1 Kings 1:1-5

1Now King David was old, 1advanced in age; and they covered him with garments, but he could not keep warm. 2So his servants said to him, “Have them search for a young virgin for my lord the king, and have her 2attend the king and become his nurse; and have her lie on your chest, so that my lord the king may keep warm.” 3So they searched for a beautiful girl throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the 3Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4The girl was very beautiful; and she became the king’s nurse and served him, but the king did not 4become intimate with her.

5Now 5Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” So 6he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men to run before him.
