10. Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David.
11. The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years he reigned in Hebron and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.
12. And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.
13. Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, "Do you come peacefully?" And he said, "Peacefully."
14. Then he said, "I have something to say to you." And she said, "Speak."
15. So he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel expected me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the Lord.
16. Now I am making one request of you; do not refuse me." And she said to him, "Speak."
17. Then 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."
18. Bathsheba said, "Very well; I will speak to the king for you."
19. So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king arose to meet her, bowed before her, and sat on his throne; then he had a throne set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right.
