12And Solomon hath sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom is established greatly,
13and Adonijah son of Haggith cometh in unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon, and she saith, `Is thy coming peace?` and he saith, `Peace.`
14And he saith, `I have a word unto thee,` and she saith, `Speak.`
15And he saith, `Thou hast known that the kingdom was mine, and towards me set their faces had all Israel for reigning, and the kingdom is turned round about, and is my brother`s, for from Jehovah it was his;
16and now, one petition I am asking of thee -- turn not back my face;` and she saith unto him, `Speak.`
17And he saith, `Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king, for he doth not turn back thy face, and he doth give to me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife.`
18And Bath-Sheba saith, `Good; I do speak for thee unto the king.`
