11 Then spake Nathan unto Bath-sheba mother of Solomon, sayingHast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath become king, and, our lord David, knoweth it not?12 Now, therefore, come; let me give thee counsel, I pray thee,so shalt thou rescue thine own life, and the life of thy son, Solomon.13 Go, and get thee in unto King David, and thou shalt say unto himDidst not, thou thyself, my lord O king, swear unto thy handmaid, sayingSolomon thy son, shall become king after me, yea, he, shall sit upon my throne? Why, then, hath, Adonijah, become king?
