1 Kings 2:19-21

The Message

¹⁹ Bathsheba went to King Solomon to present Adonijah’s request. The king got up and welcomed her, bowing respectfully, and returned to his throne. Then he had a throne put in place for his mother, and she sat at his right hand.

²⁰ She said, “I have a small favor to ask of you. Don’t refuse me.”

The king replied, “Go ahead, Mother; of course I won’t refuse you.”

²¹ She said, “Give Abishag the Shunammite to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”
