"She said,“Allow Abishag the Shunammite to be given to your brother Adonijah as a wife.”"
— 1 Kings 2:21, NET Bible
“And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.”
“And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. ”
“She said, "Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife."”
“And she said: Let Abisag, the Sunamitess, be given to Adonias, thy brother, to wife.”
“And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother for a wife.”
“And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.”
Bathsheba replied,“That’s fine, I’ll speak to the king on your behalf.”
So Bathsheba visited King Solomon to speak to him on Adonijah’s behalf. The king got up to greet her, bowed to her, and then sat on his throne. He ordered a throne to be brought for the king’s mother, and she sat at his right hand.
She said,“I would like to ask you for just one small favor. Please don’t refuse me.” He said,“Go ahead and ask, my mother, for I would not refuse you.”
She said,“Allow Abishag the Shunammite to be given to your brother Adonijah as a wife.”
King Solomon answered his mother,“Why just request Abishag the Shunammite for him? Since he is my older brother, you should also request the kingdom for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”
King Solomon then swore an oath by the LORD,“May God judge me severely, if Adonijah does not pay for this request with his life!
Now, as certainly as the LORD lives(he who made me secure, allowed me to sit on my father David’s throne, and established a dynasty for me as he promised), Adonijah will be executed today!”
