1 Kings 1:40-42
1599 Geneva Bible
40 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth [a]rang with the sound of them.
41 ¶ And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him, heard it: (and they had made an end of eating) and when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, What meaneth this noise and uproar in the city?
42 And as he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the Priest came: and Adonijah said, Come in: for thou art a [b]worthy man, and bringest [c]good tidings.
