1 Kings 2:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸ Bathsheba said, “Very well; I will speak to the king for you.”

Adonijah Executed

¹⁹ So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king arose to meet her, bowed before her, and sat on his throne; then he ^(A)had a throne set for the king’s mother, and ^(B)she sat on his right. ²⁰ Then she said, “I am making one small request of you; ^(C)do not ^[a]refuse me.” And the king said to her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not ^[b]refuse you.”
