15 E ele disse: Tu sabes que o reino era meu, e que todo Israel havia posto em mim seu rosto, para que eu reinasse: mas o reino foi traspassado, e veio a meu irmão; porque pelo SENHOR era seu.
16 E agora eu te faço uma petição: não a negues a mim. E ela lhe disse: Fala.
17 Ele então disse: Eu te rogo que fales ao rei Salomão (porque ele não negará a ti), para que me dê a Abisague, a sunamita, por mulher.
18 E Bate-Seba disse: Está bem; eu falarei por ti ao rei.
19 E veio Bate-Seba ao rei Salomão para falar-lhe por Adonias. E o rei se levantou a recebê-la, e inclinou-se a ela, e voltou a sentar-se em seu trono, e fez pôr uma cadeira à mãe do rei, a qual se sentou à sua direita.
