1 Kings 1:1-4

David in Old Age

1 Now King David was old, ^{▼▼Lit coming into days}advanced in age; and they covered him with garments, but he could not keep warm. 2 So his servants said to him, “Have them search for a young virgin for my lord the king, and have her ^{▼▼Lit stand before}attend the king and become his nurse; and have her lie on your chest, so that my lord the king may keep warm.” 3 So they searched for a beautiful girl throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the ^cShunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 The girl was very beautiful; and she became the king’s nurse and served him, but the king did not ^{▼▼Lit know her}become intimate with her.
