王位之爭
1大衛王年紀老邁,雖然蓋了幾層被子,仍然覺得冷. 2他的臣僕建議:「不如選一位少女進宮伺候,照顧我主我王,讓她睡在王懷中給王取暖.」
3於是,他們在以色列全國尋找美貌女子,找到了一位名叫雅比莎的書念少女,把她帶到王那裡. 4這女子長得花容月貌,她照顧,伺候王,但王沒有與她同房.
5那時,哈姬的兒子亞多尼雅妄自尊大,說:「我必做王.」他為自己製備了車輛和騎兵,派五十人在前面開路. 6他父親從不干涉,責問他:「你這是做什麼?」他是押沙龍的弟弟,長得英俊非凡.
7亞多尼雅與洗魯雅的兒子約押及祭司亞比亞他商議,二人都答應支持他. 8不過,撒督祭司,耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅,拿單先知,示每,利以和大衛的勇士卻沒有跟隨他.
9一天,亞多尼雅在隱·羅結附近的瑣希列磐石那裡宰了牛羊和肥牛犢獻祭,並邀請了眾王子和猶大的群臣. 10可是他沒有邀請拿單先知,比拿雅,大衛的勇士和他的兄弟所羅門.
11拿單對所羅門的母親拔示芭說:「你沒有聽說嗎?哈姬的兒子亞多尼雅做王了,我們的主大衛還不知道. 12事到如今,我有一個主意,可以保住你和你兒子所羅門的性命. 13你去見大衛王,對他說,『我主我王啊,你不是起誓說讓臣妾的兒子所羅門繼承王位嗎?怎麼現在亞多尼雅做了王呢?』 14你跟王說話的時候,我會進去證實你的話.」
15拔示芭就進內室去見年邁的王,書念的少女雅比莎正在伺候他. 16拔示芭向王屈身下拜.王問道:「你有什麼事嗎?」 17拔示芭回答說:「我主啊,你曾經憑你的上帝耶和華起誓說讓臣妾的兒子所羅門繼承你的王位,坐你的寶座. 18但現在亞多尼雅已經稱王了,我主我王還不知道. 19他宰了許多牛羊和肥牛犢獻祭,邀請眾王子,亞比亞他祭司和約押元帥,卻沒有邀請你的僕人所羅門. 20我主我王啊!以色列舉國拭目以待,等著王來指定誰繼承王位. 21不然,到我主我王與祖先同眠之後,我和我兒所羅門必被定為罪人.」
22她與王正說話間,拿單先知進宮來了. 23有人奏告王,說:「拿單先知來了.」拿單來到王面前,俯伏在地, 24說:「我主我王啊,你已經宣佈讓亞多尼雅繼承你的王位,坐你的寶座嗎? 25他今天宰了許多牛羊和肥犢獻祭,宴請眾王子,將領和亞比亞他祭司,他們正在他那裡一邊吃喝一邊說,『亞多尼雅王萬歲!』 26但他沒有邀請臣僕我,撒督祭司,耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅和你的僕人所羅門. 27這是我主我王的旨意嗎?王還沒有對臣僕們說過誰繼承王位.」
28於是,大衛王召見拔示芭.拔示芭立刻晉見,侍立在王面前. 29王起誓說:「我憑救我脫離一切苦難的永活的耶和華起誓, 30我今天必實現我憑以色列的上帝耶和華向你起的誓.你的兒子所羅門必繼承王位,坐在我的寶座上.」
31拔示芭就向王俯伏下拜說:「我主我王萬歲!」
32大衛王又召見撒督祭司,拿單先知和耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅.他們都來到王面前. 33王囑咐道:「你們要率領我的隨從,讓我兒所羅門騎上我的騾子,護送他下到基訓. 34撒督祭司和拿單先知要在那裡膏立他為以色列王.你們要吹響號角,高喊,『所羅門王萬歲!』 35然後,你們要隨他回來,他要登基,繼承我的王位.我已立他做以色列和猶大的君王了.」
36耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅說:「遵命,願我主我王的上帝耶和華成全這事. 37耶和華怎樣與我主我王同在,願祂也照樣與所羅門同在,使他的國比我主大衛王的國更強大.」 38於是,撒督祭司,拿單先知,耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅,以及基利提人和比利提人請所羅門騎上大衛王的騾子,護送他前往基訓. 39撒督祭司從聖幕裡拿來盛膏油的角,膏立所羅門為王.他們吹響號角,民眾高聲歡呼:「所羅門王萬歲!」 40眾人浩浩蕩蕩地隨著所羅門回京,一路上吹笛歡呼,聲音震動大地. 41亞多尼雅和他的眾賓客剛剛飲宴完畢,聽見了這聲音.約押聽見號角聲,便問:「城裡為什麼如此喧鬧?」 42就在這時候,亞比亞他祭司的兒子約拿單來了,亞多尼雅說:「進來!你是個忠勇的人,一定帶來了好消息.」
43約拿單說:「我們的主大衛王已經立所羅門為王了. 44王派撒督祭司,拿單先知,耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅,以及基利提人和比利提人護送所羅門騎上王的騾子. 45撒督祭司和拿單先知在基訓膏立他為王,他們一路上歡呼著回來了,全城轟動.你們聽到的就是他們的聲音. 46所羅門已經登基掌權, 47王的臣僕也來向我們的主大衛王道喜說,『願王的上帝使所羅門比王更聲名顯赫,使他的國比王的國更強大.』王在床上俯伏敬拜, 48說,『以色列的上帝耶和華當受稱頌,因為祂讓我親眼看見我的繼承人今天登基.』」
49亞多尼雅的眾賓客聽後,嚇得四散而去. 50亞多尼雅懼怕所羅門,就去抓住祭壇的角. 51有人告訴所羅門:「亞多尼雅懼怕王,現在正抓住祭壇的角,要王今天起誓不要殺他.」
52所羅門說:「如果他是個忠義的人,必毫髮無損;如果他作惡,必死無疑.」 53於是,所羅門王便派人去把亞多尼雅從祭壇上帶下來.亞多尼雅前來向所羅門王俯伏下拜,所羅門對他說:「你回家去吧.」
