1 Kings 1:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 ¶ Then Adonijah the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying, I will be king. And he got him chariots and horsemen, and [a]fifty men to run before him.
6 And his father would not displease him from his [b]childhood, to say, Why hast thou done so? And he was a very goodly man, and his mother bare him next after Absalom.
7 And he [c]took counsel of Joab the son of Zeruiah, and of Abiathar the Priest: and they [d]helped forward Adonijah.
