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

¹³ And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. ¹⁴ He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto you. And she said, Say on.

¹⁵ And he said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: however the kingdom has turned about, and has become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD. ¹⁶ And now I ask one petition of you, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

¹⁷ And he said, Speak, I pray you, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say nay to you,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to be my wife.

¹⁸ And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for you unto the king.
