1 Kings 2:10-18 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

10. And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

11. And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

12. And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

13. And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

14. And he said, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Speak.

15. And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces on me that I should reign; but the kingdom is turned about and is become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah.

16. And now I ask one petition of thee; refuse me not. And she said to him, Speak.

17. And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king--for he will not refuse thee--that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.

18. And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
