1 Kings 2:20-22

20Then she said, “I am making one small request of you; 1do not 2refuse me.” And the king said to her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not 3refuse you.”

21So she said, “4Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as a wife.”

22But King Solomon answered and said to his mother, “And why are you requesting Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? 5Request for him the kingdom as well--6since he is my older brother--for him, for 7Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah!”
