1 Kings 2:21-23

Modern English Version

²¹ She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given as a wife to Adonijah your brother.”

²² King Solomon answered his mother, “Now why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother. Ask not only for him, but also for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”

²³ Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, “May God do so to me and more also if this word does not cost Adonijah his life.
