1 Kings 2:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ So he continued, “Please ask King Solomon for a favor. He won’t say no to you. Ask him to give me Abishag from Shunem to be my wife.”

¹⁸ “All right,” Bathsheba replied. “I’ll speak to the king for you.”

¹⁹ So Bathsheba went to King Solomon. She went to him to speak for Adonijah. The king stood up to greet her. He bowed down to her. Then he sat down on his throne. He had a throne brought for his mother. She sat down at his right side.
