1 Kings 1:1-3

Good News Translation

King David in His Old Age

1 King David was now a very old man, and although his servants covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm. ² So his officials said to him, “Your Majesty, let us find a young woman to stay with you and take care of you. She will lie close to you and keep you warm.” ³ A search was made all over Israel for a beautiful young woman, and in Shunem they found such a woman named Abishag, and brought her to the king.
