For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, Long live king Adonijah.

Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to King Adonijah!

διοτι κατεβη σημερον και εσφαξε βοας και σιτευτα και προβατα εν αφθονια, και εκαλεσε παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως και τους στρατηγους και Αβιαθαρ τον ιερεα· και ιδου, τρωγουσι και πινουσιν ενωπιον αυτου και λεγουσι, Ζητω ο βασιλευς Αδωνιας·

For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
