1 Kings 1:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ And Nathan said to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias the son of Haggith reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not?

¹² Now then come, take my counsel and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

¹³ Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord O king, swear to me thy handmaid, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign?
