1 Kings 2:13-18 - Adonijah's Persistence
13 After that, Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, "Betokeneth thy coming peace?" 14 And he said, "It betokeneth peace." Then said he, "I have a matter to show thee." And she said, "Say on."
15 And he said, "Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel put their eyes on me, that I should reign. Howbeit, the kingdom was turned away and given to my brother, for it was appointed him of the LORD: and now I ask a petition of thee, whereof deny me not." 16 And she said unto him, "Tell what it is."
17 Then he said, "Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king - for he will not say thee nay - that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife."
18 And Bathsheba said, "Well, I will speak for thee unto the king."
