1 Kings 1:11-13

Contemporary English Version

^11 (A) When Nathan heard what had happened, he asked Bathsheba, Solomon's mother:

Have you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has made himself king? But David doesn't know a thing about it. ¹² You and your son Solomon will be killed, unless you do what I tell you. ¹³ Go say to David, “You promised me that Solomon would be the next king. So why is Adonijah now king?”
