Ab´uh-shag

A Shunamite maiden brought to minister to the dying King David (1Kgs 1:4, 1Kgs 1:15). Although David did not have sexual relations with her (v. 4), Solomon chose to view her as one of David’s wives; when Adonijah requested to marry her, Solomon had him executed for treason (1Kgs 2:13-25).
