Nathan and Bathsheba Before David
11
Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, "Have you not heard that 1Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king and David our lord does not know it?
12
Now therefore come, let me give you advice, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
13
Go in at once to King David, and say to him, 'Did you not, my lord the king, swear to your servant, saying, 2"Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then is Adonijah king?'
14
Then while you are still speaking with the king, I also will come in after you and confirma your words."
15
So Bathsheba went to the king in his chamber (now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was attending to the king).
16
Bathsheba bowed and paid homage to the king, and the king said, "What do you desire?"
17
She said to him, "My lord, you swore to your servant by the LORD your God, saying, 3'Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'
18
And now, behold, Adonijah is king, although you, my lord the king, do not know it.
19
4He has sacrificed oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king, 5Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army, but 6Solomon your servant he has not invited.
20
And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
21
Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lord the king 7sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted offenders."
22
While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
23
And they told the king, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed before the king, with his face to the ground.
24
And Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne'?
25
For he has gone down this day and 8has sacrificed oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, the commandersb of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, 9'Long live King Adonijah!'
26
10But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he has not invited.
27
Has this thing been brought about by my lord the king and you have not told your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
