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.

5 Now Adonijah,(A) whose mother was Haggith, put himself forward and said, “I will be king.” So he got chariots(B) and horses[a] ready, with fifty men to run ahead of him. 6 (His father had never rebuked(C) him by asking, “Why do you behave as you do?” He was also very handsome and was born next after Absalom.)
7 Adonijah conferred with Joab(D) son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar(E) the priest, and they gave him their support.
