1 Kings 2:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ She said, “I desire to make one small request of you. Please do not deny me.” The king said to her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not deny you.” ²¹ She said, “Let Abishag the Shunamite be given to Adonijah your brother as a wife.”

²² King Solomon answered his mother saying, “Why do you request Abishag the Shunamite for Adonijah? Why not ask for the kingdom for him, for he is my older brother? Ask it for him and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”
