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.”
