So Bathsheba went to see the old king in his room. Abishag, the Shunammite, was taking care of him there.
King David was now very old. He couldn’t keep warm even when blankets were spread over him.
While you are still talking to the king, I’ll come in and support what you have said.”
Bathsheba bowed low in front of the king. “What do you want?” the king asked.
So David’s attendants looked all over Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found Abishag. She was from the town of Shunem. They brought her to the king.
