14 Behold, while you are still there talking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”
15 So Bath-sheba went to the king into the chamber. Now the king was very old, with Abishag the Shunammite serving the king.
16 Bath-sheba bowed and prostrated herself to the king. The king asked, “What troubles you?”
17 She said to him: “My lord, you swore by Adonai your God to your handmaid: ‘Surely, Solomon your son will be king after me, and he will sit on my throne.’
18 Yet now, behold, Adonijah reigns, though you do not know it—my lord the king.
19 He has sacrificed oxen, fattened cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king’s sons, Abiathar the kohen and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant.
20 As for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
