1 Kings 2:12

Then sat Solomon on the throne of David his father
So he did in his lifetime, with his consent, and by his order, and now by the agreement of the whole people:

Kings I 2:12 In-Context

10 The Lord will weaken his adversary; the Lord holy. Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor let the mighty man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth; but let him that boasts boast in this, to understand and know the Lord, and to execute judgment and justice in the midst of the earth. The Lord has gone up to the heavens, and has thundered: he will judge the extremities of the earth, and he gives strength to our kings, and will exalt the horn of his Christ. And she left him there before the Lord,

11 and departed to Armathaim: and the child ministered in the presence of the Lord before Heli the priest.

12 And the sons of Heli the priest evil sons, not knowing the Lord.

13 And the priest's claim from every one of the people that sacrificed the servant of the priest came when the flesh was in seething, and a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand.

14 And he struck it into the great caldron, or into the brazen vessel, or into the pot, and whatever came up with the flesh-hook, the priest took for himself: so they did to all Israel that came to sacrifice to the Lord in Selom.
