1NowH3117 kingH4428 DavidH1732 was oldH2204 and stricken in yearsH3117; and they coveredH3680 him with clothesH899, but he gat noH3808 heat.

2Wherefore his servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, LetH1961 there be soughtH1245 for my lordH113 the kingH4428 a youngH5291 virginH1330: and letH1961 herH1961 standH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and cherishH2436 him; and letH1961 herH1961 lieH7901 in thy bosomH2436, that my lordH113 the kingH4428 may get heatH2552.

3SoH935 they soughtH1245 for a fairH3303 damsel throughoutH3605 allH3605 the coasts of IsraelH3478, and foundH4672 AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767, and broughtH935 herH3605 to the kingH4428.

4And the damsel was veryH3966 fairH3303; and sheH3808 cherished the kingH4428, and ministeredH8334 to him; but the kingH4428 knewH3045 herH1961 notH3808.
