1 Kings 1:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Come and let me give you counsel, so that I may save my own life and the life of your son Solomon.

¹³ “Go at once to King David and say to him, ‘Did not my lord, the king, make an oath to your handmaid, saying, “Solomon, your son, will reign after me and will sit upon my throne? Why, then, is Adonijah reigning?” ¹⁴ While you are still speaking with the king, I will arrive and confirm your words.’ ”
