1 Kings 1:1-5
1Now KingH4428 DavidH1732 wasH2204 oldH2204, 1advancedH935 in ageH3117; and they coveredH3680 him with garmentsH899, but he could not keepH2552 warmH2552. 2So his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, “Have them searchH1245 for a youngH5291 virginH1330 for my lordH113 the kingH4428, and have her 2attendH5975H6440 the kingH4428 and becomeH1961 his nurseH5532; and have her lieH7901 on your chestH2436, so that my lordH113 the kingH4428 may keepH2552 warmH2552.” 3So they searchedH1245 for a beautifulH3303 girlH5291 throughoutH3605 the territoryH1366 of IsraelH3478, and foundH4672 AbishagH49 the 3ShunammiteH7767, and broughtH935 her to the kingH4428. 4The girlH5291 was veryH3966 beautifulH3303; and she becameH1961 the king’sH4428 nurseH5532 and servedH8334 him, but the kingH4428 did not 4becomeH3045 intimateH3045 with her.
5Now 5AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 exaltedH5375 himself, sayingH559, “I will beH4427 kingH4427.” So 6he preparedH6213 for himself chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571, with fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him.
