1 Kings 2:15-17

The Message

^15-16 “You know that I had the kingdom right in my hands and everyone expected me to be king, and then the whole thing backfired and the kingdom landed in my brother’s lap—God’s doing. So now I have one request to ask of you; please don’t refuse me.”

“Go ahead, ask,” she said.

¹⁷ “Ask King Solomon—he won’t turn you down—to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
