Bathsheba said, “Very well; I will speak for you to the king.”
The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.
And he said, “Please ask King Solomon—he will not refuse you—to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose to meet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat on his throne and had a seat brought for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right.
