1 Kings 1:47-49

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴⁷ The king's officers have told our master King David that he has done a good thing. They have said to him, “We pray that your God will make Solomon even more famous than you. We pray that his kingdom will be greater than your kingdom.” After they said that, the king bent his head down as he lay on his bed. ⁴⁸ He said, “We should praise the Lord, Israel's God. He deserves this, because he has chosen one of my sons to become king after me. The Lord has let me see this happen.” ’

⁴⁹ When all the people with Adonijah heard Jonathan's report, they were very afraid. They got up from the feast and they ran away in different directions.
