1 Kings 1:11, 24, 27

Then Nathan asked Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother, “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has become king, and our lord David knows nothing about it?

Nathan said, “Have you, my lord the king, declared that Adonijah shall be king after you, and that he will sit on your throne?

Is this something my lord the king has done without letting his servants know who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
