1 Kings 2:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ Adonijah said, “You remember that at one time the kingdom was mine. All the people of Israel thought I was their king. But things changed. Now my brother is the king because the Lord chose him. ¹⁶ So now I have one thing to ask you. Please do not refuse me.”

Bathsheba answered, “What do you want?”

¹⁷ Adonijah said, “I know King Solomon will do anything you ask him. So please ask him to give me Abishag the Shunammite woman to be my wife.”
