God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 1:22-27
22While she was still talking to the king, the prophet Nathan arrived.
23The servants told the king, “The prophet Nathan is here.” When he came to the king, he bowed down in front of him.
24Nathan said, “Your Majesty, you must have said that Adonijah will be king after you and that he will sit on your throne,
25because today he went and sacrificed many bulls, fattened calves, and sheep. He invited all the king’s sons, the army’s commanders, and the priest Abiathar ⌞to his feast⌟. They are eating and drinking with him and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26But he didn’t invite me or the priest Zadok or Benaiah, who is Jehoiada’s son, or your servant Solomon.
27Did you allow this to happen without telling me who would sit on your throne next?”
