21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother, to wife.
22 Then answered King Solomon, and said to his mother––Wherefore, then, art thou asking Abishag the Shunammite, for Adonijah? ask, then, for him the kingdom, because he is mine elder brother,––even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab, son of Zeruiah.
23 Then swore King Solomon by Yahweh, saying,––So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if, at the cost of his life, Adonijah hath not spoken this word.
24 Now, therefore, by the life of Yahweh, who hath established me, and seated me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made for me a household, as he had spoken, surely, today, shall Adonijah be put to death!
