14While you are still there speaking to the king, I will arrive and verify your report.”
15So Bathsheba visited the king in his private quarters.(The king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.)
16Bathsheba bowed down on the floor before the king. The king said,“What do you want?”
17She replied to him,“My master, you swore an oath to your servant by the LORD your God,‘Solomon your son will be king after me and he will sit on my throne.’
18But now, look, Adonijah has become king! But you, my master the king, are not even aware of it!
19He has sacrificed many cattle, steers, and sheep and has invited all the king’s sons, Abiathar the priest, and Joab, the commander of the army, but he has not invited your servant Solomon.
20Now, my master, O king, all Israel is watching anxiously to see who is named to succeed my master the king on the throne.
21If a decision is not made, when my master the king is buried with his ancestors, my son Solomon and I will be considered state criminals.”

24Nathan said,“My master, O king, did you announce,‘Adonijah will be king after me; he will sit on my throne’?
25For today he has gone down and sacrificed many cattle, steers, and sheep and has invited all the king’s sons, the army commanders, and Abiathar the priest. At this moment they are having a feast in his presence, and they have declared,‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26But he did not invite me– your servant– or Zadok the priest, or Benaiah son of Jehoiada, or your servant Solomon.
27Has my master the king authorized this without informing your servants who should succeed my master the king on his throne?”
28David Picks Solomon as His Successor King David responded,“Summon Bathsheba!” She came and stood before the king.

18Bathsheba replied,“That’s fine, I’ll speak to the king on your behalf.”
19So Bathsheba visited King Solomon to speak to him on Adonijah’s behalf. The king got up to greet her, bowed to her, and then sat on his throne. He ordered a throne to be brought for the king’s mother, and she sat at his right hand.
20She said,“I would like to ask you for just one small favor. Please don’t refuse me.” He said,“Go ahead and ask, my mother, for I would not refuse you.”
21She said,“Allow Abishag the Shunammite to be given to your brother Adonijah as a wife.”
22King Solomon answered his mother,“Why just request Abishag the Shunammite for him? Since he is my older brother, you should also request the kingdom for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”
23King Solomon then swore an oath by the LORD,“May God judge me severely, if Adonijah does not pay for this request with his life!
