1 Kings 1:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ Bathsheba bowed down before the king.

He asked, “What do you want?”

¹⁷ She answered, “My master, you made a promise to me in the name of the Lord your God. You said, ‘Your son Solomon will become king after me. He will rule on my throne.’ ¹⁸ But now Adonijah has become king. And you did not know it.
