1 Kings 2:20-22
New English Translation
20 She said, “I would like to ask you for just one small favor.[a] Please don’t refuse me.”[b] He said,[c] “Go ahead and ask, my mother, for I would not refuse you.” 21 She said, “Allow Abishag the Shunammite to be given to your brother Adonijah as a wife.” 22 King Solomon answered his mother, “Why just request Abishag the Shunammite for him?[d] Since he is my older brother, you should also request the kingdom for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”
