1 King David was now very old. He couldn't keep warm even when blankets were spread over him.
2 So his servants spoke to him. They said, "You are our king and master. Please let us try to find a young virgin to help you. She can take care of you. She can lie down beside you. Then you can keep warm."
3 So David's servants looked all over Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found Abishag. She was from the town of Shunem. They brought her to the king.
4 The woman was very beautiful. She took care of the king and served him. But the king didn't have sex with her.
