1 Kings 1:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ But now, unknown to you, Adonijah has become king. ¹⁹ He has killed many cows, fat calves, and sheep for sacrifices. And he has invited all your sons, as well as Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he did not invite Solomon, who serves you. ²⁰ My master and king, all the Israelites are watching you, waiting for you to decide who will be king after you.
