1. And king David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover him with garments, and he hath no heat,
2. and his servants say to him, `Let them seek for my lord the king a young woman, a virgin, and she hath stood before the king, and is to him a companion, and hath lain in thy bosom, and my lord the king hath heat.'
3. And they seek a fair young woman in all the border of Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her in to the king,
4. and the young woman [is] very very fair, and she is to the king a companion, and serveth him, and the king hath not known her.
