9 Eventually Ad·o·niʹjah held a sacrifice+ of sheep and cattle and fatlings close by the stone of Zoʹhe·leth,* which is beside En-roʹgel,+ and he proceeded to invite all his brothers the king’s sons+ and all the men of Judah the king’s servants;

19 So he sacrificed bulls and fatlings and sheep in great quantity and invited all the sons of the king+ and A·biʹa·thar+ the priest and Joʹab+ the chief of the army; but Solʹo·mon your servant he has not invited.+

25 For he has today gone down that he might sacrifice+ bulls and fatlings and sheep in great quantity and might invite all the sons of the king and the chiefs of the army and A·biʹa·thar the priest;+ and there they are eating and drinking before him and they keep saying, ‘Let King Ad·o·niʹjah live!’+
