Bathsheba replied, “That’s fine, I’ll speak to the king on your behalf.”
He said, “Please ask King Solomon if he would give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife, for he won’t refuse you.”
So Bathsheba visited King Solomon to speak to him on Adonijah’s behalf. The king got up to greet her, bowed to her, and then sat on his throne. He ordered a throne to be brought for the king’s mother, and she sat at his right hand.
A naive person believes everything, but the shrewd person discerns his steps.
