1 Kings 2:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ Then he said, “I have something to say to you.” And she said, “Speak.” ¹⁵ So he said, “You know that ^(A)the kingdom was mine and ^(B)that all Israel ^[a]expected me to be king; ^(C)however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother’s, ^(D)for it was his from the Lord. ¹⁶ Now I am making one request of you; do not ^[b]refuse me.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
