24 Then Samuel said to all the people: “Have YOU seen the one whom Jehovah has chosen,+ that there is none like him among all the people?” And all the people began to shout and say: “Let the king live!”+

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!’+

12 Then he brought the son+ of the king out and put upon him the diadem+ and the Testimony;+ and so they made* him king+ and anointed* him.+ And they began to clap their hands+ and say: “Let the king live!”+

4 At that the Chal·deʹans spoke to the king in the Ar·a·maʹic language:*+ “O king, live on even for times indefinite.+ Say what the dream is to your servants, and we shall show the very interpretation.”+
