1 Kings 2:17-19

The Message

¹⁷ “Ask King Solomon—he won’t turn you down—to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”

¹⁸ “Certainly,” said Bathsheba. “I’ll speak to the king for you.”

¹⁹ Bathsheba went to King Solomon to present Adonijah’s request. The king got up and welcomed her, bowing respectfully, and returned to his throne. Then he had a throne put in place for his mother, and she sat at his right hand.
