1 Kings 1:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Adonijah’s Conspiracy

1 When King David was old and advanced in years, his servants covered him with blankets, but he could not get warm. ² So they said to him, “Let your servants search for a young woman, a virgin, for my lord the king. She will attend to the king and be his nurse. She will lie close to him and keep my lord the king warm.”

³ So they searched the whole territory of Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found Abishag from Shunem and brought her to the king.
