Thematic Bible: Often attended by running footmen


Thematic Bible



Adonijah son of Haggith kept exalting himself, saying, “I will be king!” He prepared chariots, cavalry, and 50 men to run ahead of him.

He said, “These are the rights of the king who will rule over you: He will take your sons and put them to his use in his chariots, on his horses, or running in front of his chariots.

After this, Absalom got himself a chariot, horses, and 50 men to run before him.
