Cross-reference
John 2:4
Contrast
In John 2:4, Jesus initially resists Mary's implied request ('My hour has not yet come') — contrasting with Solomon's immediate promise to grant Bathsheba's request.
Esther 5:3
Parallel
Esther 5:3 echoes the same royal promise — a king swearing to grant a woman's request, though Esther's leads to deliverance while Bathsheba's leads to intrigue.
Mark 10:35
Contrast
Mark 10:35 shows disciples making a similar open-ended request to Jesus, but he rebukes their ambition — contrasting with Solomon's initial openness.
