1 Kings 1

1 Now king David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not get warm.

١ وَشَاخَ الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ وَطَعَنَ فِي السِّنِّ، فَكَانُوا يُدَثِّرُونَهُ بِالأَغْطِيَةِ فَلا يَشْعُرُ بِالدِّفْءِ.

2 Therefore his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get warm.

٢ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبِيدُهُ: «لِيَلْتَمِسْ سَيِّدُنَا الْمَلِكُ فَتَاةً عذْرَاءَ تَخْدُمُكَ، وَتَعْتَنِي بِكَ وَتَضْطَجِعُ فِي حِضْنِكَ، فَتَبْعَثُ فِيكَ الدِّفْءَ».

3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the land of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

٣ فَبَحَثُوا لَهُ عَنْ فَتَاةٍ جَمِيلَةٍ فِي أَرْجَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَعَثَرُوا عَلَى أَبِيشَجَ الشُّونَمِيَّةِ فَأَحْضَرُوهَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ.

4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.

٤ وَكَانَتِ الْفَتَاةُ بَارِعَةَ الْجَمَالِ، فَصَارَتْ لَهُ حَاضِنَةً، تَقُومُ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ الْمَلِكَ لَمْ يُعَاشِرْهَا.

5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

٥ وَعَظَّمَ أَدُونِيَّا ابْنُ حَجِّيثَ نَفْسَهُ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا أَمْلِكُ»، وَجَهَّزَ لِنَفْسِهِ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَفُرْسَاناً وَاسْتَأْجَرَ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلاً يَجْرُونَ أَمَامَ مَوْكِبِهِ.

6 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very handsome man; and his mother bore him after Absalom.

٦ وَلَمْ يُغْضِبْهُ أَبُوهُ قَطُّ بِسُؤَالِهِ: «لِمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ هَكَذَا؟» وَكَانَ أَدُونِيَّا وَسِيمَ الطَّلْعَةِ، وَقَدْ أَنْجَبَتْهُ أُمُّهُ بَعْدَ أَبْشَالُومَ.

7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.

٧ وَتَدَاوَلَ الأَمْرَ مَعَ يُوآبَ بْنِ صُرُوِيَّةَ وَأَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنِ فَأَعَانَاهُ،

8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

٨ وَأَمَّا صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَنَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ وَشِمْعِي وَرِيعِي وَسِوَاهُمْ مِنَ الأَبْطَالِ مِنْ رِجَالِ دَاوُدَ فَلَمْ يَنْسَاقُوا مَعَهُ.

9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and invited all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s servants:

٩ وَتَوَجَّهَ أَدُونِيَّا إِلَى عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ حَيْثُ ذَبَحَ غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَمُسَمَّنَاتٍ عِنْدَ حَجَرِ الزَّاحِفَةِ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ، وَجَمِيعَ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا مِنْ حَاشِيَةِ دَاوُدَ،

10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.

١٠ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْعُ نَاثَانَ النَّبِيَّ وَلا بَنَايَاهُو، وَلا الرِّجَالَ الأَبْطَالَ وَلا سُلَيْمَانَ أَخَاهُ.

11 Therefore Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?

١١ فَأَقْبَلَ نَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَثْشَبَعَ أُمِّ سُلَيْمَانَ قَائِلاً: «أَلَمْ تَعْلَمِي أَنَّ أَدُونِيَّا ابْنَ حَجِّيثَ قَدْ مَلَكَ، وَسَيِّدُنَا دَاوُدُ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ بِالأَمْرِ بَعْدُ؟

12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thy own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

١٢ فَالآنَ تَعَالَيْ أُشِيرُ عَلَيْكِ بِمَا يُنْقِذُكِ وَيُنْقِذُ ابْنَكِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

13 Go and enter in to king David, and say to him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear to thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

١٣ 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؟»

14 Behold, while thou art yet talking there with the king, I will also come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

١٤ وَفِيمَا أَنْتِ تُخَاطِبِينَ الْمَلِكَ أَدْخُلُ وَرَاءَكِ، وأُؤَيِّدُ كَلامَكِ.

15 And Bathsheba went to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king.

١٥ فَمَثَلَتْ بَثْشَبَعُ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ الشَّيْخِ فِي مُخْدَعِهِ، وَكَانَتْ أَبِيشَجُ الشُّونَمِيَّةُ قَائِمَةً عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ.

16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

١٦ فَأَكَبَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا وَسَجَدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ، فَسَأَلَهَا الْمَلِكُ: «مَالَكِ؟»

17 And she said to him, My lord, thou didst swear by the LORD thy God to thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

١٧ فَأَجَابَتْهُ: «لَقَدْ حَلَفْتَ لِي بِالرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي قَائِلاً:’إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ ابْنِي يُصْبِحُ مَلِكاً مِنْ بَعْدِي وَيَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِي‘

18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:

١٨ وَلَكِنْ هَا هُوَ أَدُونِيَّا قَدْ مَلَكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلْمٍ مِنْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ،

19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not invited.

١٩ وَقَدْ ذَبَحَ ثِيرَاناً وَمُسَمَّنَاتٍ وَغَنَماً بِوَفْرَةٍ، وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنَ، ويُوآبَ رَئِيسَ الْجَيْشِ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَدْعُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَبْدَكَ.

20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

٢٠ إِنَّ جَمِيعَ أَعْيُنِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ، تَتَّجِهُ نَحْوَكَ فِي انْتِظَارِ إِعْلانِكَ مَنْ يَخْلُفُ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ.

21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

٢١ وَإلَّا حَالَمَا يَنْضَمُّ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ إِلَى آبَائِهِ نُعَامَلُ أَنَا وَابْنِي سُلَيْمَانُ مُعَامَلَةَ الْمُذْنِبِينَ».

22 And, lo, while she was yet talking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

٢٢ وَفِيمَا هِيَ تُخَاطِبُ الْمَلِكَ جَاءَ نَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ،

23 And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

٢٣ فَقِيلَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «قَدْ جَاءَ نَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ». فَمَثَلَ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ،

24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

٢٤ وَتَسَاءَلَ نَاثَانُ: «هَلْ قُلْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ: إِنَّ أَدُونِيَّا يَمْلِكُ مِنْ بَعْدِي وَيَخْلُفُنِي عَلَى عَرْشِي؟

25 For he hath gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.

٢٥ 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!

26 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not invited.

٢٦ وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَصَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَبَنَايَاهُو بنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَسُلَيْمَانُ فَلَمْ يَدْعُنَا.

27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shown it to thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

٢٧ فَهَلْ صَدَرَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ عَنْ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُطْلِعَ عَبْدَكَ عَمَّنْ يَخْلُفُكَ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ؟»

28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.

٢٨ فَأَجَابَ الْمَلِكُ: «اسْتَدْعِ لِي بَثْشَبَعَ». فَمَثَلَتْ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ،

29 And the king swore, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

٢٩ فَحَلَفَ الْمَلِكُ: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَ نَفْسِي مِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقٍ،

30 Even as I swore to thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

٣٠ كَمَا أَقْسَمْتُ لَكِ بِالرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ابْنَكِ سُلَيْمَانَ يَمْلِكُ بَعْدِي وَيَخْلُفُنِي عَلَى عَرْشِي، هَكَذَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ».

31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.

٣١ فَخَرَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِدَةً لِلْمَلِكِ وَقَالَتْ: «لِيَحْيَ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ!»

32 And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

٣٢ وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ: «اسْتَدْعِ لِي صَادُوقَ الْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ النَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ». فَدَخَلُوا إِلَى حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ

33 The king also said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

٣٣ فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لَهُمْ: «خُذُوا مَعَكُمْ رِجَالَ حَاشِيَةِ سَيِّدِكُمْ، وَأَرْكِبُوا سُلَيْمَانَ ابْنِي عَلَى بَغْلَتِي الْخَاصَّةِ، وَانْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى جِيحُونَ.

34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.

٣٤ وَلْيَمْسَحْهُ هُنَاكَ صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَانْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقِ هَاتِفِينَ:’لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ‘.

35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

٣٥ ثُمَّ اصْعَدُوا وَرَاءَهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ فَيَجْلِسَ عَلَى عَرْشِي، فَهُوَ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ لِيَخْلُفَنِي عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا».

36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.

٣٦ فَقَالَ بَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ لِلْمَلِكِ: «آمِين! لِيَكُنْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ!

37 As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so let him be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

٣٧ وَكَمَا كَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ لِيَكُنْ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَيَجْعَلْ عَرْشَهُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ عَرْشِ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ».

38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.

٣٨ وَمَضَى صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنُ يَهُويَادَاعَ وَضُبَّاطُ حَرَسِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَرْكَبُوا سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ، وَانْطَلَقُوا بِهِ إِلَى جِيحُونَ.

39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.

٣٩ فَأَخَذَ صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ قَرْنَ الدُّهْنِ مِنَ الْخَيْمَةِ وَمَسَحَ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَنَفَخُوا بِالْبُوقِ وَهَتَفَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ: «لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ».

40 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with the sound of them.

٤٠ وَصَعِدَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ وَرَاءَ سُلَيْمَانَ وَهُمْ يَعْزِفُونَ عَلَى النَّايِ هَاتِفِينَ فَرَحاً، حَتَّى ارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ أَصْوَاتِهِمْ.

41 And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had finished eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?

٤١ وَسَمِعَ أَدُونِيَّا وَمَدْعُوُّوهُ جَمِيعاً أَصْوَاتَ الْهُتَافِ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَرَغُوا مِنَ الأَكْلِ، وَبَلَغَ نَفِيرُ الْبُوقِ مَسَامِعَ يُوآبَ فَتَساءَلَ: «مَا مَعْنَى هَذَا الضَّجِيجِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ؟»

42 And while he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said to him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.

٤٢ وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَسَاءَلُ جَاءَ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ أَبِيَاثَارَ الْكَاهِنِ، فَقَالَ أَدُونِيَّا: «تَعَالَ، فَأَنْتَ رَجُلٌ كَرِيمٌ تَحْمِلُ بَشَائِرَ خَيْرٍ».

43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.

٤٣ فَأَجَابَ يُونَاثَانُ أَدُونِيَّا: «لا إِنَّ سَيِّدَنَا الْمَلِكَ دَاوُدَ قَدْ نَصَّبَ سُلَيْمَانَ مَلِكاً،

44 And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king’s mule:

٤٤ وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ صَادُوقَ الْكَاهِنَ وَنَاثَانَ النَّبِيَّ وَبَنَايَاهُو بْنَ يَهُويَادَاعَ وضُبَّاطَ حَرَسِهِ، فَأَرْكَبُوهُ عَلَى بَغْلَةِ الْمَلِكِ،

45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they have come from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that ye have heard.

٤٥ وَمَسَحَهُ صَادُوقُ الْكَاهِنُ وَنَاثَانُ النَّبِيُّ مَلِكاً فِي جِيحُونَ، ثُمَّ صَعِدُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ فَرِحِينَ هَاتِفِينَ، حَتَّى مَلأَ ضَجِيجُهُمُ الْمَدِينَةَ. وَهَذَا هُوَ مَصْدَرُ الصَّوْتِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُمُوهُ.

46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.

٤٦ وَقَدْ جَلَسَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ الْمَمْلَكَةِ».

47 And moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.

٤٧ وَتَوَافَدَ رِجَالُ الْمَلِكِ دَاوُدَ لِتَهْنِئَتِهِ قَائِلِينَ: «لِيَجْعَلْ إِلَهُكَ اسْمَ سُلَيْمَانَ أَكْثَرَ شُهْرَةً مِنِ اسْمِكَ، وَعَرْشَهُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ». فَسَجَدَ الْمَلِكُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ

48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.

٤٨ قَائِلاً: «تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِي أَنْعَمَ عَلَيَّ بِمَنْ يَخْلُفُنِي عَلَى عَرْشِي وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ عَلَى قَيْدِ الْحَيَاةِ».

49 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and arose, and went every man his way.

٤٩ فَاعْتَرَتِ الرِّعْدَةُ جَمِيعَ مَدْعُوِّي أَدُونِيَّا، فَقَامُوا وَتَفَرَّقُوا كُلٌّ فِي سَبِيلِهِ.

50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

٥٠ وَمَلأَ الْخَوْفُ أَدُونِيَّا مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَانْطَلَقَ مُسْرِعاً وَتَمَسَّكَ بِقُرُونِ الْمَذْبَحِ.

51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me to day that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

٥١ 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».

52 And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.

٥٢ فَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: «إِنْ أَثْبَتَ صِدْقَ وَلائِهِ فَإِنَّ شَعْرَةً وَاحِدَةً مِنْ رَأْسِهِ لَنْ تَسْقُطَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَضْمَرَ الْخِيَانَةَ وَالشَّرَّ فَإِنَّهُ حَتْماً يَمُوتُ».

53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to thy house.

٥٣ فَأَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ مَنْ أَحْضَرَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْمَذْبَحِ، فَأَتَى وَسَجَدَ لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ».
