13 Adonija, fils de Haggith, alla vers Bath-Schéba, mère de Salomon. Elle lui dit: Viens-tu dans des intentions paisibles? Il répondit: Oui.
14 Et il ajouta: J’ai un mot à te dire. Elle dit: Parle!
15 Et il dit: Tu sais que la royauté m’appartenait, et que tout Israël portait ses regards sur moi pour me faire régner. Mais la royauté a tourné, et elle est échue à mon frère, parce que l’Éternel la lui a donnée.
16 Maintenant, je te demande une chose: ne me la refuse pas! Elle lui répondit: Parle!
17 Et il dit: Dis, je te prie, au roi Salomon – car il ne te le refusera pas – qu’il me donne pour femme Abischag, la Sunamite.
