1 Kings 2:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ When Bathsheba went to see Solomon, he stood up to meet her, then bowed low. He sat back down and had another throne brought in, so his mother could sit at his right side.^{[a] 20} Bathsheba sat down and then asked, “Would you do me a small favor?”

Solomon replied, “Mother, just tell me what you want, and I will do it.”

²¹ “Allow your brother Adonijah to marry Abishag,” she answered.
