And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.

Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
