Solomon Sits
on the Throne of David his Father
Once Solomon began to sit on the throne of David his father, his kingdom began to be established greatly. And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she asked him if he was coming to her in peace, and he responded and said yes. Then he told Bathsheba that he wanted to speak to her; and she told him to say on. And he told her that she knew that the kingdom was his, and that all Israel had their faces set on him to be king. But he told her the situation has been turned around and the kingdom has become his brother’s, because it was his from the Lord. So now he told her, I have a petition to make to you; and Bathsheba told him to speak. And he asked her to speak to Solomon her son on his behalf that he give her Abishag the Shunammite to wife. And Bathsheba said, “I will speak to the king for thee.” She, therefore, went unto King Solomon and spoke to him for Adonijah. And when she arrived, the king sat on his throne and caused a seat to be provided for his mother so that she sat on his right hand. And she said, “I desire one small petition of thee. I pray thee say me not nay.” And the king said, “Ask on my mother for I will not say nay to thee.” And she said “Let Abishag be given to Adonijah thy brother for wife.” Then Solomon asked his mother why he was making such a request, and also why she did not request the kingdom for him also and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah? Therefore King Solomon swore by the Lord saying, “God do so unto me and more also if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
