¹³ Go in to King David and say to him, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear^(A) to me your servant: “Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’

³⁰ I will surely carry out this very day what I swore^(A) to you by the Lord, the God of Israel: Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place.”
