2 Samuel 20:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

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

⁴ ¶ Then the king said to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah for the third day, and be thou here present.

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