1 Kings 1:28-30

New International Reader's Version

David Makes Solomon King

²⁸ King David said, “Tell Bathsheba to come in.” So she came and stood in front of the king.

²⁹ Then the king made a promise. He said, “The Lord has saved me from all my troubles. You can be sure that he lives. ³⁰ And you can be just as sure I will do what I promised. This is the day I will do what I promised in the name of the Lord. He is the God of Israel. I promised you that your son Solomon would be king after me. He will sit on my throne in my place.”
