1 Kings 1:1-3

International Standard Version

Adonijah’s Attempted Coup

1 When David had grown very old, they covered him with blankets, but he could not keep warm, ² so his servants suggested to him, “Let’s look for a young virgin woman to take care of you, your majesty. She will be of use to you if you have her lie down near you^[a] so that your majesty may keep warm.” ³ So they conducted a search throughout the territory of Israel for a beautiful young woman, and Abishag the Shunammite was located and brought to the king.
