1 Kings 1:1-53 MSG

In this chapter, you notice, that King David is just resting in bed, probably going to die soon. All of a sudden this guy comes and pretends to be king, and people believe him. Could you imagine being in charge of all the land when all of a sudden somebody pretends to be just like you and you don't know it? But then people come tell King David, and he takes action. Back in those days, if you did that then you would probably be killed. Not King Solomon. The new king goes up to Adonijiah and tells him to go home. How cool is that?
