Amplified Bible
1 Kings 2:13-18
13Now Adonijah the son of [David and] Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come in peace?” And he said, “In peace.”
14Then he said, “I have something to say to you.” And she said, “Speak.”
15So he said, “You know that the kingdom belonged to me [as the eldest living son] and all Israel looked to me and expected me to be king. However, the kingdom has passed [from me] and became my brother’s, for it was his from the Lord.
16So now I am making one request of you; do not refuse me.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
17He said, “Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not refuse you; ask that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife.”
18Bathsheba replied, “Very well; I will speak to the king for you.”
