1 Kings 2:18-20

Tree of Life Version

¹⁸ “Very well,” said Bath-sheba, “I will speak to the king for you.”

¹⁹ So Bath-sheba went to King Solomon to speak to him about Adonijah. The king rose up to greet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat down on his throne and had a throne set up for the king’s mother, and she sat at his right hand. ²⁰ Then she said: “I ask one small petition of you; do not deny.”

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