Shlomo sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
13
Then Adoniyahu the son of Haggit came to Bat-Sheva the mother of Shlomo. She said, Come you peaceably? He said, Peaceably.
14
He said moreover, I have somewhat to tell you. She said, Say on.
15
He said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Yisra'el set their faces on me, that I should reign: however the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.
16
Now I ask one petition of you; don't deny me. She said to him, Say on.
