1 Kings 1:22-27

22Just then, while she was still speaking to the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.

23The king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” Nathan entered and bowed before the king with his face to the floor.

24Nathan said, “My master, O king, did you announce, ‘Adonijah will be king after me; he will sit on my throne’?

25For today he has gone down and sacrificed many cattle, steers, and sheep and has invited all the king’s sons, the army commanders, and Abiathar the priest. At this moment they are having a feast in his presence, and they have declared, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’

26But he did not invite me – your servant – or Zadok the priest, or Benaiah son of Jehoiada, or your servant Solomon.

27Has my master the king authorized this without informing your servants who should succeed my master the king on his throne?”
