Solomon sees his Mother and says, "What is it you have come to ask of me mother? You know I will not refuse you."

So Jewish mothers tend to have influence over their son, right?

That worked out well!

1 Kings 2:22-25

22 King Solomon answered his mother, “And why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my older brother, and on his side are Abiathar the priest and Joab the son of Zeruiah.” 23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, “God do so to me and more also if this word does not cost Adonijah his life! 24 Now therefore as the Lord lives, who has established me and placed me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today.” 25 So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he struck him down, and he died.

Ask Jacob

Yeah, you pass.

I was hoping somebody'd look up the reference. But the relevance to my point, was Solomon's attitude towards Mom.
