1 Kings 2:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ So he replied, “You know that the kingdom should have come to me, and that everyone in Israel intended to place me as the next^[a] king. However, the kingdom has turned around and now belongs to my brother, because it went to him from the Lord. ¹⁶ So now I’m asking one thing from you. Don’t refuse me.”

“Talk,” she told him.

¹⁷ Then he asked her, “Please talk to King Solomon for me, since he won’t refuse you. Ask him to give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife.”
