Adonijah approaches Bathsheba

13Then Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon, and she said, “Do you come in peace?” And he said, “In peace.”

14Then he said, “I have something to say to you.” And she said, “Speak.”

15And he said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel had set their faces on me to reign; but the kingdom turned and became my brother’s, for it was his from Yahweh.”

16And now I am asking one request of you; do not turn away my face. And she said to him, “Speak.”
