1 Kings 1:22-27

22While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

23The king was told, “Here is Nathan the prophet.” And when he came before the king, he bowed before the king with his face to the ground.

24Then Nathan said, “My lord the king, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne’?

25Because he has gone down today [to En-Rogel] and has sacrificed oxen and fattened steers and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king’s sons, the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest [to this feast]; and [right now] they are eating and drinking in his presence; and they say, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’

26But he has not invited me, your servant, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.

27If this thing has been done by my lord the king, why have you not shown your servants who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
