Now Adonijah, the son of Haggith, went to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. Bathsheba asked him,“ Do you come peacefully?” He answered,“ Yes, peacefully.”

Adonijah was the son of David’s wife Haggith. He went to Bathsheba. She was Solomon’s mother. She asked Adonijah,“ Have you come in peace?” He answered,“ Yes. I’ve come in peace.”

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said,“ Do you come peacefully?” He said,“ Peacefully.”

Now Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. She asked,“ Do you come peacefully?”“ Peacefully,” he replied,

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath- sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

Haggith’s son Adonijah visited Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. She asked,“ Do you come in peace?” He answered,“ Yes.”

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said,“ Do you come peaceably?” He said,“ Peaceably.

David went out to meet them and said,“ If you have come in peace to help me, we are friends. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when I am innocent, then may the God of our ancestors see it and punish you.”Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the leader of the Thirty, and he said,“ We are yours, David! We are on your side, son of Jesse. Peace and prosperity be with you, and success to all who help you, for your God is the one who helps you.” So David let them join him, and he made them officers over his troops.

About that time David’s son Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith, began boasting,“ I will make myself king.” So he provided himself with chariots and charioteers and recruited fifty men to run in front of him.Now his father, King David, had never disciplined him at any time, even by asking,“ Why are you doing that?” Adonijah had been born next after Absalom, and he was very handsome.Adonijah took Joab son of Zeruiah and Abiathar the priest into his confidence, and they agreed to help him become king.But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s personal bodyguard refused to support Adonijah.Adonijah went to the Stone of Zoheleth near the spring of En rogel, where he sacrificed sheep, cattle, and fattened calves. He invited all his brothers— the other sons of King David— and all the royal officials of Judah.But he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the king’s bodyguard or his brother Solomon.

Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, so he rushed to the sacred tent and grabbed on to the horns of the altar.Word soon reached Solomon that Adonijah had seized the horns of the altar in fear, and that he was pleading,“ Let King Solomon swear today that he will not kill me!”Solomon replied,“ If he proves himself to be loyal, not a hair on his head will be touched. But if he makes trouble, he will die.”So King Solomon summoned Adonijah, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed respectfully before King Solomon, who dismissed him, saying,“ Go on home.”

So a horseman went out to meet Jehu and said,“ The king wants to know if you are coming in peace.” Jehu replied,“ What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman called out to the king,“ The messenger has met them, but he’s not returning.”So the king sent out a second horseman. He rode up to them and said,“ The king wants to know if you come in peace.” Again Jehu answered,“ What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!”The watchman exclaimed,“ The messenger has met them, but he isn’t returning either! It must be Jehu son of Nimshi, for he’s driving like a madman.”“ Quick! Get my chariot ready!” King Joram commanded. Then King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah rode out in their chariots to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of land that had belonged to Naboth of Jezreel.King Joram demanded,“ Do you come in peace, Jehu?” Jehu replied,“ How can there be peace as long as the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother, Jezebel, are all around us?”

So Samuel did as the Lord instructed. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town came trembling to meet him.“ What’s wrong?” they asked.“ Do you come in peace?”“ Yes,” Samuel replied.“ I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Purify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then Samuel performed the purification rite for Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice, too.

“ Whenever you enter someone’s home, first say,‘ May God’s peace be on this house.’If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you.
