11The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty-three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
12Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
13Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. She said, Come you peaceably? He said, Peaceably.
14He said moreover, I have somewhat to tell you. She said, Say on.
15He said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel 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 Yahweh.
16Now I ask one petition of you; don`t deny me. She said to him, Say on.
17He said, Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you `no`), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.
