1 Kings 1:1-4

AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H4428 Now king H1732 David H2204 was old H935 and stricken H3117 in years; H3680 and they covered H899 him with clothes, H3808 but he got no H3179 heat.

2 H5650 Why his servants H559 said H1245 to him, Let there be sought H113 for my lord H4428 the king H5291 a young H1330 virgin: H5975 and let her stand H6440 before H4428 the king, H5532 and let her cherish H7901 him, and let her lie H2436 in your bosom, H113 that my lord H4428 the king H2552 may get heat.

3 H1245 So they sought H3303 for a fair H5291 damsel H3605 throughout all H1366 the coasts H3478 of Israel, H4672 and found H49 Abishag H7767 a Shunammite, H935 and brought H4428 her to the king.

4 H5291 And the damsel H3966 was very H3303 fair, H5532 and cherished H4428 the king, H8334 and ministered H4428 to him: but the king H3045 knew her not.

old.David was probably now about sixty-nine years of age. He was thirty years old when he began to reign, reigned forty, and died in his seventieth year; and the transactions mentioned here are supposed to have taken place about a year before his death. Sixty-nine was not an advanced age; but he had been exhausted with various fatigues, and especially family afflictions, so that he was much older in constitution than in years.
