1 Kings 1:28-30

Modern English Version

Solomon Becomes King^(A)

²⁸ Then King David answered and said, “Call Bathsheba to me.” And she came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.

²⁹ The king vowed, “As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress, ³⁰ even as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead,’ even so will I certainly do this day.”
