1 Kings 1:16-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

16. And Bath-sheba bowed, and knelt before the king. And the king said, What would you?

17. And she said unto him, My lord, you swore by the LORD your God unto your handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

18. And now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and now, my lord the king, you know it not:

19. And he has slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army: but Solomon your servant has he not called.

20. And you, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you, that you should tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
