In modern Yiddish poetry, the biblical figure Abishag transforms from a minor character who warms King David's bed into a powerful symbol of Jewish folk wisdom and female agency. Yiddish poets Itzik Manger and Jacob Glatstein reimagined Abishag within the familiar world of the shtetl, elevating her through dialogue and song to become David's equal - a radical departure from her traditional portrayal. Through comparative literary analysis across multiple languages and cultural contexts, including works by Rilke and Gladys Schmitt, distinct patterns emerge in how poets recast the David-Abishag relationship. Manger's poetic cycle positions Abishag as an emblem of village communities displaced by urbanization, while Glatstein explores the sexual foundations of language and song's healing properties. Rilke offers a contrasting vision focused on silence and unfulfilled desire, with David as a tragic figure unable to bridge communication gaps. The uniquely Yiddish treatment of Abishag demonstrates the language's capacity to weave sacred and secular elements, transforming biblical narrative into contemporary social commentary while asserting the dignity and creative power of ordinary people, particularly women, within Jewish literary tradition. This reimagining spans multiple cultural contexts, revealing how traditional texts can be reborn through modern poetic interpretation.
