New English Translation
11 Nathan said to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother, “Has it been reported to you[a] that Haggith’s son Adonijah has become king behind our master David’s back?[b] 12 Now[c] let me give you some advice as to how[d] you can save your life and your son Solomon’s life. 13 Visit[e] King David and say to him, ‘My master, O king, did you not solemnly promise[f] your servant, “Surely your son Solomon will be king after me; he will sit on my throne”? So why has Adonijah become king?’
