And Bath-sheba said, Well! I will speak to the king for you.
And he said, Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not turn away your face, that he give to me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife.
And Bath-sheba came in to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat on his throne, and placed a throne for the king’s mother. And she sat at his right hand.
One of simplicity believes every word, but the prudent one considers his step.
