Account Adonijah Adoni'jah Adonijah's Bathsheba Bath-sheba Bathshe'ba Behalf Bowed Boweth Caused Got King's Low Meet Placeth Ready Riseth Rose Sat Seat Sitteth Solomon Speak Stood Talk Throne
2:19 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and {k} bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
(k) In token of reverence, and that others by his example might have her in greater honour.
2:12-25 Solomon received Bathsheba with all the respect that was owing to a mother; but let none be asked for that which they ought not to grant. It ill becomes a good man to prefer a bad request, or to appear in a bad cause. According to eastern customs it was plain that Adonijah sought to be king, by his asking for Abishag as his wife, and Solomon could not be safe while he lived. Ambitious, turbulent spirits commonly prepare death for themselves. Many a head has been lost by catching at a crown.
