Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 И҆ ца́рь даві́дъ бы́сть ста́ръ преше́дъ дни̑, и҆ ѡ҆дѣва́хꙋ є҆го̀ ри́зами (мно́гими), и҆ не согрѣва́шесѧ.
1 Now King David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn’t keep warm.
2 И҆ рѣ́ша ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ є҆мꙋ̀: да пои́щꙋтъ господи́нꙋ на́шемꙋ царю̀ дѣви́цы ю҆́ныѧ, и҆ предстои́тъ царе́ви, и҆ бꙋ́детъ грѣ́ющи є҆го̀, и҆ да лежи́тъ съ ни́мъ, и҆ согрѣ́етсѧ господи́нъ на́шъ ца́рь.
2 Therefore his servants said to him, “Let a young virgin be sought for my lord the king. Let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm.”
3 И҆ и҆ска́ша ѻ҆трокови́цы до́брыѧ ѿ всегѡ̀ предѣ́ла і҆и҃лева, и҆ ѡ҆брѣто́ша а҆вїса́гꙋ сꙋмантѧны́ню, и҆ приведо́ша ю҆̀ ко царю̀.
3 So they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
4 И҆ бѣ̀ ѻ҆трокови́ца добра̀ видѣ́нїемъ ѕѣлѡ̀: и҆ бы́сть грѣ́ющи царѧ̀ и҆ слꙋжа́ше є҆мꙋ̀: ца́рь же не позна̀ є҆ѧ̀.
4 The young lady was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and served him; but the king didn’t know her intimately.
5 И҆ а҆дѡ́нїа сы́нъ а҆ггі́ѳинъ вознесе́сѧ, глаго́лѧ: а҆́зъ и҆́мамъ ца́рствовати. И҆ сотворѝ себѣ̀ колєсни́цы и҆ ко́нники, и҆ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ мꙋже́й є҆́же ходи́ти пред̾ ни́мъ.
5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” Then he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
6 И҆ не возбранѝ є҆мꙋ̀ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀ никогда̀, глаго́лѧ: почто̀ сїѐ ты̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ; И҆ бѣ̀ то́й красе́нъ зра́комъ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ того̀ родѝ по а҆вессалѡ́мѣ.
6 His father had not displeased him at any time in saying, “Why have you done so?” and he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.
7 И҆ бѣ́ша совѣ́ти є҆гѡ̀ со і҆ѡа́вомъ сы́номъ сарꙋ́инымъ и҆ со а҆вїа́ѳаромъ і҆ере́омъ, и҆ помога́хꙋ в̾слѣ́дъ а҆дѡ́нїи.
7 He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him.
8 Садѡ́къ же і҆ере́й и҆ ване́а сы́нъ і҆ѡда́евъ, и҆ наѳа́нъ прⷪ҇ро́къ и҆ семе́й, и҆ рисі́й и҆ сы́нове си́льнїи даві́дѡвы не бы́ша по а҆дѡ́нїи.
8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
9 И҆ пожрѐ а҆дѡ́нїа ѻ҆́вцы и҆ тельцы̀ и҆ а҆́гнцы при ка́мени зѡеле́ѳѣ, и҆́же бѣ̀ бли́з̾ и҆сто́чника рѡги́лѧ: и҆ призва̀ всю̀ бра́тїю свою̀, сы́ны царє́вы, и҆ всѧ̑ мꙋ́жы і҆ꙋ́дѡвы, ѻ҆́троки царє́вы:
9 Adonijah killed sheep, cattle, and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants;
10 наѳа́на же прⷪ҇ро́ка и҆ ване́а и҆ си́льныхъ и҆ соломѡ́на бра́та своегѡ̀ не зва̀.
10 but he didn’t call Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother.
11 И҆ речѐ наѳа́нъ ко вирсаві́и ма́тери соломѡ́ни, глаго́лѧ: не слы́шала ли є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ воцари́сѧ а҆дѡ́нїа сы́нъ а҆ггі́ѳинъ, господи́нъ же на́шъ даві́дъ не вѣ́сть:
11 Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Haven’t you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn’t know it?
12 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆̀бо совѣща́ю тѝ совѣ́тъ, и҆ и҆зба́виши дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ и҆ дꙋ́шꙋ сы́на твоегѡ̀ соломѡ́на:
12 Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and your son Solomon’s life.
13 грѧдѝ, вни́ди къ царю̀ даві́дꙋ и҆ рече́ши къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лющи: не ты́ ли, го́споди мо́й царю̀, клѧ́лсѧ є҆сѝ рабѣ̀ твое́й, глаго́лѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ соломѡ́нъ сы́нъ тво́й и҆́мать ца́рствовати по мнѣ̀, и҆ то́й сѧ́детъ на престо́лѣ мое́мъ; и҆ что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ воцари́сѧ а҆дѡ́нїа;
13 Go in to King David, and tell him, ‘Didn’t you, my lord the king, swear to your servant, saying, “Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then does Adonijah reign?’
14 и҆ сѐ, є҆щѐ глаго́лющей тебѣ̀ та́мѡ со царе́мъ, и҆ а҆́зъ вни́дꙋ в̾слѣ́дъ тебє̀ и҆ допо́лню словеса̀ твоѧ̑.
14 Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm your words.”
15 И҆ вни́де вирсаві́а ко царю̀ въ ло́жницꙋ. И҆ ца́рь ста́ръ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ а҆вїса́гъ сꙋмантѧны́нѧ бѧ́ше слꙋжа́щи царю̀.
15 Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.
16 И҆ приклони́сѧ вирсаві́а и҆ поклони́сѧ царе́ви. И҆ речѐ ца́рь: что́ ти є҆́сть;
16 Bathsheba bowed and showed respect to the king. The king said, “What would you like?”
17 Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: го́споди мо́й царю̀, ты̀ клѧ́лсѧ є҆сѝ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ твои́мъ рабѣ̀ твое́й, глаго́лѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ сы́нъ тво́й соломѡ́нъ и҆́мать ца́рствовати по мнѣ̀, и҆ то́й сѧ́детъ на престо́лѣ мое́мъ:
17 She said to him, “My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your servant, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’
18 и҆ сѐ, нн҃ѣ а҆дѡ́нїа ца́рствꙋетъ, ты́ же, го́споди мо́й царю̀, не вѣ́си:
18 Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know it.
19 и҆ пожрѐ тельцы̀ и҆ а҆́гнцы и҆ ѻ҆́вцы во мно́жествѣ, и҆ созва̀ всѧ̑ сы́ны царє́вы, и҆ а҆вїа́ѳара жерца̀ и҆ і҆ѡа́ва кнѧ́зѧ си́лы, соломѡ́на же раба̀ твоегѡ̀ не призва̀:
19 He has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.
20 ты́ же, го́споди мо́й царю̀, ѻ҆́чи всегѡ̀ і҆и҃лѧ къ тебѣ̀: да возвѣсти́ши и҆̀мъ, кто̀ сѧ́детъ на престо́лѣ господи́на моегѡ̀ царѧ̀ по не́мъ:
20 You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
21 и҆ бꙋ́детъ є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆́снетъ господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь со ѻ҆тцы̑ свои́ми, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ а҆́зъ и҆ сы́нъ мо́й соломѡ́нъ грѣ́шни.
21 Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”
22 И҆ сѐ, є҆щѐ є҆́й глаго́лющей съ царе́мъ, и҆ наѳа́нъ прⷪ҇ро́къ прїи́де.
22 Behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
23 И҆ возвѣсти́ша царю̀, глаго́люще сѐ, наѳа́нъ прⷪ҇ро́къ. И҆ вни́де пред̾ лицѐ царе́во, и҆ поклони́сѧ царю̀ пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀ до землѝ,
23 They told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet!” When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
24 и҆ речѐ наѳа́нъ: го́споди мо́й царю̀, ты́ ли ре́клъ є҆сѝ: а҆дѡ́нїа да ца́рствꙋетъ по мнѣ̀, и҆ то́й да сѧ́детъ на престо́лѣ мое́мъ;
24 Nathan said, “My lord, King, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne’?
25 ꙗ҆́кѡ сни́де дне́сь и҆ закла̀ тельцы̀ и҆ а҆́гнцы и҆ ѻ҆́вцы во мно́жествѣ, и҆ созва̀ всѧ̑ сы́ны царє́вы и҆ кнѧ̑зи си́льныхъ, и҆ а҆вїа́ѳара і҆ере́а: и҆ сѐ, сꙋ́ть ꙗ҆дꙋ́ще и҆ пїю́ще пред̾ ни́мъ, и҆ рѣ́ша: да живе́тъ ца́рь а҆дѡ́нїа:
25 For he has gone down today, and has slain cattle, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 и҆ менѐ самаго̀ раба̀ твоего̀, и҆ садѡ́ка і҆ере́а, и҆ ване́а сы́на і҆ѡда́ева, и҆ соломѡ́на раба̀ твоего̀ не зва̀:
26 But he hasn’t called me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.
27 ѿ господи́на ли царѧ̀ моегѡ̀ бы́сть глаго́лъ се́й; и҆ не сказа́лъ є҆сѝ рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀, кто̀ сѧ́детъ на престо́лѣ господи́на моегѡ̀ царѧ̀ по не́мъ;
27 Was this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven’t shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
28 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ ца́рь даві́дъ и҆ речѐ: призови́те мѝ вирсаві́ю. И҆ вни́де (вирсаві́а) пред̾ царѧ̀ и҆ ста̀ пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀.
28 Then King David answered, “Call Bathsheba in to me.” She came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.
29 И҆ клѧ́тсѧ ца́рь и҆ речѐ: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆́же и҆зба́ви дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ ѿ всеѧ̀ печа́ли:
29 The king vowed and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
30 ꙗ҆́коже бо клѧ́хтисѧ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ бг҃омъ і҆и҃левымъ, глаго́лѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ соломѡ́нъ сы́нъ тво́й воцари́тсѧ по мнѣ̀, и҆ то́й сѧ́детъ на престо́лѣ мое́мъ вмѣ́стѡ менє̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ сотворю̀ є҆мꙋ̀ въ дне́шнїй де́нь.
30 most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today.”
31 И҆ преклони́сѧ вирсаві́а лице́мъ на зе́млю, и҆ поклони́сѧ царю̀ и҆ речѐ: да живе́тъ господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь даві́дъ во вѣ́ки.
31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth and showed respect to the king, and said, “Let my lord King David live forever!”
32 И҆ речѐ ца́рь даві́дъ: призови́те мнѣ̀ садѡ́ка жерца̀ и҆ наѳа́на прⷪ҇ро́ка, и҆ ване́а сы́на і҆ѡда́ева. И҆ внидо́ша пред̾ царѧ̀.
32 King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” They came before the king.
33 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ ца́рь: поими́те съ собо́ю рабы̑ господи́на ва́шегѡ, и҆ всади́те сы́на моего̀ соломѡ́на на мска̀ моего̀, и҆ веди́те є҆го̀ къ гїѡ́нꙋ,
33 The king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.
34 и҆ да пома́жетъ є҆го̀ та́мѡ садѡ́къ і҆ере́й и҆ наѳа́нъ прⷪ҇ро́къ въ царѧ̀ над̾ і҆и҃лемъ, и҆ вострꙋби́те трꙋбо́ю ро́жаною и҆ рече́те: да живе́тъ ца́рь соломѡ́нъ:
34 Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
35 и҆ и҆зыди́те в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ вни́детъ, и҆ сѧ́детъ на престо́лѣ мое́мъ, и҆ то́й воцари́тсѧ вмѣ́стѡ менє̀: и҆ а҆́зъ заповѣ́дахъ, да бꙋ́детъ властели́нъ над̾ і҆и҃лемъ и҆ і҆ꙋ́дою.
35 Then come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.”
36 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ ване́а сы́нъ і҆ѡда́евъ царю̀ и҆ речѐ: бꙋ́ди та́кѡ: да ᲂу҆тверди́тъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ глаго́лъ се́й господи́на моегѡ̀ царѧ̀:
36 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “Amen. May Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say so.
37 ꙗ҆́коже бѣ̀ гдⷭ҇ь со господи́номъ мои́мъ царе́мъ, та́кѡ да бꙋ́детъ и҆ съ соломѡ́номъ, и҆ да возвели́читъ престо́лъ є҆гѡ̀ па́че престо́ла господи́на моегѡ̀ царѧ̀ даві́да.
37 As Yahweh has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
38 И҆ сни́де садѡ́къ і҆ере́й и҆ наѳа́нъ прⷪ҇ро́къ, и҆ ване́а сы́нъ і҆ѡда́евъ, и҆ хереѳѳі̀ и҆ фелеѳѳі̀, и҆ всади́ша соломѡ́на на мска̀ царѧ̀ даві́да, и҆ возведо́ша є҆го̀ къ гїѡ́нꙋ:
38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.
39 и҆ взѧ̀ садѡ́къ і҆ере́й ро́гъ съ є҆ле́емъ ѿ ски́нїи, и҆ пома́за соломѡ́на, и҆ вострꙋбѝ трꙋбо́ю ро́жаною, и҆ рѣ́ша всѝ лю́дїе: да живе́тъ ца́рь соломѡ́нъ.
39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”
40 И҆ взыдо́ша всѝ лю́дїе в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ликова́ша въ ли́цѣхъ, и҆ веселѧ́хꙋсѧ весе́лїемъ вели́кимъ, и҆ разсѣ́десѧ землѧ̀ ѿ гла́са и҆́хъ.
40 All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.
41 И҆ слы́ша а҆дѡ́нїа и҆ всѝ зва́ннїи є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ті́и сконча́ша ᲂу҆жѐ ꙗ҆дꙋ́ще. И҆ слы́ша і҆ѡа́въ гла́съ трꙋбы̀ ро́жаны и҆ речѐ: кі́й гла́съ є҆́сть гра́да шꙋмѧ́ща;
41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”
42 И҆ є҆щѐ є҆мꙋ̀ глаго́лющꙋ, и҆ сѐ, і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ сы́нъ а҆вїа́ѳара і҆ере́а прїи́де. И҆ речѐ а҆дѡ́нїа: вни́ди, ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жъ си́лы ты̀ є҆сѝ, и҆ блага̑ѧ возвѣстѝ.
42 While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said, “Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.”
43 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ и҆ речѐ: и҆звѣ́стно, господи́нъ на́шъ ца́рь даві́дъ поста́ви соломѡ́на царе́мъ:
43 Jonathan answered Adonijah, “Most certainly our lord King David has made Solomon king.
44 и҆ посла̀ съ ни́мъ ца́рь садѡ́ка і҆ере́а и҆ наѳа́на прⷪ҇ро́ка, и҆ ване́а сы́на і҆ѡда́ева, и҆ хереѳѳі̀ и҆ фелеѳѳі̀, и҆ всади́ша є҆го̀ на мска̀ царе́ва:
44 The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king’s mule.
45 и҆ пома́заша є҆го̀ садѡ́къ і҆ере́й и҆ наѳа́нъ прⷪ҇ро́къ на ца́рство въ гїѡ́нѣ, и҆ взыдо́ша ѿтꙋ́дꙋ веселѧ́щесѧ, и҆ возшꙋмѣ̀ гра́дъ: се́й гла́съ, є҆го́же слы́шасте:
45 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 и҆ сѣ́де соломѡ́нъ на престо́лѣ ца́рстѣмъ:
46 Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.
47 и҆ внидо́ша рабѝ царє́вы благослови́ти господи́на на́шего царѧ̀ даві́да, глаго́люще: да ᲂу҆бл҃жи́тъ бг҃ъ и҆́мѧ соломѡ́на сы́на твоегѡ̀ па́че и҆́мене твоегѡ̀, и҆ да возвели́читъ престо́лъ є҆гѡ̀ па́че престо́ла твоегѡ̀: и҆ поклони́сѧ ца́рь на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ свое́мъ,
47 Moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;’ and the king bowed himself on the bed.
48 и҆ си́це речѐ ца́рь: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ, и҆́же дадѐ дне́сь ѿ сѣ́мене моегѡ̀ сѣдѧ́ща на престо́лѣ мое́мъ, и҆ ѻ҆́чи моѝ ви́дѧтъ.
48 Also thus said the king, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne today, my eyes even seeing it.’”
49 И҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ ᲂу҆́жасомъ, и҆ воста́ша всѝ зва́ннїи а҆дѡ́нїєвы, и҆ ѿи́де кі́йждо пꙋте́мъ свои́мъ.
49 All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.
50 И҆ а҆дѡ́нїа ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ ѿ лица̀ соломѡ́нѧ, и҆ воста̀ и҆ ѿи́де, и҆ ꙗ҆́тсѧ за ро́гъ ѻ҆лтарѧ̀.
50 Adonijah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and hung onto the horns of the altar.
51 И҆ возвѣсти́ша соломѡ́нꙋ, глаго́люще: сѐ, а҆дѡ́нїа ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ царѧ̀ соломѡ́на, и҆ держи́тсѧ за ро́гъ ѻ҆лтарѧ̀, глаго́лѧ: да клене́тмисѧ дне́сь ца́рь соломѡ́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ᲂу҆бїе́тъ раба̀ своего̀ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ.
51 Solomon was told, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon; for, behold, he is hanging onto the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’”
52 И҆ речѐ соломѡ́нъ: а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ сы́нъ си́лы, ни вла́съ главы̀ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆паде́тъ на зе́млю: а҆́ще же ѕло́ба ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ въ не́мъ, ᲂу҆́мретъ.
52 Solomon said, “If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of his shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.”
53 И҆ посла̀ ца́рь соломѡ́нъ, и҆ сведо́ша є҆го̀ со ѻ҆лтарѧ̀. И҆ вни́де, и҆ поклони́сѧ царю̀ соломѡ́нꙋ. И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ соломѡ́нъ: и҆дѝ въ до́мъ сво́й.
53 So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But that you may learn more plainly that even a virgin is called in Holy Scripture a "damsel," hear the Book of the Kings, speaking of Abishag the Shunamite, And the damsel was very fair: for that as a virgin she was chosen and brought to David is admitted.
