1 Kings 1:1

Adonijah Tries to Seize the Throne

1:1 King David was very old; even when they covered him with blankets, he could not get warm.

1 Kings 1:43

1:43 Jonathan replied to Adonijah: “No! Our master King David has made Solomon king.

David’s Final Words to Solomon

2:1 When David was close to death, he told Solomon his son:

Solomon Secures the Throne

2:12 Solomon sat on his father David’s throne, and his royal authority was firmly solidified.

2:45 But King Solomon will be empowered and David’s dynasty will endure permanently before the Lord.”

8:17 Now my father David had a strong desire to build a temple to honor the Lord God of Israel.

8:26 Now, O God of Israel, may the promise you made to your servant, my father David, be realized.

11:6 Solomon did evil in the Lord’s sight; he did not remain loyal to the Lord, like his father David had.

11:12 However, for your father David’s sake I will not do this while you are alive. I will tear it away from your son’s hand instead.

11:39 I will humiliate David’s descendants because of this, but not forever.”

11:43 Then Solomon passed away and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam replaced him as king.

15:8 Abijah passed away and was buried in the city of David. His son Asa replaced him as king.
