1 Kings 1:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible

3 So they looked through all the land of Israel for a beautiful young woman. They chose Abishag, who lived in Shunem.[a] They brought her to the king. 4 She was very beautiful. She took care of the king as his servant. But the king did not have sex with her.

5 At that time, David's son Adonijah, was telling everyone, ‘I will become the next king.’[b] He got for himself chariots and men who would ride on horses. He also had 50 men to run in front of him as his guards.[c] Haggith was Adonijah's mother.
