10but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he didn`t call.
11Then Nathan spoke to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Haven`t you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn`t know it?
12Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.
13Go and get you in to king David, and tell him, Didn`t you, my lord, king, swear to your handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then does Adonijah reign?
14Behold, while you yet talk there with the king, I also will come in after you, and confirm your words.
15Bath-sheba went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.
16Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. The king said, What would you?
