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.
El rey Salomón respondió a su madre: '¿Por qué pides que se le dé Abisag la sunamita a Adonías? ¡También podrías pedir que se le dé el reino, ya que él es mi hermano mayor! Y mientras lo haces, pide también que se les dé poder a Abiatar el sacerdote y a Joab hijo de Sarvia.'
Salomón rechazó la petición de su madre porque entendía que darle Abisag a Adonías equivaldría a entregarle el trono.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of 1 Kings, King David had recently died, and his son Solomon was establishing his authority as the new king of Israel after being chosen by David. Adonijah, Solomon's older half-brother, had previously attempted to seize the throne but was spared, and now he was making a request through Bathsheba that Solomon perceived as a subtle challenge to his rule. Abishag was a young woman who had attended to David in his old age, and requesting her as a wife could symbolize a claim to royal power.
