²⁶ But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not sent for.

⁸ But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei, and David's men of war did not take the side of Adonijah.

¹⁰ But he did not send for Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the other men of war and Solomon his brother.

² The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.

¹² And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.

¹³ He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

¹⁴ I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;

¹⁵ But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

¹⁶ And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.

¹⁷ So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.

²⁵ And he sent word by Nathan the prophet, who gave him the name Jedidiah, by the word of the Lord.

¹⁹ And has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab, the captain of the army; but he has not sent for Solomon your servant.
