Contextual Overview
12 And Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was firmly established. 13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came in to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said, Do you come in peace? And he said, Peace. 14 And he said, A word to you and to me? And she said, Speak. 15 And he said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces toward me to reign. Yet the kingdom has been turned around and is my brother's, because it was his from Jehovah. 16 And now I am asking one petition of you. Do not turn away your face. And she said to him, Speak. 17 And he said, Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not turn away your face, that he give to me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife. 18 And Bathsheba said, Well! I will speak to the king for you. 19 And Bathsheba came in to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat on his throne, and placed a throne for the king's mother. And she sat at his right hand. 20 And she said, I ask one small petition of you. Do not turn away my face. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, for I will not turn away your face. 21 And she said, let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah for a wife.
