1 Kings 1:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ So Bethsabee went in to the king into the chamber: now the king was very old, and Abisag the Sunamitess ministered to him.

¹⁶ Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will?

¹⁷ She answered and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.
