1 Kings 2:18-20

21st Century King James Version

¹⁸ And Bathsheba said, “Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.”

¹⁹ Bathsheba therefore went unto King Solomon to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne and caused a seat to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.

²⁰ Then she said, “I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say not ‘nay’ to me.” And the king said unto her, “Ask on, my mother, for I will not say to thee ‘nay.’”
