24Then Nathan said, “My lord the king, have you said, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’?”

25For he has gone down today and sacrificed oxen, fattened calves, and sheep in abundance, and he has invited all the king’s sons, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And look, they are eating and drinking before him, and they are saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’

26But me—your servant—and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Solomon your servant, he did not call.

27If this thing has come from my lord the king, have you not made known to your servants who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
