1 Kings 1:47-49

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴⁷ Furthermore, the royal officials have come ⌞to congratulate⌟ His Majesty King David, saying, ‘May your God make Solomon’s name more famous than yours and his reign greater than your reign.’ The king himself bowed down on his bed ⁴⁸ and said, ‘Praise the Lord God of Israel who has let me see the heir to my throne.’ ”

⁴⁹ Adonijah’s guests were frightened, so they got up and scattered in all directions.
