And his father never at any time checked him, saying, Why hast thou done ? and he was also very handsome in appearance, and his mother bore him after Abessalom.
7
And he conferred with Joab the son of Saruia, and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed after Adonias.

But Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Resi, and the mighty men of David, did not follow Adonias.
9
And Adonias sacrificed sheep and calves and lambs by the stone of Zoelethi, which was near Rogel: and he called all his brethren, and all the adult of Juda, servants of the king.
