Make haste, and go in to King David, and you shall speak to him, saying, Has not you, my lord, O king, sworn to your handmaid, saying, Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? Why then does Adonijah reign?

And she said, My lord, you swore by the Lord your God to your handmaid, saying, Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and shall sit upon my throne.

And Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was established greatly.

And he said to her, You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel turned their face toward me for a king; but the kingdom was turned [from me] and became my brother's; for it was [appointed] to him from the Lord.

And David was old and full of days, and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his place.

Yet the Lord God of Israel chose me out of the whole house of my father to be king over Israel forever; and He chose Judah as the kingly [house], and out of the house of Judah [He chose] the house of my father; and among the sons of my father He preferred me, that I should be king over all Israel.

And of all my sons, (for the Lord has given me many sons) He has chosen Solomon my son, to set him on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

But I have been made King by Him on Zion His holy mountain,

For Solomon. O God, give Your judgment to the king, and Your righteousness to the king's son;

For Solomon. O God, give Your judgment to the king, and Your righteousness to the king's son;

[that he may] judge Your people with righteousness, and Your poor with judgment.
