10. So Dovid slept with his avot, and was buried in Ir Dovid.
11. And the yamim that Dovid reigned as Melech over Yisroel were arba'im shanah; sheva shanim reigned he in Chevron, and shloshim v'shalosh shanim reigned he in Yerushalayim.
12. Then sat Sh'lomo upon the Kisse Dovid Aviv; and Malchuso was firmly established.
13. And Adoniyah Ben Chaggit came to Bat-Sheva Em Sh'lomo. And she said, Comest thou in shalom? And he said, Shalom.
14. He said moreover, I have davar to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.
15. And he said, Thou hast da'as that the meluchah (kingdom, monarchy) was mine, and that kol Yisroel set their faces on me, that I should reign as Melech; howbeit the meluchah has veered, and is become my brother's; for it was his from Hashem.
16. And now I ask thee one she'elah: refuse me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
17. And he said, Speak, now, unto Sh'lomo HaMelech, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Avishag HaShunammit as isha.
18. And Bat-Sheva said, Tov; I will speak for thee unto HaMelech.
19. Bat-Sheva therefore went unto HaMelech Sh'lomo, to speak unto him for Adoniyah. And HaMelech rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his kisse, and caused a kisse to be set for Em HaMelech; and she sat on his yamin (right hand).
