And King David was old, going on in days. And they covered him with clothes, but he got no heat.
1Ki 1:2 And his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and let her nurse him, and let her lie in your bosom, so that my lord the king may get heat.
1Ki 1:3 And they sought out a beautiful girl throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag, a Shunammite. And they brought her to the king.
1Ki 1:4 And the girl was very beautiful. And she nursed the king and served him. But the king did not know her.
Which raises the question. Was King David endowed with aged honor, or just too old to cut the mustard any more?
One more of those questions which begs to be answered.
