2 Samuel 20:3-5

New Century Version

³ David came back to his palace in Jerusalem. He had left ten of his slave women there to take care of the palace. Now he put them in a locked house. He gave them food, but he did not have sexual relations with them. So they lived like widows until they died.

⁴ The king said to Amasa, “Tell the men of Judah to meet with me in three days, and you must also be here.” ⁵ So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together, but he took more time than the king had said.
