Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”
And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”

And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”
And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.”
And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”
