1 Kings 2:20-22

International Children’s Bible

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.”

²¹ So she said, “Allow Abishag the Shunammite woman to marry your brother Adonijah.”

²² King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask me to give him Abishag? Why don’t you ask for him to become the king also since he is my older brother? Abiathar the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah will support him!”
