Bible verse
Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king.
1 Kings 1:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Kings 1.
1 Now King David was old and well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm.
2 So his servants said to him, “Let us search for a young virgin for our lord the king, to attend to him and care for him and lie by his side to keep him warm.”
3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king.
4 The girl was unsurpassed in beauty; she cared for the king and served him, but he had no relations with her.
5 At that time Adonijah, David’s son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, “I will be king!” And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of him.
6 (His father had never once reprimanded him by saying, “Why do you act this way?” Adonijah was also very handsome, born next after Absalom.)
7 So Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, who supported him.
