Abishag cherishes David in his extreme age |
Adonijah, David's darling, usurps the kingdom |
By the council of Nathan |
Bathsheba moves the king |
And Nathan seconds her |
David renews his oath to Bathsheba |
Solomon, by David's appointment, |
being anointed king by Zadok and Nathan, the people triumph |
Jonathan bringing the news, Adonijah's guests fly |
Adonijah, flying to the horns of the altar, is dismissed by Solomon |
