15 “You know the kingship was mine,”(A) he said. “All Israel expected me to be king, but then the kingship was turned over to my brother,(B) for the Lord gave it to him.(C) 16 So now I have just one request of you; don’t turn me down.”[a]
She said to him, “Go on.”
17 He replied, “Please speak to King Solomon since he won’t turn you down. Let him give me Abishag the Shunammite(D) as a wife.”
