Abishag (Woman living at the time of United Monarchy)
Brought in to keep the old king warm in his last days, and the record is careful to say nothing happened. The trouble came later: when Adonijah asked to marry her, Solomon read it as a move on the throne and had him killed.

Abishag was a beautiful young woman brought to warm the elderly and ailing King David in his final days, and though the relationship was apparently not sexual, Adonijah's later request to marry her was read by Solomon as a renewed claim on the throne, a request that cost Adonijah his life.
