Adonijah Claims the Throne (1KI 1:7-10)

[1:7] He talked with Joab (whose mother was Zeruiah) and with Abiathar the priest, and they agreed to support his cause.

[1:8] But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David's bodyguards were not on Adonijah's side.

[1:9] One day Adonijah offered a sacrifice of sheep, bulls, and fattened calves at Snake Rock, near the spring of Enrogel. He invited the other sons of King David and the king's officials who were from Judah to come to this sacrificial feast,

[1:10] but he did not invite his half brother Solomon or Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the king's bodyguards.
