What does 1 Kings 1:4 mean?

Abishag was stunning, and she took care of the king and looked after him. But David never slept with her. 1 Kings 1:4 - Modern Text Bible

(Abishag serves David closely, but their relationship is not sexual. This detail shows David's frailty and sets up later events about his succession.)
