1 Kings 1:3 in Context — 1 Kings 1
1 Quando o rei Davi era velho, e de idade avançada, cobriam-lhe de roupas, mas não se aquecia.
2 Disseram-lhe portanto seus servos: Busquem a meu senhor o rei uma moça virgem, para que esteja diante do rei, e o abrigue, e durma a seu lado, e aquecerá a meu senhor o rei.
3 E buscaram uma moça formosa por todo o termo de Israel, e acharam a Abisague sunamita, e trouxeram-na ao rei.
4 E a moça era formosa, a qual aquecia ao rei, e lhe servia: mas o rei nunca a conheceu.
5 Então Adonias filho de Hagite se levantou, dizendo: Eu reinarei. E preparou carros e cavaleiros, e cinquenta homens que corressem adiante dele.
