11. And Nathan speaketh unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon, saying, `Hast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath reigned, and our lord David hath not known?
12. and now, come, let me counsel thee, I pray thee, and deliver thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon;
13. go and enter in unto king David, and thou hast said unto him, Hast thou not, my lord, O king, sworn to thy handmaid, saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne? and wherefore hath Adonijah reigned?
14. Lo, thou are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after thee, and have completed thy words.'
