1 Kings 2:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ Bathsheba said, “Very well, I will speak to the king on your behalf.”

¹⁹ So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her and bowed to her. Then he sat down on his throne and had a seat placed at his right hand for her to sit upon.

²⁰ Then she said, “I desire one small petition of you. Please do not deny me.”

And the king said to her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse you.”
