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.
KJV
Responditque rex Salomon, et dixit matri suæ : Quare postulas Abisag Sunamitidem Adoniæ ? postula ei et regnum : ipse est enim frater meus major me, et habet Abiathar sacerdotem, et Joab filium Sarviæ.
Vulgate
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Σαλωμὼν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Καὶ ἵνα τί σὺ ᾔτησαι τὴν Ἀβεισὰ τῷ Ἀδωνειά; καὶ αἴτησαι αὐτῷ τὴν βασιλείαν· ὅτι οὗτος ἀδελφός μου ὁ μέγας ὑπὲρ ἐμέ, καὶ αὐτῷ Ἀβιαθὰρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ αὐτῷ Ἰωὰβ ὁ υἱὸς Σαρουίας ὁ ἀρχιστράτηγος ἑταῖρος.
LXX
