Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and David our master does not know it?

Go to King David; say to him, 'My master the king, did you not swear to your servant, saying, “Surely Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne?” Why then is Adonijah reigning?'
14 Manghai ham na thui pah li vaengah namah hnukah tloep ka kun saeh lamtah nang ol te cawt kan duel eh?,” a ti nah.
While you are there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”

She said to him, “My master, you swore to your servant by Yahweh your God, saying, 'Surely Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'
18 Tedae Adonijah a manghai coeng ke ka boei manghai long khaw na ming moenih a?
Now, see, Adonijah is king, and you, my master the king, do not know it.

Otherwise it will happen, when my master the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be regarded as criminals.”
