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. 2So 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.” 3So they searched for a beautiful girl throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the cShunammite, and brought her to the king. 4The 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.
