@ Now
king
David
was
old

stricken
in
years
; and they
covered
him with
clothes
, but he gat no
heat
.
strkjv@1Kings: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

may get
heat
.
strkjv@1Kings:1:3
@ So they
sought
for a
fair
damsel
throughout all the
coasts

Israel

found
Abishag

brought
her to the
king
.
strkjv@1Kings:1:4
@ And the
damsel
was
very
fair
, and
cherished
the
king
, and
ministered
to him: but the
king
knew
her not.
strkjv@1Kings:1:5
@ Then
Adonijah
the
son

Haggith
exalted
himself,
saying
, I will be
king
: and he
prepared
him
chariots

horsemen
, and
fifty
men
to
run
before
him.
strkjv@1Kings:1:6
@ And his
father
had not
displeased
him at any
time

saying

so
? and he also was a
very
goodly
man; and his mother
bare
him
after
Absalom

strkjv@1Kings:1:7
@ And he
conferred
with
Joab
the

the
priest

helped
him.

Adonijah

strkjv@1Kings:1:9
@ And
Adonijah
slew
sheep

oxen

cattle

called
all his
