1 Kings 1:27-31

If Your Majesty did this, you certainly didn't inform your officials as to who is meant to sit on your throne as the next king.”

King David replied, “Call Bathsheba for me.” Bathsheba came in and stood before the king.

The king swore a vow, saying, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all kinds of trouble, just as I swore to you previously by the Lord the God of Israel,

telling you Solomon your son will be the next king and he will sit on my throne instead of me—I swear I will do this today.”

Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, honoring the king and said, “May Your Majesty King David live forever.”
