1 Kings 1:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ Nathan said: My lord O king, hast thou said: Let Adonias reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?

²⁵ Because he is gone down to day, and hath killed oxen, and fatlings, and many rams, and invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest: and they are eating and drinking before him, and saying: God save king Adonias:

²⁶ But me thy servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Solomon thy servant he hath not invited.
