20“IH595 have just oneH259 smallH6996 request of youH7596,” she saidH559. “Do notH408 denyH7725 meH6440.”

“Make your requestH7592H854, my motherH517,” the kingH4428H7592 repliedH559, “forH3588 I will notH3808 denyH7725 youH6440.”

21So Bathsheba saidH559, “Let AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 be givenH5414 to your brotherH251 AdonijahH138 as his wifeH802.”

22KingH4428 SolomonH8010H559 answeredH6030 his motherH517, “WhyH4100 do youH859 requestH7592 AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 for AdonijahH138? SinceH3588 heH1931 is my olderH1419H4480 brotherH251, you might as well requestH7592 the kingdomH4410 for him and for AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 and for JoabH3097 sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870!”
