1 Kings 2:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ He said, “You know that the kingship was mine, and all Israel looked for me to be king. But things changed, and the kingship went to my brother instead, because the Lord gave it to him. ¹⁶ But now, I am asking you for one request. Do not turn me away.”

She said, “Tell me what it is.”

¹⁷ He said, “Ask King Solomon (for he will not turn you down) to give me Abishag from Shunem as my wife.”
