Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Wherefore Nathan spake vnto Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon, saying, Hast thou not heard, that Adoniiah ye sonne of Haggith doeth reigne, and Dauid our lord knoweth it not? ¹² Now therefore come, and I will now giue thee counsell, howe to saue thine owne life, and the life of thy sonne Salomon. ¹³ Go, and get thee in vnto King Dauid, and say vnto him, Didest not thou, my lorde, O King, sweare vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne? why is then Adoniiah King? ¹⁴ Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the King, I also will come in after thee, and confirme thy wordes. ¹⁵ So Bath-sheba went in vnto the King into the chamber, and the King was verie olde, and Abishag the Shunammite ministred vnto ye King. ¹⁶ And Bath-sheba bowed and made obeisance vnto the King. And the King saide, What is thy matter? ¹⁷ And shee answered him, My lorde, thou swarest by the Lord thy God vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne.
