Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

Verse 13 is found in chapter 1 of 1 Kings. Nathan informs Bathsheba about Adonijah’s attempt and instructs her to remind David of his promise concerning Solomon. The prophetic intervention turns the succession into an issue that does not depend solely on palace maneuvering. Bathsheba and Nathan act together to bring the king to a decision. The scene also shows how the memory of a previous promise can become the basis for intervention during a political crisis.

Auf, und gehe zum König David hinein und sprich zu ihm: Hast du nicht, mein Herr König, deiner Magd geschworen und geredet: Dein Sohn Salomo soll nach mir König sein, und er soll auf meinem Stuhl sitzen? Warum ist denn Adonia König geworden?
Ve, y entra al rey David, y dile: Rey señor mío, ¿no has tú jurado a tu sierva, diciendo: Salomón tu hijo reinará después de mí, y él se sentará en mi trono? ¿por qué pues reina Adonía?
Ve a ver al rey David y dile: “Mi señor el rey, ¿no le juraste a tu sierva: ‘Tu hijo Salomón reinará después de mí y se sentará en mi trono’? ¿Por qué, entonces, se ha hecho rey Adonías?”.
Va, entre chez le roi David, et dis-lui: O roi mon seigneur, n'as-tu pas juré à ta servante, en disant: Salomon, ton fils, régnera après moi, et il s'assiéra sur mon trône? Pourquoi donc Adonija règne-t-il?
Va’, ed entra dal re Davide, e digli: Non hai tu, o re, mio signore, giurato alla tua servente, dicendo: Certo, Salomone, tuo figliuolo, regnerà dopo me, e sederà in sul mio trono? perchè dunque è stato fatto re Adonia?
Vai, e chega ao rei Davi, e dize-lhe: Não juraste tu, rei senhor meu, à tua serva, dizendo: Certamente teu filho Salomão reinará depois de mim, e ele se assentará no meu trono? Por que, pois, reina Adonias?
你去,進到 大衛 王那裏,對他說:『我主我王啊,你不是曾向使女起誓說:你兒子 所羅門 必接續我作王,他必坐在我的王位上嗎? 亞多尼雅 怎麼作了王呢?』
