1 Kings 1:24-26

New Century Version

²⁴ Nathan said, “My master and king, have you said that Adonijah will be the king after you and that he will rule on your throne? ²⁵ Today he has sacrificed many cows, fat calves, and sheep, and he has invited all your other sons, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him. They are saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ ²⁶ But he did not invite me, your own servant, or Zadok the priest, or Benaiah son of Jehoiada, or your son Solomon.
