1 Kings 2:12-14

New Century Version

Solomon Takes Control as King

¹² Solomon became king after David, his father, and he was in firm control of his kingdom.

¹³ At this time Adonijah son of Haggith went to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. “Do you come in peace?” Bathsheba asked.

“Yes. This is a peaceful visit,” Adonijah answered. ¹⁴ “I have something to say to you.”

“You may speak,” she said.
