1 Kings 1:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² “Now, therefore, come. I will now give you counsel, how to save your own life and the life of your son, Solomon.

¹³ “Go, and get yourself in to King David, and say to him, ‘Did you not swear to your handmaid, my lord, O king, saying, “Assuredly, Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?” Why, then, is Adonijah king?’

¹⁴ “Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm your words.”
