1 Kings 1:1-4

Living Bible

1 In his old age King David was confined to his bed; but no matter how many blankets were heaped upon him, he was always cold.

² “The cure for this,” his aides told him, “is to find a young virgin to be your concubine and nurse. She will lie in your arms and keep you warm.”

^3-4 So they searched the country from one end to the other to find the most beautiful girl in all the land. Abishag, from Shunam, was finally selected. They brought her to the king, and she lay in his arms to warm him (but he had no sexual relations with her).
