12 Ven pues ahora, y toma mi consejo, para que guardes tu vida, y la vida de tu hijo Salomón.

13 Ve, y entra al rey David, y dile: Rey señor mío, ¿no has tú jurado á tu sierva, diciendo: Salomón tu hijo reinará después de mí, y él se sentará en mi trono? ¿por qué pues reina Adonía?

14 Y estando tú aún hablando con el rey, yo entraré tras ti, y acabaré tus razones.
