Some have proposed that Abishag is the Shulammite in The Song of Solomon. If that is true, then Solomon himself wanted her as a part of his inheritance from David, as well as her recorded desirable beauty and chastity. We know both ladies were a part of Solomon's court and if she was the one Solomon desired for himself, the motive for Adonijah would be more than mere natural beauty, but have personal and political implications. This would also explain Solomon's extreme reaction of executing Adonijah.

Why did King Solomon order the death of Adonijah?
At 1 Kings 1:52, he said that he would not harm Adonijah as long as he showed himself a worthy man. However, in chapter 2, he ordered the death of Adonijah merely because he sought Solomon's approval to marry a woman. Solomon punished the priest Abiathar, who had previously helped Adonijah, and Joab who did not, although he later befriended him. Then he ordered Shimei, who had not been allied with Adonijah, never to leave Jerusalem. Afterwards, Shimei briefly left Jerusalem to recapture and bring back his slaves, so Solomon had him killed. Shortly after these events, Solomon, in a dream, asked God for wisdom. Arguably, the reason for the stories of Adonijah and the others was to demonstrate to the reader Solomon's lack of good judgement, as a foil for the qualities he would soon display.
