1 Kings 1:19-21

The Voice

¹⁹ Adonijah has sacrificed many sheep, oxen, and cattle that were prepared for slaughter. He sent invitations to all of the king’s sons and to Abiathar the priest and to Joab the commander of the military; but he did not send an invitation to Solomon, who is your loyal servant. ²⁰ My lord the king, everyone in Israel is looking to you and waiting for your word. Who will rule from the throne after you? ²¹ If you do not give instruction before you leave this world to sleep with your fathers, then my son, Solomon, and I will be guilty before Adonijah.
