1 Kings 2:10-16
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
10Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David. 11And the time that David reigned over Israel was forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 12So Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.
13Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, "Do you come peacefully?" He said, "Peacefully."
14Then he said, "I have something to say to you." She said, "Speak."
15He said, "You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel fully expected me to reign. However, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother 's, for it was his from the Lord.
16And now I have one request to make of you; do not refuse me." She said to him, "Speak."
