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.

Then King Solomon made answer and said to his mother, Why are you requesting me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Take the kingdom for him in addition, for he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, are on his side.

Και αποκριθεις ο βασιλευς Σολομων ειπε προς την μητερα αυτου, Και δια τι συ ζητεις την Αβισαγ την Σουναμιτιν δια τον Αδωνιαν; ζητησον δι' αυτον και την βασιλειαν, διοτι ειναι μεγαλητερος μου αδελφος· και δι' αυτον και δια τον Αβιαθαρ τον ιερεα και δια τον Ιωαβ τον υιον της Σερουιας.
