Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 2:15:

• Kupsabiny: “Then he said, ‘As you know, was the kingdom really not mine? All the people of Israel had waited/expected for me to rule. But things changed to the extent that the kingdom has fallen upon my brother Solomon as God has planned.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Adonijah said, " for I know he will do anything you request. You know that this kingdom was mine. All the people of Israel thought that I would be king. But everything was reversed. The kingdom went to my younger brother. For this was the desire of the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Adonia replied, ‘You knew that I would have been the king, and the entire Israel was-looking-forward to it. But what happened is different; my sibling is-the-one who became king, for that is what the LORD wants.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “He said, ‘You know that all the Israeli people expected me to be their king because I am David’s oldest surviving son. But that did not happen. Instead, my younger brother became king, because that is what Yahweh wanted.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
