1 Kings 2:10-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

10. David rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David.

11. David was king over Israel for forty years: he was king seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

12. Then Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingship was established.

13. Adonijah, son of Haggith, came to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. “Do you come in peace?” she asked. “In peace,” he answered,

14. and he added, “I have something to say to you.” She replied, “Speak.”

15. So he said: “You know that the kingship was mine, and all Israel expected me to be king. But the kingship passed me by and went to my brother; by the Lord’s will it went to him.
