2. Abishag
a) Abishag was a young woman from Shunem who was employed by David's
physicians to care for him in his old age (1 Kings 1:1-4, 15).
b) The treatment implies that the physicians thought that a dying David
could be revived through contact with a youthful person. The treatment

to marry Abishag (1 Kings 2:17). Solomon saw Adonijah's request as an
attempt to seize the throne. He had Adonijah killed (1 Kings 2:13-25).
