1 Kings 1:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ You are my king and master. All the Israelites are watching to see what you will do. They want to find out from you who will sit on the throne after you. ²¹ If you don’t do something, I and my son Solomon will be treated like people who have committed crimes. That will happen as soon as you join the members of your family who have already died.”

²² While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
