1 Kings 1:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ Bathsheba answered:

Your Majesty, you promised me in the name of the Lord your God that my son Solomon would be the next king. ¹⁸ But Adonijah has already been made king, and you didn't know anything about it. ¹⁹ He sacrificed a lot of cattle, calves, and sheep. And he invited Abiathar the priest, Joab your army commander, and all your sons to be there, except Solomon, your loyal servant.
