English Standard Version
1 Kings 2:13-18
13Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, "Do you come peacefully?" He said, "Peacefully."
14Then he said, "I have something to say to you." She said, "Speak."
15He said, "You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel fully expected me to reign. However, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the Lord.
16And now I have one request to make of you; do not refuse me." She said to him, "Speak."
17And he said, "Please ask King Solomon—he will not refuse you—to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife."
18Bathsheba said, "Very well; I will speak for you to the king."
