New Living Translation

1 Kings 1:26-31 New Living Translation (NLT)

26. But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or your servant Solomon.

27. Has my lord the king really done this without letting any of his officials know who should be the next king?”

28. King David responded, “Call Bathsheba!” So she came back in and stood before the king.

29. And the king repeated his vow: “As surely as the lord lives, who has rescued me from every danger,

30. your son Solomon will be the next king and will sit on my throne this very day, just as I vowed to you before the lord, the God of Israel.”

31. Then Bathsheba bowed down with her face to the ground before the king and exclaimed, “May my lord King David live forever!”
