(1-4) King David grew old. The years had caught up with him. Even though they piled blankets on him, he couldn’t keep warm. So his servants said to him, “We’re going to get a young virgin for our master the king to be at his side and look after him; she’ll get in bed with you and arouse our master the king.” So they searched the country of Israel for the most ravishing girl they could find; they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king. The girl was stunningly beautiful; she stayed at his side and looked after the king, but the king did not have sex with her.

BRN And king David was old and advanced in days, and they covered him with clothes, and he was not warmed.
BrLXX ΚΑΙ ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ πρεσβύτερος προβεβηκὼς ἡμέραις, καὶ περιέβαλλον αὐτὸν ἱματίοις, καὶ οὐκ ἐθερμαίνετο.
(KAI ho basileus Dawid presbuteros probebaʸkōs haʸmerais, kai perieballon auton himatiois, kai ouk ethermaineto. )
1:1–2:12 The book of 1 Kings opens by emphasizing the continuity of the Lord’s covenant with David (see 2 Sam 7:11-16). Solomon was the legitimate and divinely chosen heir to what God had granted his father David. The challenges to Solomon’s succession to the throne (1 Kgs 1:1–2:46) foreshadowed challenges to his kingship at the end of his reign (11:1-43) and the continuing struggles between Israel and Judah thereafter.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
וְהַמֶּ֤לֶךְ
and,the,king
Here, the word Now introduces something that happened sometime after the events narrated at the end of the previous book (see 2 Samuel 24:1–25). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a later event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Later on, the king”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
זָקֵ֔ן בָּ֖א בַּיָּמִ֑ים
old he/it_came in_the=days
The phrases was old and came into the days mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “was extremely old”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בָּ֖א בַּיָּמִ֑ים
he/it_came in_the=days
Here, the phrase he came into the days indicates that David had lived very many days, so he was extremely old. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he was advanced in age” or “he had lived a long time”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיְכַסֻּ֨הוּ֙
and,covered,him
The pronoun they refers to David’s servants or attendants. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to them more directly. Alternate translation: “and his attendants covered him”
וְלֹ֥א יִחַ֖ם לֽוֹ
and=not get_warm to=him/it
Alternate translation: “but he could not keep warm”
