Commento su I Re 1:2
וַיֹּ֧אמְרוּ ל֣וֹ עֲבָדָ֗יו יְבַקְשׁ֞וּ לַאדֹנִ֤י הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ נַעֲרָ֣ה בְתוּלָ֔ה וְעָֽמְדָה֙ לִפְנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וּתְהִי־ל֖וֹ סֹכֶ֑נֶת וְשָׁכְבָ֣ה בְחֵיקֶ֔ךָ וְחַ֖ם לַאדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Pertanto i suoi servi gli dissero: 'Lascia che venga cercata per il mio signore re una giovane vergine; e lasciala stare davanti al re, ed essere un compagno per lui; e lasciala mentire nel tuo seno, affinché il mio signore, il re, possa avere calore.'
Rashi on I Kings

And be a companion unto him: This means - guard the treasury. And this would be the reason that she could come to lie in his bosom and the man would not feel it.

A warmer. “A warmer,”4Koheles 10:9. and similarly, “and he who chops wood will be warmed [יסכן] by them.”5Alternatively, סכנת means that she should be “near” to him.—Targum
