1 Kings 1:28-30

New King James Version

David Proclaims Solomon King^(A)

²⁸ Then King David answered and said, “Call Bathsheba to me.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before the king. ²⁹ And the king took an oath and said, ^(B)“As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my life from every distress, ^30 (C)just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place,’ so I certainly will do this day.”
