2 Samuel 20:3-5
GOD’S WORD Translation
3 When David came to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines [a] he had left to look after the palace and put them in a house under guard. He provided for them but no longer slept with them. So they lived like widows in confinement until they died.
4 The king told Amasa, “Call the people of Judah together for me, and in three days be here yourself.” 5 Amasa went to call Judah together, but he took longer to do it than David had given him.
