She is to lie by your side so that my lord the king will get warm.” 3 They searched for a beautiful girl throughout the territory of Israel; they found Abishag(B) the Shunammite[b](C) and brought her to the king. 4 The girl was of unsurpassed beauty,(D) and she became the king’s caregiver. She served him, but he was not intimate with[c] her.
