Solomon Executes Adonijah

13 Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. So she said, ^a“Do you come peaceably?” And he said, “Peaceably.”

14 Moreover he said, “I have something to say to you.” And she said, “Say it.”

15 Then he said, “You know that the kingdom was ^amine, and all Israel had set their expectations on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom has been turned over, and has become my brother’s; for ^bit was his from the Lord.

16 Now I ask one petition of you; do not¹ deny me.” And she said to him, “Say it.”

17 Then he said, “Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not refuse you, that he may give me ^aAbishag the Shunammite as wife.”

18 So Bathsheba said, “Very well, I will speak for you to the king.”

19 Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her and ^abowed down to her, and sat down on his throne and had a throne set for the king’s mother; ^bso she sat at his right hand.

20 Then she said, “I desire one small petition of you; do not¹ refuse me.” And the king said to her, “Ask it, my mother, for I will not refuse you.”
