1 Kings 1:3-6 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. They searched for a beautiful girl throughout the territory of Israel; they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king.

4. The girl was of unsurpassed beauty, and she became the king’s caregiver. She served him, but he was not intimate with her.

5. Adonijah son of Haggith kept exalting himself, saying, “I will be king! ” He prepared chariots, cavalry, and 50 men to run ahead of him.

6. But his father had never once reprimanded him by saying, “Why do you act this way? ” In addition, he was quite handsome and was born after Absalom.
