1 Kings 1:17

13Go in to King David, and tell him, ‘Didn’t you, my lord the king, swear to your servant, saying, “Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then does Adonijah reign?’

14Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm your words.”

15Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.

16Bathsheba bowed and showed respect to the king. The king said, “What would you like?”

17She said to him, “My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your servant, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’

18Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know it.

19He has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.

20You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”
