1 Kings 1:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ Adonijah has killed many cows, fat calves and sheep as sacrifices. He has asked the all the king's sons, Abiathar the priest and Joab the leader of the army to join him. But he did not ask your servant Solomon to come.

²⁰ My master the king, everyone in Israel is waiting for you to speak. You must tell them who you have chosen to sit on the throne after you. ²¹ If you do not decide this now, there will be trouble for me and my son Solomon. Soon after they bury you in the grave of your ancestors, they will punish us as bad people.’
