1 Kings 1:15-21

15And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber; and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king.

16And Bathsheba bowed and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

17And she said to him, My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah thy 1God to thy handmaid, [saying,] Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.

18And now behold, Adonijah is king; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not.

19And he has sacrificed oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king and Abiathar the priest and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant has he not invited.

20And thou, my lord the 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.

21Otherwise it shall come to pass when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted offenders.
