1 Kings 2:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁷ He said, ‘Please ask King Solomon—he will not refuse you—to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.’ ¹⁸ Bathsheba said, ‘Very well; I will speak to the king on your behalf.’

¹⁹ So Bathsheba went to King Solomon, to speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. The king rose to meet her, and bowed down to her; then he sat on his throne, and had a throne brought for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right.
