1 Kings 1:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Prophet Nathan Helps Solomon Become King

¹¹ Then Nathan asked Solomon’s mother Bathsheba, “Haven’t you heard that Adonijah, Haggith’s son, has become king, and our master David doesn’t ⌞even⌟ know about it? ¹² Bathsheba, let me give you some advice about how to save your life and your son’s life. ¹³ Go to King David and ask him, ‘Your Majesty, didn’t you swear to me that my son Solomon will be king after you, and that he will sit on your throne? Why is Adonijah acting as king?’
