1 Kings 2:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ Then Bathsheba said, “Very well, I will speak to the king for you.”

¹⁹ So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to talk with him. When the king saw her, he stood up, bowed before her, and then sat back down. He told some servants to bring another throne for his mother, and she sat down at his right side.

²⁰ Bathsheba said to him, “I have one small thing to ask you. Please don’t refuse me.”

The king answered, “Ask whatever you want, mother. I will not refuse you.”
