1 Kings 1:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Adonijah Makes Himself King

1 King David was now very old. He couldn’t keep warm even when blankets were spread over him. ² So his attendants spoke to him. They said, “You are our king and master. Please let us try to find a young virgin to serve you. She can take care of you. She can lie down beside you to keep you warm.”

³ So David’s attendants looked all over Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found Abishag. She was from the town of Shunem. They brought her to the king.
