1 Kings 1:41-43

Living Bible

⁴¹ Adonijah and his guests heard the commotion and shouting just as they were finishing their banquet.

“What’s going on?” Joab demanded. “Why is the city in such an uproar?”

⁴² And while he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, rushed in.

“Come in,” Adonijah said to him, “for you are a good man; you must have good news.”

⁴³ “Our lord King David has declared Solomon as king!” Jonathan shouted.
