1 Kings 2:13-15

Tree of Life Version

Solomon’s Throne Secured

¹³ Later Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba, Solomon’s mother. “Is your coming in shalom?” she asked.

“It is in shalom,” he said. ¹⁴ Then he said, “I have something to say to you.”

“Speak!” she said.

¹⁵ Then he said, “You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel looked to me to be the king. However, the kingship has turned about and become my brother’s—for it was his from Adonai.
