Now king
<04428>

David
<01732>

was old
<02204> (8804)

[and] stricken
<0935> (8804)

in years
<03117>_;

and they covered
<03680> (8762)

him with clothes
<0899>_,

but he gat no heat
<03179> (8799)_.

{stricken...: Heb. entered into days}

1:2

Wherefore his servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let there be sought
<01245> (8762)

for my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

a young
<05291>

virgin
<01330>_:

and let her stand
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and let her cherish
<05532> (8802)

him, and let her lie
<07901> (8804)

in thy bosom
<02436>_,

that my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

may get heat
<02552> (8804)_.

{Let there...: Heb. Let them seek} {a young...: Heb. a damsel, a virgin} {cherish...: Heb. be a cherisher unto him}

1:3

So they sought
<01245> (8762)

for a fair
<03303>

damsel
<05291>

throughout all the coasts
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

Abishag
<049>

a Shunammite
<07767>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

her to the king
<04428>_.

1:4

And the damsel
<05291>

[was] very
<03966>

fair
<03303>_,

and cherished
<05532> (8802)

the king
<04428>_,

and ministered
<08334> (8762)

to him: but the king
<04428>

knew
<03045> (8804)

her not.
