1 Kings 1:12-14

Living Bible

¹² If you want to save your own life and the life of your son Solomon—do exactly as I say! ¹³ Go at once to King David and ask him, ‘My lord, didn’t you promise me that my son Solomon would be the next king and would sit upon your throne? Then why is Adonijah reigning?’ ¹⁴ And while you are still talking with him, I’ll come and confirm everything you’ve said.”
