba ungene enkosini uDavide , uthi kuyo : Wena nkosi yami , nkosi, awufunganga yini kuyo incekukazi yakho ngokuthi : USolomoni indodana yakho uyakuba yinkosi emva kwami , ahlale esihlalweni sami sobukhosi , na? Pho, kungani ukuba kubuse u-Adoniya na?

Bheka, manje kubusa u-Adoniya; wena nkosi yami, nkosi, awukwazi;

UNathani wathi : Nkosi yami , nkosi, wena ushilo yini ukuthi : U -Adoniya uyakuba yinkosi emva kwami, ahlale esihlalweni sami sobukhosi, na?

Ngokuba wehlile namuhla; uhlabile izinkabi, namathole akhuluphalisiweyo, nezimvu eziningi , umemile onke amadodana enkosi , nezinduna zempi , no- Abiyathara umpristi; bheka, bayadla, bephuza phambi kwakhe , bathi: Mana njalo, nkosi Adoniya.

U-Adoniya nabo bonke abamenyiweyo ababe naye bawuzwa sebeqedile ukudla. UJowabe esezwa ukukhala kwecilongo wathi : Ngowani lo msindo wokuxokozela emzini na?

Esakhuluma, bheka, kwafika uJonathani indodana ka-Abiyathara umpristi; u-Adoniya wathi : Ngena, ngokuba wena uyindoda enamandla ; uze nodaba oluhle.

UJonathani waphendula , wathi ku -Adoniya: Qha, inkosi yethu , inkosi uDavide, imbekile uSolomoni inkosi;

Abamenyiweyo bonke baka -Adoniya besaba , basuka, bahamba bonke , kwaba yilowo nalowo ngendlela yakhe.

U-Adoniya wesaba ngenxa kaSolomoni ; wasuka wahamba , wabamba izimpondo ze-altare.

Kwabikwa kuSolomoni ukuthi : Bheka, u-Adoniya uyayesaba inkosi uSolomoni; ngalokho ubambile izimpondo ze -altare, ethi: Inkosi uSolomoni mayifunge kimi namuhla ukuthi ayiyikubulala inceku yayo ngenkemba.

Izinsuku uDavide abusa ngazo phezu kuka -Israyeli zaziyiminyaka engamashumi amane ; iminyaka eyisikhombisa wabusa eHebroni , iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nantathu wabusa eJerusalema. Izijeziso zika-Adoniya, no-Abiyathara, noJowabe, noShimeyi

Wayesefika u-Adoniya indodana kaHagiti kuBati Sheba unina kaSolomoni . Wathi: Uze nokuthula na? Wathi yena: Yebo, ngize nokuthula.

Wayesehamba uBati Sheba, waya enkosini uSolomoni ukuba amkhulumele u-Adoniya kuyo. Inkosi yasukuma ukumhlangabeza, yamkhothamela, yahlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi , yambekela unina wenkosi isihlalo , wahlala ngakwesokunene sayo.

Wathi-ke: U-Abishagi waseShunemi makanikwe ku-Adoniya umfowenu, abe ngumkakhe.

Inkosi uSolomoni yaphendula , yathi kunina : Umcelelelani u -Adoniya u- Abishagi waseShunemi na? Mcelele nombuso futhi, ngokuba ungumnewethu; yebo, mcelele yena no-Abiyathara umpristi, noJowabe indodana kaSeruya.

Inkosi uSolomoni yayisifunga uJehova ngokuthi : UNkulunkulu makenze njalo kimi , enezele futhi , uma u-Adoniya engakhulumanga leli zwi libe ngelokufa kwakhe.

Ngalokho, kuphila kukaJehova ongiqinisileyo , wangibeka esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide ubaba , wangenza indlu njengokukhuluma kwakhe ; namhla nje uyakubulawa u-Adoniya.

Lapho kufika umbiko kuJowabe ngokuba uJowabe -- wayemlandele u - Adoniya noma engamlandelanga u -Abisalomu uJowabe -- wabaleka, waya etendeni likaJehova, wabamba izimpondo ze-altare.

owesithathu ngu -Abisalomu indodana kaMahakha indodakazi kaTalimayi inkosi yaseGeshuri; owesine ngu-Adoniya indodana kaHagiti;

zinamaLevi oShemaya , noNethaniya, noZebadiya, no-Asaheli, noShemiramoti, noJehonathani, no-Adoniya, noThobiya, noThobi Adoniya, amaLevi, beno-Elishama noJehoramu, abapristi.
