2 Samuel 20:3-5

New American Standard Bible

³ Then David came to his house in Jerusalem, and ^(A)the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left behind to take care of the house, and put them in custody and provided them with food, but did not ^[a]have relations with them. So they were locked up until the day of their death, living as widows.

⁴ Now the king said to ^(B)Amasa, “Summon the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself.” ⁵ So Amasa went to summon the men of Judah, but he was ^(C)delayed longer than the set time which he had designated for him.
