⁴ The girl was very beautiful, and she cared for the king and served him. But the king did not have sexual relations with her.

⁵ Adonijah was the son of King David and Haggith, and he ·was very proud [began boasting; ^Lexalted himself]. “I will be the king,” he said. So he got chariots and ·horses [or horsemen; charioteers] for himself and fifty men ·for his personal bodyguard [^Lto run ahead of him]. ⁶ Now David had never ·interfered with [disciplined; crossed; rebuked] Adonijah by ·questioning what he did [^Lasking, “Why are you doing that?”]. Born next after Absalom, Adonijah was a very handsome man.
