Then Bathsheba said, “Fine. I will speak to the king for you.”
Adonijah said, “I know that King Solomon will do anything you ask him. So please ask him to let me marry Abishag, the woman from Shunem.”
So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to talk with him. King Solomon saw her and he stood to meet her. Then he bowed down to her and sat on the throne. He told some servants to bring another throne for his mother. Then she sat down at his right side.
A fool will believe anything he hears. But a wise man thinks carefully about everything.
