1 | 1 | Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. |
1 | 2 | Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat. |
1 | 3 | So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. |
1 | 4 | And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not. |
1 | 5 | Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. |
