1 Kings 2:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ “All right,” Bathsheba replied, “I’ll ask him.”

¹⁹ So she went to ask the favor of King Solomon. The king stood up from his throne as she entered and bowed low to her. He ordered that a throne for his mother be placed beside his; so she sat at his right hand.

²⁰ “I have one small request to make of you,” she said. “I hope you won’t turn me down.”

“What is it, my mother?” he asked. “You know I won’t refuse you.”
