3 Kingdoms 1

1And king David was old and advanced in days, and they covered him with clothes, and he was not warmed.ΚΑΙ ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκὼς ἡμέραις, καὶ περιέβαλλον αὐτὸν ἱματίοις, καὶ οὐκ ἐθερμαίνετο.

2And his servants said, Let them seek for the king a young virgin, and she shall wait on the king, and cherish him, and lie with him, and my lord the king shall be warmed.Καὶ εἶπον οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ, ζητησάτωσαν τῷ βασιλεῖ παρθένον νεάνιδα, καὶ παραστήσεται τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτὸν θάλπουσα, καὶ κοιμηθήσεται μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ θερμανθήσεται ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς.

3So they sought for a fair damsel out of all the coasts of Israel; and they found Abisag the Somanite, and they brought her to the king.Καὶ ἐζήτησαν νεάνιδα καλὴν ἐκ παντὸς ὁρίου Ἰσραήλ· καὶ εὗρον τὴν Ἀβισὰγ τὴν Σωμανίτιν, καὶ ἤνεγκαν αὐτὴν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα.

4And the damsel was extremely beautiful, and she cherished the king, and ministered to him, but the king knew her not.Καὶ ἡ νεᾶνις καλὴ ἕως σφόδρα· καὶ ἦν θάλπουσα τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἐλειτούργει αὐτῷ· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτήν.

5And Adonias the son of Aggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king; and he * prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.Καὶ Ἀδωνίας υἱὸς Ἀγγὶθ ἐπῄρετο, λέγων, ἐγὼ βασιλεύσω· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς, καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας παρατρέχειν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.

6And his father never at any time checked him, saying, Why have you done thus? and he was also very handsome in appearance, and his mother bore him after Abessalom.Καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκώλυσεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ οὐδέποτε, λέγων, διατί σὺ ἐποίησας; καὶ γε αὐτὸς ὡραῖος τῇ ὄψει σφόδρα, καὶ αὐτὸν ἔτεκεν ὀπίσω Ἀβεσσαλώμ.

7And he conferred with Joab the son of Saruia, and with Abiathar the priest, and they † followed after Adonias.Καὶ ἐγένοντο οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ μετὰ Ἰωὰβ τοῦ υἱοῦ Σαρουίας, καὶ μετὰ Ἀβιάθαρ τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ ἐβοήθουν ὀπίσω Ἀδωνίου.

8But Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Resi, and the ‡ mighty men of David, did not follow Adonias.Καὶ Σαδὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ Νάθαν ὁ προφήτης, καὶ Σεμεῒ, καὶ Ῥησὶ, καὶ υἱοὶ δυνατοὶ τοῦ Δαυὶδ, οὐκ ἦσαν ὀπίσω Ἀδωνίου.

9And Adonias sacrificed sheep and calves and lambs by the § stone of Zoelethi, which was near ** Rogel: and he called all his brethren, and all the adult men of Juda, servants of the king.Καὶ ἐθυσίασεν Ἀδωνίας πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους καὶ ἄρνας μετὰ αἰθῆ τοῦ Ζωελεθὶ, ὃς ἦν ἐχόμενα τῆς Ῥωγήλ· καὶ ἐκάλεσε πάντας τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἁδροὺς Ἰούδα παῖδας τοῦ βασιλέως.

10But Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not call.Καὶ Νάθαν τὸν προφήτην, καὶ Βαναίαν, καὶ τοὺς δυνατοὺς, καὶ τὸν Σαλωμὼν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐκάλεσε.

11And Nathan spoke to Bersabee the mother of Solomon, saying, Have you not heard that Adonias the son of Aggith †† reigns, and our lord David ‡‡ knows it not?Καὶ εἶπε Νάθαν πρὸς Βηρσαβεὲ μητέρα Σαλωμὼν, λέγων, οὐκ ἤκουσας ὅτι ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀδωνίας υἱὸς Ἀγγὶθ, καὶ ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν Δαυὶδ οὐκ ἔγνω;

12And now come, let me, I pray, give you counsel, and you shall rescue your life, and the life of your son Solomon.Καὶ νῦν δεῦρο, συμβουλεύσω σοι δὴ συμβουλίαν, καὶ ἐξελοῦ τὴν ψυχήν σου, καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν τοῦ υἱοῦ σου Σαλωμών.

13Haste, and go in to king David, and you shall speak to him, saying, Have not you, my lord, O king, sworn to your handmaid, saying, Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then does Adonias reign?Δεῦρο εἴσελθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτὸν, λέγουσα, οὐχὶ σὺ κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ ὤμοσας τῇ δούλῃ σου, λέγων, ὅτι ὁ υἱός σου Σαλωμὼν βασιλεύσει μετʼ ἐμέ, καὶ αὐτὸς καθιεῖται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου; καὶ τί ὅτι ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀδωνίας;

14And behold, while you are still speaking there with the king, I also will come in after you, and will §§ confirm your words.Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔτι λαλούσης σου ἐκεῖ μετα τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσελεύσομαι ὀπίσω σου, καὶ πληρώσω τοὺς λόγους σου.

15So Bersabee went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old, and Abisag the Somanite was ministering to the king.Καὶ εἴσῆλθε Βηρσαβεὲ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸ ταμεῖον· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς πρεσβύτης σφόδρα· καὶ Ἀβισὰλ ἡ Σωμανῖτις ἦν λειτουργοῦσα τῷ βασιλεῖ.

16And Bersabee bowed, and did obeisance to the king; and the king said, What is your request?Καὶ ἔκυψε Βηρσαβεὲ, καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ βασιλεῖ· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς, τί ἔστι σοί;

17And she said, My lord, you did swear by the Lord your God to your handmaid, saying, Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and shall sit upon my throne.Ἡ δὲ εἶπε, κύριε, σὺ ὤμοσας ἐν Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου τῇ δούλῃ σου, λέγων, ὅτι ὁ υἱός σου Σαλωμὼν βασιλεύσει μετʼ ἐμέ, καὶ καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου.

18And now, behold, Adonias reigns, and you, my lord, O king, know it not.Καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ Ἀδωνίας ἐβασίλευσε, καὶ σὺ κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ οὐκ ἔγνως.

19And he has sacrificed calves and lambs and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander-in-chief of the host; but Solomon your servant he has not called.Καὶ ἐθυσίασε μόσχους καὶ ἄρνας καὶ πρόβατα εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ ἐκάλεσε πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ Ἀβιάθαρ τὸν ἱερέα, καὶ Ἰωὰβ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως· καὶ τὸν Σαλωμὼν τὸν δοῦλόν σου οὐκ ἐκάλεσε.

20And you, my lord, O king, —the eyes of all Israel are upon you, to tell them who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him.Καὶ σὺ κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς σέ, ἀπάγγειλαι αὐτοῖς τίς καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως μετʼ αὐτόν.

21And it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son shall be offenders.Καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν κοιμηθῇ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσομαι ἐγὼ καὶ Σαλωμὼν ὁ υἱός μου ἁμαρτωλοί.

22And behold, while she was yet talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came. And it was reported to the king,Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔτι αὐτῆς λαλούσης μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ Νάθαν ὁ προφήτης ἦλθε.

23Behold, Nathan the prophet is here: and he came in to the king's presence, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the ground.Καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἰδοὺ Νάθαν ὁ προφήτης· καὶ εἰσῆλθε κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ βασιλεῖ κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.

24And Nathan said, My lord, O king, did you say, Adonias shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?Καὶ εἶπε Νὰθαν, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, σὺ εἶπας, Ἀδωνίας βασιλεύσει ὀπίσω μου, καὶ αὐτὸς καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου;

25For he has gone down today, and has sacrificed calves and lambs and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and the chiefs of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they said, Long live king Adonias.Ὅτι κατέβη σήμερον, καὶ ἐθυσίασε μόσχους καὶ ἄρνας καὶ πρόβατα εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ ἐκάλεσε πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ Ἀβιάθαρ τὸν ἱερέα· καὶ ἰδού εἰσιν ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν, ζήτω ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀδωνίας.

26But he has not invited me your servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Solomon your servant.Καὶ ἐμὲ αὐτὸν τὸν δοῦλόν σου, καὶ Σαδὼκ τὸν ἱερέα, καὶ Βαναίαν υἱὸν Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ Σαλωμὼν τὸν δοῦλόν σου, οὐκ ἐκάλεσεν.

27*** Has this matter happened by the authority of my lord the king, and have you not made known to your servant who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him?Εἰ διὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως γέγονε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώρισας τῷ δούλῳ σου τίς καθήσεται ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον τοῦ κυρίου μου βασιλέως μετʼ αὐτόν;

28And king David answered and said, Call me Bersabee: and she came in before the king, and stood before him.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ, καὶ εἶπε, καλέσατέ μοι τὴν Βηρσαβεέ· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.

29And the king swore, and said, As the Lord lives who redeemed my soul out of all affliction,Καὶ ὤμοσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ εἶπε, ζῇ Κύριος ὃς ἐλυτρώσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ πάσης θλίψεως,

30as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.ὅτι καθὼς ὤμοσά σοι ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, ὅτι Σαλωμὼν ὁ υἱός σου βασιλεύσει μετʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ αὐτὸς καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου ἀντʼ ἐμοῦ, ὅτι οὕτω ποιήσω τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ.

31And Bersabee bowed with her face to the ground, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.Καὶ ἔκυψε Βηρσαβεὲ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ εἶπε, ζήτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

32And king David said, Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas the son of Jodae: and they came in before the king.Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυίδ, Καλέσατέ μοι Σαδὼκ τὸν ἱερέα, καὶ Νάθαν τὸν προφήτην, καὶ Βαναίαν υἱὸν Ἰωδαέ καὶ εἰσῆλθον ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως.

33And the king said to them, Take the servants of your lord with you, and mount my son Solomon upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gion.Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτοῖς, λάβετε τοὺς δούλους τοῦ κυρίου ὑμῶν μεθʼ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπιβιβάσατε τὸν υἱόν μου Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον τὴν ἐμὴν, καὶ καταγάγετε αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν Γιὼν,

34And there let Sadoc the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him to be king over Israel, and do you sound the trumpet, and you shall say, Let king Solomon live.καὶ χρισάτω αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ Σαδὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ Νάθαν ὁ προφήτης εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ σαλπίσατε κερατίνῃ, καὶ ἐρεῖτε, ζήτω ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμών.

35And he shall sit upon my throne, and reign in my stead: and I have given charge that he should be for a prince over Israel and Juda.Καὶ καθήσεται ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου, καὶ βασιλεύσει ἀντʼ ἐμοῦ· καὶ ἐγὼ ἐνετειλάμην τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδαν.

36And Banaeas the son of Jodae answered the king and said, So let it be: may the Lord God of my lord the king confirm it.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ εἶπε, γένοιτο οὕτως· πιστώσαι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως·

37As the Lord was with my lord the king, so let him be with Solomon, and let him ††† exalt his throne beyond the throne of my lord king David.καθὼς ἦν Κύριος μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως, οὕτως εἴη μετὰ Σαλωμὼν, καὶ μεγαλύναι τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ τὸν θρόνον τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυίδ.

38And Sadoc the priest went down, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas son of Jodae, and the Cherethite, and the Phelethite, and they mounted Solomon upon the mule of king David, and led him away to Gion.Καὶ κατέβη Σαδὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ Νάθαν ὁ προφήτης, καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ ὁ Χερεθὶ, καὶ ὁ Φελεθὶ, καὶ ἐπεκάθισαν τὸν Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν Γιών.

39And Sadoc the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon, and blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Let king Solomon live.Καὶ ἔλαβε Σαδὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ κέρας τοῦ ἐλαίου ἐκ τῆς σκηνῆς, καὶ ἔχρισε τὸν Σαλωμὼν, καὶ ἐσάλπισε τῇ κερατίνῃ· καὶ εἶπε πᾶς ὁ λαός, ζήτω ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμών.

40And all the people went up after him, and they danced in choirs, and rejoiced with great joy, and the earth ‡‡‡ quaked with their voice.Καὶ ἀνέβη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐχόρευον ἐν χοροῖς καὶ εὐφραινόμενοι εὐφροσύνην μεγάλην, καὶ ἐῤῥάγη ἡ γῆ ἐν τῇ φωνῇ αὐτῶν.

41And Adonias and all his guests heard, and they had just left off eating: and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and said, What means the voice of the city in tumult?Καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἀδωνίας καὶ πάντες οἱ κλητοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτοὶ συνετέλεσαν φαγεῖν· καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἰωὰβ τὴν φωνὴν τῆς κερατίνης, καὶ εἶπε, τίς ἡ φωνὴ τῆς πόλεως ἠχούσης;

42While he was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came in: and Adonias said, Come in, for you are a mighty man, and you come to bring glad tidings.Ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος, καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Ἀβιάθαρ τοῦ ἱερέως εἰσῆλθε· καὶ εἶπεν Ἀδωνίας, εἴσελθε, ὅτι ἀνὴρ δυνάμεως εἶ σὺ, καὶ ἀγαθὰ εὐαγγέλισαι.

43And Jonathan answered and said, Verily our lord king David has made Solomon king:Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ εἶπε, καὶ μάλα ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἐβασίλευσε τὸν Σαλωμὼν,

44and the king has sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and the Cherethite, and the Phelethite, and they have mounted him on the king's mule;καὶ ἀπέστειλε μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Σαδὼκ τὸν ἱερέα, καὶ Νάθαν τὸν προφήτην, καὶ Βαναίαν τὸν υἱὸν Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ τὸν Χερεθὶ, καὶ τὸν Φελεθὶ, καὶ ἐπεκάθισαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον τοῦ βασιλέως·

45and Sadoc the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him in Gion, and have gone up thence rejoicing, and the city resounded: this is the sound which you have heard.Καὶ ἔχρισαν αὐτὸν Σαδὼκ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ Νάθαν ὁ προφήτης ἐν τῇ Γιὼν, καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκεῖθεν εὐφραινόμενοι, καὶ ἤχησεν ἡ πόλις· αὕτη ἡ φωνὴ ἣν ἠκούσατε.

46And Solomon is seated upon the throne of the kingdom.Καὶ ἐκάθισε Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ θρόνον βασιλείας.

47And the servants of the king have gone in to bless our lord king David, saying, God §§§ make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne; and the king worshipped upon his bed.Καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ βασιλέως εὐλογῆσαι τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ, λέγοντες, ἀγαθύναι ὁ Θεὸς τὸ ὄνομα Σαλωμὼν ὑπὲρ τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ μεγαλύναι τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ τὸν θρόνον σου· καὶ προσεκύνησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν κοίτην.

48Moreover thus said the king, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has this day * appointed one of my seed sitting on my throne, and my eyes see it.Καί γε οὕτως εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς, εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ὃς ἔδωκε σήμερον ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματός μου καθήμενον ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου μου, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου βλέπουσι.

49And all the guests of Adonias were dismayed, and every man went his way.Καὶ ἐξέστησαν πάντες οἱ κλητοὶ τοῦ Ἀδωνίου, καὶ ἦλθον ἀνὴρ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ.

50And Adonias feared because of Solomon, and arose, and departed, and laid hold on the horns of the altar.Καὶ Ἀδωνίας ἐφοβήθη ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαλωμὼν, καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπῆλθε καὶ ἐπελάβετο τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.

51And it was reported to Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonias fears king Solomon, and holds the horns of the altar, saying, Let Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.Καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ Σαλωμὼν, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ Ἀδωνίας ἐφοβήθη τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμὼν, καὶ κατέχει τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, λέγων, ὀμοσάτω μοι σήμερον Σαλωμὼν, εἰ οὐ θανατώσει τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.

52And Solomon said, If he should be a valiant man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the ground; but if evil be found in him, he shall die.Καὶ εἶπε Σαλωμών, ἐὰν γένηται εἰς υἱὸν δυνάμεως, εἰ πεσεῖται τῶν τριχῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἐὰν κακία εὑρεθῇ ἐν αὐτῷ, θανατωθήσεται.

53And king Solomon sent, and they brought him away from the altar; and he went in and did obeisance to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν, καὶ κατήνεγκαν αὐτὸν ἀπάνωθεν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου· καὶ εἰσῆλθε, καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμών· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαλωμὼν, δεῦρο εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου.
