1 Kings 1:7-9
New English Translation

7 He collaborated[a] with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they supported[b] him.[c] 8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s elite warriors[d] did not ally themselves[e] with Adonijah. 9 Adonijah sacrificed sheep, cattle, and fattened steers at the Stone of Zoheleth near En Rogel. He invited all his brothers, the king’s sons,[f] as well as all the men of Judah, the king’s servants.
