1 مُلُوك 1
| وَشَاخَ الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَطَعَنَ فِي السِّنِّ، فَكَانُوا يُدَثِّرُونَهُ بِالأَغْطِيَةِ فَلا يَشْعُرُ بِالدِّفْءِ. | ١ 1 |
Now King David was old and well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «لِيَلْتَمِسْ سَيِّدُنَا الْمَلِكُ فَتَاةً عذْرَاءَ تَخْدُمُكَ، وَتَعْتَنِي بِكَ وَتَضْطَجِعُ فِي حِضْنِكَ، فَتَبْعَثُ فِيكَ الدِّفْءَ». | ٢ 2 |
So his servants said to him, “Let us search for a young virgin for our lord the king, to attend to him and care for him and lie by his side to keep him warm.”
| فَبَحَثُوا لَهُ عَنْ فَتَاةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ فِي أَرْجَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَعَثَرُوا عَلَى أَبِيشَجَ الشُّونَمِيَّةِ فَأَحْضَرُوهَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ. | ٣ 3 |
Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king.
| وَكَانَتِ الْفَتَاةُ بَارِعَةَ الْجَمَالِ، فَصَارَتْ لَهُ حَاضِنَةً، تَقُومُ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ الْمَلِكَ لَمْ يُعَاشِرْهَا. | ٤ 4 |
The girl was unsurpassed in beauty; she cared for the king and served him, but he had no relations with her.
| وَعَظَّمَ أَدُونِيَّا ابْنُ حَجِّيثَ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا أَمْلِكُ»، وَجَهَّزَ لِنَفْسِهِ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَفُرْسَاناً وَاسْتَأْجَرَ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلاً يَجْرُونَ أَمَامَ مَوْكِبِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
At that time Adonijah, David’s son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, “I will be king!” And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of him.
| وَلَمْ يُغْضِبْهُ أَبُوهُ قَطُّ بِسُؤَالِهِ: «لِمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ هَكَذَا؟» وَكَانَ أَدُونِيَّا وَسِيمَ الطَّلْعَةِ، وَقَدْ أَنْجَبَتْهُ أُمُّهُ بَعْدَ أَبْشَالُومَ. | ٦ 6 |
(His father had never once reprimanded him by saying, “Why do you act this way?” Adonijah was also very handsome, born next after Absalom.)
| وَتَدَاوَلَ الأَمْرَ مَعَ يُوآبَ بْنِ صُرُوِيَّةَ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنِ فَأَعَانَاهُ، | ٧ 7 |
So Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, who supported him.
| وَأَمَّا صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَنَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ وَشِمْعِي وَرِيعِي وَسِوَاهُمْ مِنَ الأَبْطَالِ مِنْ رِجَالِ دَاوُدَ فَلَمْ يَنْسَاقُوا مَعَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s mighty men would not join Adonijah.
| وَتَوَجَّهَ أَدُونِيَّا إِلَى عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ حَيْثُ ذَبَحَ غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَمُسَمَّنَاتٍ عِنْدَ حَجَرِ الزَّاحِفَةِ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ، وَجَمِيعَ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا مِنْ حَاشِيَةِ دَاوُدَ، | ٩ 9 |
And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves near the stone of Zoheleth, which is next to En-rogel. He invited all his royal brothers and all the men of Judah who were servants of the king.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْعُ نَاثَانَ النَّبِيَّ وَلا بَنَايَاهُو، وَلا الرِّجَالَ الأَبْطَالَ وَلا سُلَيْمَانَ أَخَاهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.
| فَأَقْبَلَ نَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَثْشَبَعَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمَانَ قَائِلاً: «أَلَمْ تَعْلَمِي أَنَّ أَدُونِيَّا ابْنَ حَجِّيثَ قَدْ مَلَكَ، وَسَيِّدُنَا دَاوُدُ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ بِالأَمْرِ بَعْدُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know it?
| فَالآنَ تَعَالَيْ أُشِيرُ عَلَيْكِ بِمَا يُنْقِذُكِ وَيُنْقِذُ ابْنَكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Now please, come and let me advise you. Save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
| امْضِي وَادْخُلِي إِلَى الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ وَقُولِي لَهُ: أَلَمْ تَحْلِفْ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ لِجَارِيَتِكَ أَنَّ ابْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ يَكُونُ الْمَلِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِي وَهُوَ يَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِي؟ فَلِمَاذَا مَلَكَ أَدُونِيَّا إِذاً؟» | ١٣ 13 |
Go at once to King David and say, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear to your maidservant, “Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’
| وَفِيمَا أَنْتِ تُخَاطِبِينَ الْمَلِكَ أَدْخُلُ وَرَاءَكِ، وأُؤَيِّدُ كَلامَكِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”
| فَمَثَلَتْ بَثْشَبَعُ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ الشَّيْخِ فِي مُخْدَعِهِ، وَكَانَتْ أَبِيشَجُ الشُّونَمِيَّةُ قَائِمَةً عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. Since the king was very old, Abishag the Shunammite was serving him.
| فَأَكَبَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا وَسَجَدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ، فَسَأَلَهَا الْمَلِكُ: «مَالَكِ؟» | ١٦ 16 |
And Bathsheba bowed down in homage to the king, who asked, “What is your desire?”
| فَأَجَابَتْهُ: «لَقَدْ حَلَفْتَ لِي بِالرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي قَائِلاً:’إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ابْنِي يُصْبِحُ مَلِكاً مِنْ بَعْدِي وَيَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِي‘ | ١٧ 17 |
“My lord,” she replied, “you yourself swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God: ‘Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’
| وَلَكِنْ هَا هُوَ أَدُونِيَّا قَدْ مَلَكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلْمٍ مِنْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ، | ١٨ 18 |
But now, behold, Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, did not know it.
| وَقَدْ ذَبَحَ ثِيرَاناً وَمُسَمَّنَاتٍ وَغَنَماً بِوَفْرَةٍ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنَ، ويُوآبَ رَئِيسَ الْجَيْشِ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَدْعُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَبْدَكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army. But he did not invite your servant Solomon.
| إِنَّ جَمِيعَ أَعْيُنِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ، تَتَّجِهُ نَحْوَكَ فِي انْتِظَارِ إِعْلانِكَ مَنْ يَخْلُفُ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you to tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
| وَإلَّا حَالَمَا يَنْضَمُّ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ إِلَى آبَائِهِ نُعَامَلُ أَنَا وَابْنِي سُلَيْمَانُ مُعَامَلَةَ الْمُذْنِبِينَ». | ٢١ 21 |
Otherwise, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be counted as criminals.”
| وَفِيمَا هِيَ تُخَاطِبُ الْمَلِكَ جَاءَ نَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ، | ٢٢ 22 |
And just then, while Bathsheba was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
| فَقِيلَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «قَدْ جَاءَ نَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ». فَمَثَلَ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ، | ٢٣ 23 |
So the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” And Nathan went in and bowed facedown before the king.
| وَتَسَاءَلَ نَاثَانُ: «هَلْ قُلْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ: إِنَّ أَدُونِيَّا يَمْلِكُ مِنْ بَعْدِي وَيَخْلُفُنِي عَلَى عَرْشِي؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
“My lord the king,” said Nathan, “did you say, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’?
| لأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَضَى الْيَوْمَ وَذَبَحَ ثِيرَاناً وَمُسَمَّنَاتٍ وَغَنَماً بِوَفْرَةٍ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ وَرُؤَسَاءَ الْجَيْشِ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنَ، وَهَا هُمْ يَحْتَفِلُونَ آكِلِينَ شَارِبِينَ أَمَامَهُ هَاتِفِينَ: لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ أَدُونِيَّا! | ٢٥ 25 |
For today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
| وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَصَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَسُلَيْمَانُ فَلَمْ يَدْعُنَا. | ٢٦ 26 |
But me your servant he did not invite, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.
| فَهَلْ صَدَرَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ عَنْ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُطْلِعَ عَبْدَكَ عَمَّنْ يَخْلُفُكَ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ؟» | ٢٧ 27 |
Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?”
| فَأَجَابَ الْمَلِكُ: «اسْتَدْعِ لِي بَثْشَبَعَ». فَمَثَلَتْ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ، | ٢٨ 28 |
Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba for me.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
| فَحَلَفَ الْمَلِكُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَ نَفْسِي مِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقٍ، | ٢٩ 29 |
And the king swore an oath, saying, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
| كَمَا أَقْسَمْتُ لَكِ بِالرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ابْنَكِ سُلَيْمَانَ يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي وَيَخْلُفُنِي عَلَى عَرْشِي، هَكَذَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
I will carry out this very day exactly what I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel: Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place.”
| فَخَرَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِدَةً لِلْمَلِكِ وَقَالَتْ: «لِيَحْيَ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ!» | ٣١ 31 |
Bathsheba bowed facedown in homage to the king and said, “May my lord King David live forever!”
| وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ: «اسْتَدْعِ لِي صَادُوقَ الْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ النَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ». فَدَخَلُوا إِلَى حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ | ٣٢ 32 |
Then King David said, “Call in for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.
| فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لَهُمْ: «خُذُوا مَعَكُمْ رِجَالَ حَاشِيَةِ سَيِّدِكُمْ، وَأَرْكِبُوا سُلَيْمَانَ ابْنِي عَلَى بَغْلَتِي الْخَاصَّةِ، وَانْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى جِيحُونَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
“Take my servants with you,” said the king. “Set my son Solomon on my own mule and take him down to Gihon.
| وَلْيَمْسَحْهُ هُنَاكَ صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَانْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقِ هَاتِفِينَ:’لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ‘. | ٣٤ 34 |
There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
| ثُمَّ اصْعَدُوا وَرَاءَهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ فَيَجْلِسَ عَلَى عَرْشِي، فَهُوَ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ لِيَخْلُفَنِي عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا». | ٣٥ 35 |
Then you shall go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. For I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”
| فَقَالَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «آمِين! لِيَكُنْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ! | ٣٦ 36 |
“Amen,” replied Benaiah son of Jehoiada. “May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so declare it.
| وَكَمَا كَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ لِيَكُنْ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَيَجْعَلْ عَرْشَهُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ عَرْشِ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ». | ٣٧ 37 |
Just as the LORD was with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon and make his throne even greater than that of my lord King David.”
| وَمَضَى صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَضُبَّاطُ حَرَسِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَرْكَبُوا سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ، وَانْطَلَقُوا بِهِ إِلَى جِيحُونَ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomon on King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.
| فَأَخَذَ صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ قَرْنَ الدُّهْنِ مِنَ الْخَيْمَةِ وَمَسَحَ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَنَفَخُوا بِالْبُوقِ وَهَتَفَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ: «لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ». | ٣٩ 39 |
Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the ram’s horn, and all the people proclaimed, “Long live King Solomon!”
| وَصَعِدَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ وَرَاءَ سُلَيْمَانَ وَهُمْ يَعْزِفُونَ عَلَى النَّايِ هَاتِفِينَ فَرَحاً، حَتَّى ارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ أَصْوَاتِهِمْ. | ٤٠ 40 |
All the people followed him, playing flutes and rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth was split by the sound.
| وَسَمِعَ أَدُونِيَّا وَمَدْعُوُّوهُ جَمِيعاً أَصْوَاتَ الْهُتَافِ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَرَغُوا مِنَ الأَكْلِ، وَبَلَغَ نَفِيرُ الْبُوقِ مَسَامِعَ يُوآبَ فَتَساءَلَ: «مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا الضَّجِيجِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ؟» | ٤١ 41 |
Now Adonijah and all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. “Why is the city in such a loud uproar?” asked Joab.
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَسَاءَلُ جَاءَ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ أَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنِ، فَقَالَ أَدُونِيَّا: «تَعَالَ، فَأَنْتَ رَجُلٌ كَرِيمٌ تَحْمِلُ بَشَائِرَ خَيْرٍ». | ٤٢ 42 |
As he was speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest arrived. “Come in,” said Adonijah, “for you are a man of valor. You must be bringing good news.”
| فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ أَدُونِيَّا: «لا إِنَّ سَيِّدَنَا الْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ قَدْ نَصَّبَ سُلَيْمَانَ مَلِكاً، | ٤٣ 43 |
“Not at all,” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
| وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ صَادُوقَ الْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ النَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ وضُبَّاطَ حَرَسِهِ، فَأَرْكَبُوهُ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ الْمَلِكِ، | ٤٤ 44 |
And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s mule.
| وَمَسَحَهُ صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ مَلِكاً فِي جِيحُونَ، ثُمَّ صَعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ فَرِحِينَ هَاتِفِينَ، حَتَّى مَلأَ ضَجِيجُهُمُ الْمَدِينَةَ. وَهَذَا هُوَ مَصْدَرُ الصَّوْتِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ. | ٤٥ 45 |
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
| وَقَدْ جَلَسَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ». | ٤٦ 46 |
Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
| وَتَوَافَدَ رِجَالُ الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ لِتَهْنِئَتِهِ قَائِلِينَ: «لِيَجْعَلْ إِلَهُكَ اسْمَ سُلَيْمَانَ أَكْثَرَ شُهْرَةً مِنِ اسْمِكَ، وَعَرْشَهُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ». فَسَجَدَ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ | ٤٧ 47 |
The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king has bowed in worship on his bed,
| قَائِلاً: «تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي أَنْعَمَ عَلَيَّ بِمَنْ يَخْلُفُنِي عَلَى عَرْشِي وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ عَلَى قَيْدِ الْحَيَاةِ». | ٤٨ 48 |
saying, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel! Today He has provided one to sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen it.’”
| فَاعْتَرَتِ الرِّعْدَةُ جَمِيعَ مَدْعُوِّي أَدُونِيَّا، فَقَامُوا وَتَفَرَّقُوا كُلٌّ فِي سَبِيلِهِ. | ٤٩ 49 |
At this, all the guests of Adonijah arose in terror and scattered.
| وَمَلأَ الْخَوْفُ أَدُونِيَّا مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَانْطَلَقَ مُسْرِعاً وَتَمَسَّكَ بِقُرُونِ الْمَذْبَحِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to take hold of the horns of the altar.
| فَقِيلَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: «هَا هُوَ أَدُونِيَّا قَدْ مَلأَهُ الْخَوْفُ مِنْكَ، وَقَدْ لَجَأَ إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ يَتَمَسَّكُ بِقُرُونِهِ وَيَقُولُ: لِيَحْلِفْ لِي الْيَوْمَ سُلَيْمَانُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْتُلُ عَبْدَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ». | ٥١ 51 |
It was reported to Solomon: “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, and he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon first swear to me not to put his servant to the sword.’”
| فَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «إِنْ أَثْبَتَ صِدْقَ وَلائِهِ فَإِنَّ شَعْرَةً وَاحِدَةً مِنْ رَأْسِهِ لَنْ تَسْقُطَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَضْمَرَ الْخِيَانَةَ وَالشَّرَّ فَإِنَّهُ حَتْماً يَمُوتُ». | ٥٢ 52 |
And Solomon replied, “If he is a man of character, not a single hair of his will fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he will die.”
| فَأَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ مَنْ أَحْضَرَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْمَذْبَحِ، فَأَتَى وَسَجَدَ لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ». | ٥٣ 53 |
So King Solomon summoned Adonijah down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who said to him, “Go to your home.”
