I was actually thinking of German beten 'to pray', although I wonder if that comes from the same root as bitten 'to ask, to request'. I'm not sure about to beg, but I looked up the Wiktionary page for the English verb to bid, which would seem to confirm that to bid, å be, bitten and beten all share the same Proto-Germanic root 'bidjaną (which of course goes back to an earlier Indo-European root word). English to beg seems to come from a different root word, although they could still be related.
