1 Kings 1:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² Now please come and let me give you some advice, so that you may save your own life as well as that of your son Solomon. ¹³ Go to King David and say to him, ‘Did not you, my lord, O king, swear to your handmaid, saying: Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? Why then does Adonijah reign?’ ¹⁴ Then while you are still there talking with the king, I will come in and confirm your words.”
