1 Kings 1:1-4

New International Version NIV

1 When King David was very old, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him.

2 So his attendants said to him, “Let us look for a young virgin to serve the king and take care of him. She can lie beside him so that our lord the king may keep warm.”

3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

4 The woman was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him, but the king had no sexual relations with her.
