ABISHAG
Beautiful young woman from Shunem who was appointed to care for David during his last days (1 Kgs 1:1-4). After David’s death, Adonijah asked permission from his half brother King Solomon to marry Abishag. In the ancient Near East, to claim the concubine of a deceased king was to claim the throne. Enraged, Solomon ordered Adonijah to be killed (1 Kgs 2:13-25).
