1 Kings 1:3-5

International Standard Version

³ So they conducted a search throughout the territory of Israel for a beautiful young woman, and Abishag the Shunammite was located and brought to the king. ⁴ The young woman was absolutely beautiful. She served the king and was very useful to him. The king was not sexually involved with her.

⁵ Meanwhile, about this time Haggith’s son Adonijah began to seek a reputation for himself and decided,^[a] “I’m going to be king!” So he prepared chariots, cavalry, and 50 soldiers to serve as a security detail to guard him.^[b]
