1 Kings 1:3 in Context — 1 Kings 1
1 Le roi David était vieux, avancé en âge; on le couvrait de vêtements, et il ne pouvait se réchauffer.
2 Ses serviteurs lui dirent: Que l’on cherche pour mon seigneur le roi une jeune fille vierge; qu’elle se tienne devant le roi, qu’elle le soigne, et qu’elle couche dans ton sein; et mon seigneur le roi se réchauffera.
3 On chercha dans tout le territoire d’Israël une fille jeune et belle, et on trouva Abischag, la Sunamite, que l’on conduisit auprès du roi.
4 Cette jeune fille était fort belle. Elle soigna le roi, et le servit; mais le roi ne la connut point.
5 Adonija, fils de Haggith, se laissa emporter par l’orgueil jusqu’à dire: C’est moi qui serai roi! Et il se procura un char et des cavaliers, et cinquante hommes qui couraient devant lui.
