1 Kings 1:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²³ The servants told the king, “The prophet Nathan is here.” When he came to the king, he bowed down in front of him. ²⁴ Nathan said, “Your Majesty, you must have said that Adonijah will be king after you and that he will sit on your throne, ²⁵ because today he went and sacrificed many bulls, fattened calves, and sheep. He invited all the king’s sons, the army’s commanders, and the priest Abiathar ⌞to his feast⌟. They are eating and drinking with him and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
