27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven't shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
28 Then king David answered, Call to me Bathsheba. She came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
29 The king swore, and said, As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
30 most assuredly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place; most assuredly so will I do this day.
31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live forever.
