1 Kings 1:26-32
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
26But me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited. 27Has this thing been done by my lord the king, and you have not let your servants know who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?'
28Then King David responded and said, 'Summon Bathsheba to me.' And she came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.
29Then the king vowed and said, 'As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
30certainly as I vowed to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Your son Solomon certainly shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place’; I will indeed do so this day.'
31Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, and prostrated herself before the king and said, 'May my lord King David live forever.'
King James Version
Chapter 1
26But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called. 27Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him? 28Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king. 29And the king sware, and said, As the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, 30Even as I sware unto thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day. 31Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
26But he did not invite me—me, your servant—or the priest Zadok or Benaiah son of Jehoiada or your servant Solomon. 27I’m certain my lord the king would not have let this happen without letting your servant know who will sit on my lord the king’s throne after him."
28King David responded by saying, "Call in Bathsheba for me." So she came into the king’s presence and stood before him.
29The king swore an oath and said, "As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my life from every difficulty,
30just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel: Your son Solomon is to become king after me, and he is the one who is to sit on my throne in my place, that is exactly what I will do this very day."
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
26But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or your servant Solomon. 27Has my lord the king really done this without letting any of his officials know who should be the next king?'
28King David responded, 'Call Bathsheba!' So she came back in and stood before the king.
29And the king repeated his vow: 'As surely as the Lord lives, who has rescued me from every danger,
30your son Solomon will be the next king and will sit on my throne this very day, just as I vowed to you before the Lord, the God of Israel.'

Chapter 1
26But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he has not invited. 27Has this thing been brought about by my lord the king and you have not told your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
28Then King David answered, "Call Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king 's presence and stood before the king.
29And the king swore, saying, "As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of every adversity,
30as I swore to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place,’ even so will I do this day."
31Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground and paid homage to the king and said, "May my lord King David live forever!"

26But me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he did not invite. 27Is 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?"New King James Version
Chapter 1
26But he has not invited me—me your servant—nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon. 27Has this thing been done by my lord the king, and you have not told your servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
28Then King David answered and said, “Call Bathsheba to me.” So she came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.
