#There is so much political intrigue in the bible lol
#I was reading through 1 kings today as part of a separate thing and I got to the part where david dies
#or is about to die
#which is. technically. the first chapter *waves hand* but still
#so anyways
#he's about to die and then nathan (prophet) goes to Solomon's mom and he's like 'hey uh don't freak out but david's son adonijah is trying
#to claim the throne that was promised to your son. no yeah he's literally like. he's literally doing it right now 🤪'
#and she's like ??? omg ?
#and he's like 'no it's fine it's ok here's what we're going to do you're gonna go to king david and you're gonna be like 'i thought you
#promised the crown to my son solomon :(' and then i'm gonna come behind you and be like 'hey did you change your mind about solomon
#becoming king or what?' and then david will fulfill the oath he made before god'
#and so bathsheba and nathan enact their little plan and david is like 'uh no i did not change my mind IN FACT. while adonijah is throwing
#himself a banquet to celebrate his victory you guys are going to go to gihon and anoint solomon as king right Now'
#so nathan et al go to gihon and anoint solomon king and the nation at large is ecstatic about it and they blow a trumpet announcing his
#like. his. idk. not election but you know what i mean
#so anyways MEANWHILE. adonijah is chilling at his banquet finishing up his feast with his party guests and he hears the trumpet and he's
#like huh wonder wot's all this then and then some guy named jonathan comes in at the moment and adonijah is like 'hey buddy :) let's hear
#some good news on this Day that i have become king :)'
#and jonathan is like 'yeah.....sorry to crash the party but uh. solomon is king now. yikes'
#and everyone at adonijah's party is freaked out so they SCATTER and adonijah is like 'oh sh*t solomon is going to kill me'
#so he goes to the king like 'hey sorry about the whole *waves hand* usurping thing. haha. anyways can u please swear not to kill me'
#and solomon is like '😐 bffr. but yk? alright. if you act right i won't have to but if there's any evil in you? you're outta here bruv''
#and so adonijah is like 'ykw? say less' and submits to solomon's kingship and that's the end of chapter one but anyways. ALL this to say
#i'm pretty sure i have read this plot in a YA novel except there was significantly more murder at the end
