But the king H4428 took H3947 the two H8147 sons H1121 of Rizpah H7532 the daughter H1323 of Aiah, H345 whom H834 she bore H3205 to Saul, H7586 Armoni H764 and Mephibosheth; H4648 and the five H2568 sons H1121 of Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul, H7586 whom she brought H3205 up for Adriel H5741 the son H1121 of Barzillai H1271 the Meholathite: H4259

And Rizpah H7532 the daughter H1323 of Aiah H345 took H3947 sackcloth, H8242 and spread H5186 it for her on the rock, H6697 from the beginning H8462 of harvest H7105 until H5704 water H4325 dropped H5413 on them out of heaven, H8064 and suffered H5414 neither H3808 the birds H5775 of the air H8064 to rest H5117 on H5921 them by day, H3119 nor the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 by night. H3915

And I gave H5414 you your master's H113 house, H1004 and your master's H113 wives H802 into your bosom, H2436 and gave H5414 you the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and of Judah; H3063 and if H518 that had been too little, H4592 I would moreover H3254 have given H3254 to you such H2007 and such H2007 things.

And Ahithophel H302 said H559 to Absalom, H53 Go H935 in to your father's H1 concubines, H6370 which H834 he has left H5117 to keep H8104 the house; H1004 and all H3605 Israel H3478 shall hear H8085 that you are abhorred H887 of your father: H1 then shall the hands H3027 of all H3605 that are with you be strong. H2388

So they spread H5186 Absalom H53 a tent H168 on the top H1406 of the house; H1004 and Absalom H53 went H935 in to his father's H1 concubines H6370 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 Israel. H3478

And he said, H559 Speak, H559 I pray H4994 you, to Solomon H8010 the king, H4428 (for he will not say H7725 you no,) that he give H5414 me Abishag H49 the Shunammite H7767 to wife. H802

And she said, H559 Let Abishag H49 the Shunammite H7767 be given H5414 to Adonijah H138 your brother H251 to wife. H802

And king H4428 Solomon H8010 answered H6030 and said H559 to his mother, H517 And why H4100 do you ask H7592 Abishag H49 the Shunammite H7767 for Adonijah? H138 ask H7592 for him the kingdom H4410 also; for he is my elder H1419 brother; H251 even for him, and for Abiathar H54 the priest, H3548 and for Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah. H6870
