1 Kings 1:24-26

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁴ Nathan said, ‘My master the king, have you decided that Adonijah will become king after you? Have you said that he will sit on your throne? ²⁵ Today Adonijah has killed many cows, fat calves and sheep as sacrifices. He has asked all the king's sons, the leaders of the army and Abiathar the priest to join with him. Even now, they are having a big feast with him. They are saying, “May King Adonijah live for a long time!”

²⁶ But he did not ask me, your servant, to join him. He did not ask Zadok the priest, Jehoiada's son Benaiah, or your servant Solomon.
