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:
