1 Kings 1:16-21

16Bathsheba knelt low and paid homage to the king, and he asked, “What do you want?”

17She replied, “My lord, you swore to your servant by the Lord your God, ‘Your son Solomon is to become king after me, and he is the one who is to sit on my throne.’

18Now look, Adonijah has become king. And, my lord the king, you didn’t know it.

19He has lavishly sacrificed oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. He invited all the king’s sons, the priest Abiathar, and Joab the commander of the army, but he did not invite your servant Solomon.

20Now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you to tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21Otherwise, when my lord the king rests with his ancestors, I and my son Solomon will be regarded as criminals.”
