1 Kings 1:26

BenaiahJehoiadaSolomonZadok

24 “My lord the king,” said Nathan, “did you say, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’?

25 For today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’

But me your servant he did not invite, nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.

27 Has my lord the king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the king?”

28 Then King David said, “Call in Bathsheba for me.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
