1 Koningen 1:6

ondanks dit alles viel zijn vader hem nooit lastig met de vraag:Waarom doet ge dat? Bovendien was Adoni-ja zeer knap van uiterlijk, en volgde in leeftijd op Absalom.

And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom.
