1 Kings 2:18 In-Context

16 So now I have one request to ask of you; please don't refuse me." "Go ahead, ask," she said.

17 "Ask King Solomon - he won't turn you down - to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife."

18 "Certainly," said Bathsheba. "I'll speak to the king for you."

19 Bathsheba went to King Solomon to present Adonijah's request. The king got up and welcomed her, bowing respectfully, and returned to his throne. Then he had a throne put in place for his mother, and she sat at his right hand.

20 She said, "I have a small favor to ask of you. Don't refuse me." The king replied, "Go ahead, Mother; of course I won't refuse you."
