1 Kings 2:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ “Very well,” she answered. “I will speak to the king for you.”

¹⁹ So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to talk to him for Adonijah. When Solomon saw her, he stood up to meet her. Then he bowed down to her and sat on the throne. He told some servants to bring another throne for his mother. Then she sat down at his right side.

²⁰ Bathsheba said to him, “I have one small thing to ask you. Please do not refuse me.”

The king answered, “Ask, mother. I will not refuse you.”
