1 Kings 1:1-4 - David's Last Days

1 When king David was waxen old and stricken in years, though they covered him with clothes, yet he caught no heat. 2 Wherefore his servants said unto him, "Let there be sought for my lord the king a young maiden to wait upon him and to cherish him. And let her lie in his bosom, that my lord the king may get heat." 3 And so they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel and found one Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 4 And the damsel was exceeding fair, and cherished the king and ministered to him: But the king knew her not.
