1 Kings 2:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And she said: Let Abisag the Sunamitess be given to Adonias thy brother to wife.

²² And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag the Sunamitess for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom: for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Sarvia.

²³ Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life.
