David in Old Age1 Now King° David° was old°, advanced° in age°; and they covered° him with clothes°, but he could not keep° warm°. 2 So his servants° said° to him, “Let them seek° a young° virgin° for my lord° the king°, and let her Iattend°° the king° and become° his nurse°; and let her lie° in your bosom°, that my lord° the king° may keep° warm°.” 3 So they searched° for a beautiful° girl° throughout all° the territory° of Israel°, and found° Abishag° the aShunammite°, and brought° her to the king°. 4 The girl° was very° beautiful°; and she became° the king’s° nurse° and served° him, but the king° did not Icohabit° with her. 5 ¶ Now aAdonijah° the son° of Haggith° exalted° himself, saying°, “I will be king°.” So bhe prepared° for himself chariots° and horsemen° with fifty° men° to run° before° him. 6 His father° had never° Icrossed° him at any° time° by asking°, “Why° have you done° so°?” And he was also° a very° handsome°° man°, and IIahe was born° after° Absalom°. 7 IHe had conferred° with aJoab° the son° of Zeruiah° and with bAbiathar° the priest°; and following° cAdonijah° they helped° him. 8 But aZadok° the priest°, bBenaiah° the son° of Jehoiada°, cNathan° the prophet°, dShimei°, Rei°, and ethe mighty° men° who° belonged to David°, were not with Adonijah°.

Nathan and Bathsheba11 ¶ Then Nathan° spoke° to aBathsheba° the mother° of Solomon°, saying°, “Have you not heard° that Adonijah° the son° of Haggith° has become° king°, and David° our lord° does not know° [it]? 12 So now° come°, please° let me agive° you counsel° and save° your life° and the life° of your son° Solomon°. 13 Go° Iat once° to King° David° and say° to him, ‘Have you not, my lord°, O king°, sworn° to your maidservant°, saying°, “aSurely° Solomon° your son° shall be king° after° me, and he shall sit° on my throne°”?
