11:001:019 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and
sheep in abundance,
and
hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar
the
priest,
and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon
thy
servant
hath he not called.
11:001:020 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of
all Israel are upon
thee,
that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the
throne
of my lord the king after him.
11:001:021 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my
lord the king shall
sleep
with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be
counted
offenders.
11:001:022 And, lo, while she yet talked with the
king, Nathan the
prophet
also came in.
11:001:023 And they told the king, saying, Behold
Nathan the prophet. And
when
he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before
the
king with his face to the ground.
11:001:024 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast
thou said, Adonijah
shall
reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
11:001:025 For he is gone down this day, and hath
slain oxen and fat
cattle
and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king’s
sons,
and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest;
and,
behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God
save
king
Adonijah.
11:001:026 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok
the priest, and Benaiah
the
son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not
called.
11:001:027 Is this thing done by my lord the king,
and thou hast not
shewed
it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of
my
lord
the king after him?
11:001:028 Then king David answered and said, Call
me Bathsheba. And she
came
into the king’s presence, and stood before the
king.
11:001:029 And the king sware, and said, As the lord
liveth, that hath
redeemed
my soul out of all distress,
11:001:030 Even as I sware unto thee by the lord
God of Israel, saying,
Assuredly
Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall
sit
upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly
do
this
day.
11:001:031 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the
earth, and did
reverence
to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live
for
ever.
11:001:032 And king David said, Call me Zadok the
priest, and Nathan the
prophet,
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came
before
the
king.
11:001:033 The king also said unto them, Take with
you the servants of
your
lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own
mule,
and bring him down to Gihon:
