23. Someone told David that he was there, and Nathan came in. He bowed with his face to the ground
24. and said:Your Majesty, did you say that Adonijah would be king?
25. Earlier today, he sacrificed a lot of cattle, calves, and sheep. He invited the army commanders, Abiathar, and all your sons to be there. Now they are eating and drinking and shouting, “Long live King Adonijah!”
26. But he didn't invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
27. Did you say they could do this without telling the rest of us who would be the next king?
