1 Kings 1:6-8

The Voice

⁶ Adonijah’s father, David, never questioned his actions. Adonijah was also a handsome man who was born after Absalom. ⁷ He discussed things with Joab (Zeruiah’s son and Adonijah’s cousin) and Abiathar the priest, and they became his coconspirators. ⁸ But Zadok the priest, Benaiah (Jehoiada’s son), Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the fierce and loyal men who were devoted to David, were against Adonijah.
