We shall be sinners, we shall be taken for traitors, for though we meant no harm, but walked uprightly, yet because we went not the by way with him, he being in authority will destroy us. And by and by cometh in Nathan, and taketh her tale by the end, and showeth him how Adonias was saluted king, and that he had bid to dinner the kings servants, all saving him and Sadoc, and Banaiah ⟨image 190⟩and all his brethren the Kings sons save Solomon. King David remembering himself, swore, as sure as God liveth, Solomon my son shall reign after me and by and by commanded Nathan and Sadoc and his guard the Cerites and Phelites, to take Solomon his son and set him upon his mule, and anoint him King. And so they did crying. Vivat Solomon Rex. Thus was Solomon throned, by the advise and will of his father, and though he were a child, yet was his will to be obeyed and fulfilled, and they ought to have known his pleasure.
