Solomon Takes Control as King

¹² Now Solomon became king after David, his father. And he was in control of his kingdom.

¹³ At this time Adonijah son of Haggith went to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. Bathsheba asked, “Do you come in peace?”

Adonijah answered, “Yes. This is a peaceful visit. ¹⁴ I have something to say to you.”

“You may speak,” she said.
