But me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he did not invite.
and because the Lord loved him, he sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah.
he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelek son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was secretary;
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priests.
but he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the special guard or his brother Solomon.
He has sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the king’s sons, Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant.
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?”
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei and David’s special guard did not join Adonijah.
The king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab’s position and replaced Abiathar with Zadok the priest.
