2 Samuel 20:3-5

New International Version - UK

³ When David returned to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines he had left to take care of the palace and put them in a house under guard. He provided for them but had no sexual relations with them. They were kept in confinement till the day of their death, living as widows.

⁴ Then the king said to Amasa, ‘Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and be here yourself.’ ⁵ But when Amasa went to summon Judah, he took longer than the time the king had set for him.
