“You’re missing the point about Abishag. She was to try to arouse King David sexually in order to have him rally his failing will to live.”

The scripture is painfully clear that she was nothing more than a glorified hot water bottle to keep a very old man warm....and NOT in the sexual manner. However, there are those perverse enough to suggest otherwise. Whatever, it certainly is NOT a sanction for polygamy. I think you have well named yourself in that your words are asinine.

Oh, c'mon. She was the most beautiful young woman that there was at the time. If she was just a "hot water bottle" why go through all the trouble of finding the most attractive woman known to them to lie in bed with the old guy? Why not just give the ailing King a real hot water bottle, or maybe some heated rocks or something? Or maybe a guy? Why not?

Your position is patently absurd.

BTW, some say that Abishag was the inspiration for the young woman in the Song of Songs. And that thing was about as sexual as it can be.

So, the "human hot water bottle" thing is ludicrous.
