1 Kings 1:22-27

22While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.

23And the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” So he went before the king and bowed with his face to the ground. 24Nathan said, “Have you, my lord the king, declared that Adonijah shall be king after you, and that he will sit on your throne? 25Today he has gone down and sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep. He has invited all the king’s sons, the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ 26But me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he did not invite.

27Is this something my lord the king has done without letting his servants know who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
