1 Kings 1:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵ Today he has sacrificed many cows, fat calves and sheep. And he has invited all your other sons, the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him. They are saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ ²⁶ But he did not invite me, Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada or your son Solomon. ²⁷ Did you do this? We are your servants. Why didn’t you tell us whom you chose to be the king after you?”
