1 Kings 1:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ He said, “My master the king, you must have said, ‘Adonijah will become king after me and will sit on my throne.’ ²⁵ Indeed, today he went down and prepared oxen, fattened cattle, and lamb in large numbers. He invited all the royal princes, the generals, and Abiathar the priest. They are eating and drinking with him, and they said, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ ²⁶ Adonijah didn’t invite me, your servant, Zadok the priest, Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, or your servant Solomon.
