1 Kings 1:15-21

[15] And Bathsheba  went in  unto the king  into the chamber:  and the king  was very  old;  and Abishag  the Shunammite  ministered  unto the king.  [16] And Bathsheba  bowed,  and did obeisance  unto the king.  said,  What wouldest thou? [17] And she said  unto him, My lord,  thou swarest  by the LORD  thy God  unto thine handmaid,  saying, Assuredly Solomon  thy son  shall reign  after  me, and he shall sit  upon my throne.  [18] And now, behold, Adonijah  reigneth;  and now, my lord  the king,  thou knowest  [19] And he hath slain  oxen  and fat cattle  and sheep  in abundance,  and hath called  all the sons  of the king,  and Abiathar  the priest,  and Joab  the captain  of the host:  but Solomon  thy servant  hath he not called.  [20] And thou, my lord,  O king,  the eyes  of all Israel  are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell  them who shall sit  on the throne  of my lord  the king  after  him. [21] Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord  the king  shall sleep  with his fathers,  that I and my son  Solomon  shall be counted offenders.
