What does 1 Kings 1:15 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
1 Kings 1:15
And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the
chamber
Where he lay, being bedridden; she took Nathan's advice, and
directly went to the king's apartment:
and the king was very old:
and decrepit, borne down with the infirmities of old age, though
but seventy years of age:
and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the
king;
she was then waiting upon the king, and serving him with what was
necessary and proper for him; and perhaps there was no other in
the chamber at that time.
