13Now AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 cameH935 to BathshebaH1339 the motherH517 of SolomonH8010. So she saidH559, “1Do you comeH935 peacefullyH7965?” And he saidH559, “PeacefullyH7965.” 14Then he saidH559, “I have somethingH1697 to say to you.” And she saidH559, “SpeakH1696.” 15So he saidH559, “You yourselfH859 knowH3045 that 2the kingdomH4410 was mine and 3that allH3605 IsraelH3478 4intendedH7760H6440 for me to beH4427 kingH4427; 5however, the kingdomH4410 has turnedH5437 aroundH5437 and becomeH1961 my brother’sH251, 6for it was his from the LordH3068. 16So nowH6258 I am makingH7592 oneH259 requestH7596 of you; do not 7refuseH7725 me.” And she saidH559 to him, “SpeakH1696.” 17Then he saidH559, “PleaseH4994 speakH559 to SolomonH8010 the kingH4428--for he will not 8refuseH7725 you--that he may giveH5414 me 9AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 as a wifeH802.” 18And BathshebaH1339 saidH559, “VeryH2896 wellH2896; I will speakH1696 to the kingH4428 for you.”
