— 1 Kings 1:12, NET Bible
“Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.”
“Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. ”
“Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.”
“Now then, come, take my counsel, and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.”
“So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.”
“Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.”
Adonijah sacrificed sheep, cattle, and fattened steers at the Stone of Zoheleth near En Rogel. He invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, as well as all the men of Judah, the king’s servants.
But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the elite warriors, or his brother Solomon.
Nathan said to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother,“Has it been reported to you that Haggith’s son Adonijah has become king behind our master David’s back?
Now let me give you some advice as to how you can save your life and your son Solomon’s life.
Visit King David and say to him,‘My master, O king, did you not solemnly promise your servant,“Surely your son Solomon will be king after me; he will sit on my throne”? So why has Adonijah become king?’
While you are still there speaking to the king, I will arrive and verify your report.”
So Bathsheba visited the king in his private quarters.(The king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.)
