1 Kings 1:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will?

¹⁷ She answered and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.

¹⁸ And behold now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it.
