Adonijah spoke with Zeruiah's son Joab and with Abiathar, the priest. They said that they would help Adonijah.

But these people did not join Adonijah's group:

Zadok the priest,

Jehoiada's son Benaiah,

Nathan the prophet,

Shimei and Rei.

David's own special soldiers did not join Adonijah either.

Then Adonijah went to the Stone of Zoheleth that was near En Rogel.[a] He killed sheep, cows and fat calves as sacrifices there. He asked these people to join him:

all his brothers, who were King David's sons,

all the men of Judah who were the king's officers.
