| 3 ܘܒܥܘ ܥܠܝܡܬܐ ܕܫܦܝܪܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܐܒܝܫܓ ܫܝܠܘܡܝܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗ ܠܡܠܟܐ | 3 So they sought a beautiful young woman in all the coasts of Israel, and they found Abisag a Sunamitess, and brought her to the king. |
| 4 ܘܥܠܝܡܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܚܙܘܗ ܛܒ ܘܗܘܬ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܡܫܡܫܢܝܬܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܐ ܠܗ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܗ | 4 And the damsel was exceeding beautiful, and she slept with the king: and served him, but the king did not know her. |

| 7 ܘܗܘܘ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܘܗܝ ܥܡ ܝܘܐܒ ܒܪ ܨܘܪܝܐ ܘܥܡ ܐܒܝܬܪ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܡܥܕܪܝܢ ܒܬܪ ܐܕܘܢܝܐ | 7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Sarvia, and with Abiathar the priest, who furthered Adonias's side. |

| 10 ܘܠܢܬܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܠܒܢܝܐ ܒܪ ܝܘܝܕܥ ܘܠܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܩܪܐ | 10 But Nathan the prophet, and Banaias, and all the valiant men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not. |

| 12 ܗܫܐ ܬܝ ܐܡܠܟܟܝ ܡܠ̣ܟܐ ܘܦܠܛܝ ܢܦܫܟܝ ܘܢܦܫܐ ܕܒܪܟܝ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ | 12 Now then come, take my counsel and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon. |

| 14 ܘܥܕ ܐܢܬܝ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܬܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܟܝ ܘܐܫܡܠܐ ܡ̈ܠܝܟܝ | 14 And while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I will come in after thee, and will fill up thy words. |

| 16 ܘܒܪܟܬ ܒܬܫܒܥ ܘܣܓܕܬ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܡܐ ܠܟܝ ܒܬܫܒܥ | 16 Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will? |

| 18 ܘܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܐܕܘܢܝܐ ܐܡܠܟ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܪܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܬ | 18 And behold now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it. |

| 26 ܘܠܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܥܒܕܟ ܘܠܨܕܘܩ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܒܢܝܐ ܒܪ ܝܘܝܕܥ ܘܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܥܒܕܟ ܠܐ ܩܪܐ | 26 But me thy servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Solomon thy servant he hath not invited. |

| 28 ܘܥܢܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܐܡܪ ܩܪܘ ܠܝ ܠܒܬܫܒܥ ܘܥܠܬ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܩܡܬ ܩܕܡ ܡܠܟܐ | 28 And king David answered and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him, |
| 29 ܘܝܡܐ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܚܝ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܦܪܩ ܢܦܫܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܥܩܐ | 29 The king swore and said: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress, |

| 36 ܘܥܢܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܒܪ ܝܘܝܕܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܩܕܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ | 36 And Banaias the son of Joiada answered the king, saying: Amen: so say the Lord the God of my lord the king. |

| 39 ܘܢܣܒ ܨܕܘܩ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܢܬܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܡܫܚܐ ܡܢ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܘܡܫܚܘܗܝ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܩܪܘ ܒܫܝܦܘܪܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܢܚܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ | 39 And Sadoc the priest took a horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon: and they sounded the trumpet, and all the people said: God save king Solomon. |

| 42 ܘܥܕ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܐ ܢܬܢ ܒܪ ܐܒܝܬܪ ܟܗܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܕܘܢܝܐ ܥܘܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܓܢܒܪ ܚܝܠܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܛܒܬܐ ܡܣܒܪ ܐܢܬ | 42 While he yet spoke, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news. |
| 43 ܘܥܢܐ ܢܬܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܕܘܢܝܐ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܪܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܡܠܟ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ | 43 And Jonathan answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord king David hath appointed Solomon king. |

| 46 ܘܐܦ ܝܬܒ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܥܠ ܟܘܪܣܝܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ | 46 Moreover Solomon sitteth upon the throne of the kingdom, |

And the king adored in his bed: |
| 48 ܘܐܦ ܡܠܟܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܒܪܐ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܕܢܬܒ ܥܠ ܟܘܪܣܝ ܘܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܚܙܝܢ | 48 And he said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing |
| 49 ܘܕܚܠܘ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܡܙܡܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܩܡܘ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܓܒܪ ܠܐܘܪܚܗ | 49 Then all the guests of Adonias were afraid, and they all arose and every man went his way. |

| 52 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܐܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܪ ܚܝܠܐ ܠܐ ܢܦܠ ܡܢ ܣܥܪܐ ܕܪܝܫܗ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܬܫܬܟܚ ܒܗ ܢܡܘܬ | 52 And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die. |
| 53 ܘܫܕܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܡܢ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܘܣܓܕ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܟ | 53 Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house. |
