1 Kings 2:13-18 - Adonijah's Persistence

¹³ And Adonijah son of Haggith, will come to Bath-sheba, Solomon's mother: and she will say, Thy coming peace? And he will say, Peace. ¹⁴ And he will say, A word to me for thee. And she will say, Speak.

¹⁵ And he will say, Thou knewest that to me was the kingdom, and upon me all Israel set their faces for king: and the kingdom will turn about and be for my brother, for from Jehovah it was to him. ¹⁶ And now I ask one asking from thee, thou wilt not turn away my face. And she will say to him, Speak

¹⁷ And he will say, Speak now to Solomon the king, for he will not turn away thy face, and he will give to me Abishag the Shunamite for wife.

¹⁸ And Bathsheba will say, Well I will speak for thee to the king.
