And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Evyatar the kohen, and Yoav the captain of the host: but Shlomo thy servant hath he not called.
But Zadok the kohen, and Benaiah the son of Yhoyada, and Natan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with AdoniYAH.
Wherefore Natan spake unto Bat-Sheva the mother of Shlomo, saying, Hast thou not heard that AdoniYAH the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our YY knoweth it not?
