Translations
King Solomon shot back at his mother: "Why are you asking for Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? You might as well ask me to hand him the kingdom! He is my older brother — ask the kingdom for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah while you're at it!"
King Shlomo answered and said to his mother, "And why do you ask Avishag the Shunammite for Adoni-Yah? Ask the kingdom for him as well — for he is my elder brother! — yes, for him and for Evyatar the priest and for Yo'av son of Tzeruya!"
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.
King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Since he is my older brother, you might as well request the kingdom for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”
