KJV - 1 Kings 2:22

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.

King Solomon replied, "Why do you want Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him to be king too, because he is my older brother. Also ask for Abiathar the priest and Joab, Zeruiah's son."
