1 Kings 1:11-14

New American Standard Bible

Nathan and Bathsheba

¹¹ Then Nathan spoke to ^(A)Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it? ¹² So now come, please let me ^(B)give you advice, and save your life and the life of your son Solomon. ¹³ Go ^[a]at once to King David and say to him, ‘Have you not, my lord the king, sworn to your servant, saying, “^(C)Solomon your son certainly shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’ ¹⁴ Behold, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”
