1 Kings 1:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ and said:

Your Majesty, did you say that Adonijah would be king? ²⁵ Earlier today, he sacrificed a lot of cattle, calves, and sheep. He invited the army commanders, Abiathar, and all your sons to be there. They are already eating and drinking and shouting, “Long live King Adonijah!” ²⁶ But he didn't invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
