2 Samuel 20:2-4

Modern English Version

² So every man of Israel withdrew from following David and followed after Sheba the son of Bikri, but the men of Judah stayed with their king, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem.

³ When the king came to his house in Jerusalem, he took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep watch over the house, and he placed them in custody. He provided for them but did not go in to them. They were shut up until the day of their deaths, living as in widowhood.

⁴ Then the king said to Amasa, “Summon for me the men of Judah in three days, then present yourself here.”
