1 Kings 1:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Adonijah has killed many cows, fat calves and sheep for sacrifices. And he has invited all your sons. He also has invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army. But he did not invite Solomon, your son who serves you. ²⁰ My master and king, all the people of Israel are watching you. They are waiting for you to decide who will be king after you. ²¹ As soon as you die, Solomon and I will be treated as criminals.”
