2 Samuel 20:2-4

International Standard Version

² So all of the other Israeli soldiers^[a] abandoned David to follow Bichri’s son Sheba, while the army of Judah remained with the king all the way from the Jordan River^[b] to Jerusalem.

³ When David arrived at his palace in Jerusalem, the king took the ten mistresses^[c] whom he had left behind to keep the palace in order and placed them in a separate house, providing for them under the care of a protective guard. He never visited them again, so they were under care until they died, living as if their husbands had died.

⁴ Meanwhile, David ordered Amasa, “Muster the army of Judah here within three days, and be here yourself!”
