1 Kings 1:23-25
English Standard Version
23 And they told the king, “Here is Nathan the prophet.” And when he came in before the king, he bowed before the king, with his face to the ground. 24 And Nathan said, “My lord the king, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne’? 25 For he has gone down this day and (A)has sacrificed oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, the commanders[a] of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, (B)‘Long live King Adonijah!’
