1 Kings 1:5 in Context — 1 Kings 1
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.
6 Son père ne lui avait de sa vie fait un reproche, en lui disant: Pourquoi agis-tu ainsi? Adonija était, en outre, très beau de figure, et il était né après Absalom.
7 Il eut un entretien avec Joab, fils de Tseruja, et avec le sacrificateur Abiathar; et ils embrassèrent son parti.
