2 Samuel 20:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ David arrived at his palace in Jerusalem. The king took the ten concubines whom he had left to take care of the house and put them in a residence that was under guard. He provided for them but did not go to them anymore. They were confined until the day of their death—a life of widowhood.

⁴ The king said to Amasa, “You have three days to bring all the men of Judah to me and to be here yourself.” ⁵ So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he took longer than the time that David had set for him.
