1 Kings 2:14 In-Context

12 Solomon succeeded his father David as king, and his royal power was firmly established.
13 Then Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith, went to Bathsheba, who was Solomon's mother. "Is this a friendly visit?" she asked. "It is," he answered,
14 and then he added, "I have something to ask of you." "What is it?" she asked.
15 He answered, "You know that I should have become king and that everyone in Israel expected it. But it happened differently, and my brother became king because it was the Lord's will.
16 And now I have one request to make; please do not refuse me." "What is it?" Bathsheba asked.
