1 Kings 2:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel viewed me as the king. However, the kingdom has become my brother’s, for it was given to him by the Lord. ¹⁶ And now I ask one petition of you; do not deny me.”

She said to him, “Keep speaking.”

¹⁷ And he said, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he will not refuse you, that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife.”
