1 KINGS 2:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.”
"And Bathsheba said, 'Very well; I will speak for you to the king.'" — Bathsheba agrees to plead Adonijah's case: *tov ani adaber al-yadkha el-ha-melekh*. Her agreement appears accommodating; she will serve as Adonijah's advocate with Solomon. The narrative expects her to do so—she is the queen mother, Adonijah's aunt by marriage, and his request seems superficially reasonable.
