Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

In case anyone is interested in the answer that scholars have on the subject, plenty suggest that Abishag was intended as a concubine for the aging David who seemed to lack his old charisma and vitality. David's servants were hoping that introducing a hot young thing would get his blood running again, but the fact that he didn't have sex with her demonstrates that he either just wasn't interested and/or impotent (both sexually, and influtentially). whag's point that David ruled in a theocracy rather than a run-of-the-mill monarchy doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything. Every kingdom in this era was a theocracy, and as King's Gambit points out, David is never pictured positively by the Bible's authors for his sexual virtue. It was his great weakness, and it's what ultimately undid much of the good he attempted to accomplish.
