1 Kings 2:13-17
13Haggith’s son Adonijah visited Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. She asked, “Do you come in peace?” He answered, “Yes.”
14He added, “I have something to say to you.” She replied, “Speak.”
15He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine and all Israel considered me king. But then the kingdom was given to my brother, for the Lord decided it should be his.
16Now I’d like to ask you for just one thing. Please don’t refuse me.” She said, “Go ahead and ask.”
17He said, “Please ask King Solomon if he would give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife, for he won’t refuse you.”
