15 So Bath-sheba went in unto the king, into the chamber, now, the king, was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite, was ministering unto the king.

16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did homage unto the king, and the king said What aileth thee?

17 And she said unto him My lord, thou thyself, didst swear by Yahweh thy God, unto thy handmaid, Assuredly, Solomon thy son, shall become king after me, yea, he, shall sit upon my throne.
