1 Kings 1 - 2

King David's life is coming to an end; and many details need to be established. For example, his successor needs to be chosen. Adonijah, one of his sons, desires the throne; but is has already been promised to Solomon, Bathsheba's son. The plot to establish Adonijah is thwarted; and Solomon is presented to the nation as their king. David dies and is buried. Solomon puts his enemies to death and establishes himself as the unequivocal king over Israel.
