1 Kings 2:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ One day Adonijah, the son of Haggith, came to see Solomon’s mother, Bathsheba.

“Have you come to make trouble?” she asked him.

“No,” he replied, “I come in peace. ¹⁴ As a matter of fact, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“What is it?” she asked.

¹⁵ “Everything was going well for me,” he said, “and the kingdom was mine: everyone expected me to be the next king. But the tables are turned, and everything went to my brother instead; for that is the way the Lord wanted it.
