2 Samuel 20:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ So David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten women, his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them away under guard and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

⁴ Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble the men of Judah to me within three days, and you be present here.

⁵ So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah, but he tarried longer than the set time which had been appointed him.
