"Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not."
