A son. We’ve called him Solomon.

Went in to the king in his bedroom. Reminded him he swore to me by the LORD that my son Solomon would be king after him. And now Adonijah has made himself king and he doesn’t even know. All Israel is waiting for him to say who sits on the throne. If he doesn’t, the day he dies, Solomon and I will be treated as criminals.
