Bathsheba replied, “Very well, I will speak to the king for you.”
He said, “Please ask King Solomon, who will not refuse you, to give me Abishag the Shunamite to be my wife.”
Then Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king stood up to meet her and paid her homage. Then he sat down upon his throne, and a throne was provided for the king’s mother, who sat at his right.
The naive believe everything, but the shrewd watch their steps.
