19 So Bathsheba went to talk to King Solomon for Adonijah. The king got up from his throne to meet her, and bowed before her. Then he sat back down and ordered another throne brought in for his mother. She sat to his right.
20 "I have just one small request to ask of you," she said. "Please don’t say no."
The king replied, "Ask away, dear mother. I won’t say no to you."
