18Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don`t know it:
19and he has slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host; but he hasn`t called Solomon your servant.
20You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
21Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
22Behold, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
23They told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. When he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
24Nathan said, My lord, king, have you said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?
