11:002:009 Now therefore hold him not guiltless:  for thou art a wise man,
           and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar
           head bring thou down to the grave with blood.

11:002:010 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of
           David.

11:002:011 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: 
           seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years
           reigned he in Jerusalem.

11:002:012 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his
           kingdom was established greatly.

11:002:013 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother
           of Solomon.  And she said, Comest thou peaceably?  And he said,
           Peaceably.

11:002:014 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee.  And she
           said, Say on.

11:002:015 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that
           all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign:  howbeit
           the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s:  for
           it was his from the lord.

11:002:016 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not.  And she said
           unto him, Say on.

11:002:017 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for
           he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the
           Shunammite to wife.

11:002:018 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

11:002:019 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him
           for Adonijah.  And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed
           himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a
           seat to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right
           hand.

11:002:020 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray
           thee, say me not nay.  And the king said unto her, Ask on, my
           mother:  for I will not say thee nay.

11:002:021 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah
           thy brother to wife.

11:002:022 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why
           dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him
           the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him,
           and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

11:002:023 Then king Solomon sware by the lord, saying, God do so to me,
           and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against
           his own life.

11:002:024 Now therefore, as the lord liveth, which hath established me,
           and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made
           me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death
           this day.
