    12 "Now go, please, let me advise you so that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.

    13 Go to King David and say to him, 'My lord the king, did you not swear to your servant, saying, "Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Then why has Adonijah become king?'
