21 Et lorsque le roi mon seigneur sera couché avec ses pères, il arrivera que moi et mon fils Salomon nous serons traités comme des coupables.
22 Tandis qu’elle parlait encore avec le roi, voici, Nathan le prophète arriva.
23 On l’annonça au roi, en disant: Voici Nathan le prophète! Il entra en présence du roi, et se prosterna devant le roi, le visage contre terre.
24 Et Nathan dit: O roi mon seigneur, c’est donc toi qui as dit: Adonija régnera après moi, et il s’assiéra sur mon trône!
25 Car il est descendu aujourd’hui, il a tué des bœufs, des veaux gras et des brebis en quantité; et il a invité tous les fils du roi, les chefs de l’armée, et le sacrificateur Abiathar. Et voici, ils mangent et boivent devant lui, et ils disent: Vive le roi Adonija!
