As King Davidâ??s eldest son, Adonijah was slated to be the next King by birthright. However, David was convinced by Solomonâ??s mother, Bathsheba, and the prophet Nathan, to give the blessing and birthright of a first-born son to Solomon, effectively making Solomon King Davidâ??s successor to the throne. It was a custom to anoint the Kingâ??s successor at his time of death, which formally placed Kingship. However, while King David was still alive, Adonijah declared himself king, and this prompted David to send Solomon for formal anointing by the priest.
