1 Kings 1:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible

4 She was very beautiful. She took care of the king as his servant. But the king did not have sex with her.

5 At that time, David's son Adonijah, was telling everyone, ‘I will become the next king.’[a] He got for himself chariots and men who would ride on horses. He also had 50 men to run in front of him as his guards.[b] Haggith was Adonijah's mother. 6 His father, David, had never warned him when he did something wrong. He never asked Adonijah, ‘Why are you doing that?’ Adonijah was also very handsome. He was born after Absalom as David's next son.[c]
