Abishag

In the Hebrew Bible, Abishag (/ˈæbɪʃæɡ/; Hebrew: אבישג Avishag) was a beautiful young woman of Shunem chosen to be a helper and servant to King David in his old age. Among Abishag's duties was to lie next to David and pass along her body heat and vigor because "they put covers on him, but he could not get warm".
