1 Kings 2:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Thou knowest that the kingdom was nine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother's: for it was appointed him by the Lord.

¹⁶ Now therefore I ask one petition of thee: turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on.

¹⁷ And he said: I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag the Sunamitess to wife.
