1 Kings 2:20-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁰ She said, “I am asking you for one small request. Do not turn me down.”

The king answered her, “Ask, mother, for I will not turn you down.”

²¹ She said, “Please give Abishag from Shunem to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”

²² King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask for Abishag from Shunem to be given to Adonijah? You might as well ask for the kingship for him. After all, he is my brother, my older brother! Yes, request it for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”
