Adonijah Presumes to Be King

1 Now King David was aold, advanced in years; and they put covers on him, but he could not get warm.  
2 Therefore his servants said to him, “Let a young woman, a virgin, be sought for our lord the king, and let her1 stand before the king, and let her care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that our lord the king may be warm.”  
3 So they sought for a lovely young woman throughout all the territory of Israel, and found aAbishag the bShunammite, and brought her to the king.  
4 The young woman was very lovely; and she cared for the king, and served him; but the king did not know her.

John Wesley's Notes
<< 2 Samuel 24:25   1 Kings 1:2 >>


1 Kings 1:1

Old - Being in the end of his seventieth year. No heat - Which is not strange in a person who had been exercised with so many hardships in war, and with such tormenting cares, and fears, and sorrows, for his own sins (as divers of his Psalms witness) and for the sins and miseries of his children and people. Besides, this might be from the nature of his bodily distemper.
