1 Kings 1:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ Nathan said, “Did you, my lord the king, say, ‘Adonijah will be king after me, and he will sit on my throne’? ²⁵ Today he has gone out and sacrificed a great many cattle, specially fattened calves, and sheep. He has invited all the king’s sons, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. They are even eating and drinking with him and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ ²⁶ But he has not invited me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, or your servant Solomon.
