New American Standard Bible

Chapter 2

13Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. So she said, 'Do you come peacefully?' And he said, 'Peacefully.' 14Then he said, 'I have something to say to you.' And she said, 'Speak.' 15So he said, 'You yourself know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel intended for me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned around and become my brother’s, for it was his from the Lord. 16So now I am making one request of you; do not refuse me.' And she said to him, 'Speak.' 17Then he said, 'Please speak to Solomon the king—for he will not refuse you—that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife.'
King James Version

Chapter 2

13And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. 14He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on. 15And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the Lord. 16And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on. 17And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

13Now Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. She asked, "Do you come peacefully?" "Peacefully," he replied,
14and then asked, "May I talk with you?" "Go ahead," she answered.
15"You know the kingship was mine," he said. "All Israel expected me to be king, but then the kingship was turned over to my brother, for the Lord gave it to him.
16So now I have just one request of you; don’t turn me down." She said to him, "Go on."
17He replied, "Please speak to King Solomon since he won’t turn you down. Let him give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife."

Chapter 2

13One day Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith, came to see Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. 'Have you come with peaceful intentions?' she asked him. 'Yes,' he said, 'I come in peace.
14In fact, I have a favor to ask of you.' 'What is it?' she asked.
15He replied, 'As you know, the kingdom was rightfully mine; all Israel wanted me to be the next king. But the tables were turned, and the kingdom went to my brother instead; for that is the way the Lord wanted it.
16So now I have just one favor to ask of you. Please don’t turn me down.' 'What is it?' she asked.
17He replied, 'Speak to King Solomon on my behalf, for I know he will do anything you request. Ask him to let me marry Abishag, the girl from Shunem.'

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."
