1 Kings 2:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ Adonijah said, ‘You know that the kingdom should belong to me. All the Israelite people thought that I should be their king. But everything changed, and now my brother is the king instead of me. The Lord decided that he should be king. ¹⁶ Now I have one thing to ask you. Please do not refuse me.’ Bathsheba replied, ‘Tell me.’

¹⁷ So Adonijah said, ‘Please ask King Solomon to give me Abishag, the girl from Shunem, to be my wife. He will do it if you ask him.’
