very old: 1 Kings 1:2-4
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber,.... Where he lay, being bedridden; she took Nathan's advice, and directly went to the king's apartment:
and the king was very old: and decrepit, borne down with the infirmities of old age, though but seventy years of age:
and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king; she was then waiting upon the king, and serving him with what was necessary and proper for him; and perhaps there was no other in the chamber at that time.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Into the chamber - The “bed-chamber” or “inner chamber.” Abishag was a disinterested witness present, who heard all that Bath-sheba said to David.
