1 Kings 1:25 in Context — 1 Kings 1

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!

26 Mais il n’a invité ni moi qui suis ton serviteur, ni le sacrificateur Tsadok, ni Benaja, fils de Jehojada, ni Salomon, ton serviteur.

27 Est-ce bien par ordre de mon seigneur le roi que cette chose a lieu, et sans que tu aies fait connaître à ton serviteur qui doit s’asseoir sur le trône du roi mon seigneur après lui?
