1 Kings 1:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ The young woman was very beautiful, and she served as the king’s nurse, but the king was not intimate with her.

⁵ Adonijah son of Haggith^[a] was pushing himself forward, saying, “I will become king.” He obtained a chariot and charioteers and fifty men to run ahead of him. ⁶ His father had never rebuked him by saying, “Why are you acting like this?”

Adonijah also was very handsome and had been born next in line after Absalom.
