1 Kings 1:5

Adonijah Seeks David's Throne

⁴ The young woman was very beautiful; she became the king's nurse and served him, but the king did not have sexual relations with her. ⁵ Now Adonijah, son of David and Haggith, was promoting himself, boasting, "I will be king!" He managed to acquire chariots and horsemen, as well as fifty men to serve as his royal guard. ⁶ (Now his father had never corrected him by saying, "Why do you do such things?" He was also very handsome and had been born right after Absalom.)
