1 Kings 1:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ They announced to the king, “Nathan the prophet.” He came before the king and bowed down with his face to the ground before the king. ²⁴ Nathan said, “Has my lord, the king, said, ‘Adonijah will rule after me and he will sit upon my throne?’ ²⁵ Today he went down and sacrificed many oxen, fatted calves, and sheep, and he invited all of the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. They are eating and drinking with him, and they are saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
