⁴ Now the young woman was very beautiful; she was of use for the king, and she served him, but the king did not {have sexual relations with her}. ⁵ Now Adonijah the son of Haggith was exalting himself, saying, "I will be king," so he prepared for himself a chariot and horsemen and fifty men running before him. ⁶ His father did not rebuke him {at any time} [by] saying, "Why did you do so?" Now he was also very handsome of appearance; she had borne him after Absalom.
