1 Kings 1:1-4

1 Adonijah Sets Himself Up as King
When King David was old and well advanced in years, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him.

2 So his servants said to him, “Let us look for a young virgin to attend the king and take care of him. She can lie beside him so that our lord the king may keep warm.”

3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl and found Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

4 The girl was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him, but the king had no intimate relations with her.
