1 Kings 2:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ Bathsheba went to King Solomon to talk to him on Adonijah’s behalf. The king got up to meet her and bowed down in front of her. Then he sat on his throne. He had a throne brought for his mother, and she sat at his right side.

²⁰ “I’m asking you for one little thing,” she said. “Don’t refuse me.”

“Ask, Mother,” the king told her. “I won’t refuse you.”

²¹ She replied, “Let Abishag from Shunem be given to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”
