Contextual Overview
12 Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingship was firmly established. 13 Now Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother. She asked, "Do you come peacefully?" "Peacefully," he replied, 14 and then asked, "May I talk with you?" "Go ahead," she answered. 15 "You know the kingship was mine," he said. "All Israel expected me to be king, but then the kingship was turned over to my brother, for the Lord gave it to him. 16 So now I have just one request of you; don't turn me down." She said to him, "Go on." 17 He replied, "Please speak to King Solomon since he won't turn you down. Let him give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife." 18 "Very well," Bathsheba replied. "I will speak to the king for you." 19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him about Adonijah. The king stood up to greet her, bowed to her, sat down on his throne, and had a throne placed for the king's mother. So she sat down at his right hand. 20 Then she said, "I have just one small request of you. Don't turn me down." "Go ahead and ask, mother," the king replied, "for I won't turn you down." 21 So she said, "Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah as a wife."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she said, let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. For so Adonijah was by his father's side; and Bathsheba makes use of the relation, the more to move upon him to grant the request.
