Expanded Bible

²¹ Ahithophel said, “Your father left behind some of his ·slave women [^Lconcubines; ^Csecondary wives; 3:7] to take care of the palace. ·Have sexual relations with [Sleep with; ^LGo into] them. Then all Israel will hear that ·your father is your enemy [^Lyou have gravely insulted/made yourself odious to your father], and all ·your people [Israel; or those who support you] will be ·encouraged to give you more [stronger in their] support.” ²² So they put up a tent for Absalom on the roof [^Cthe flat roofs of Israelite houses were used for living space] of ·his palace [^Lthe king’s house] where everyone in Israel could see it. And Absalom ·had sexual relations with [slept with; ^Lwent in to] his father’s ·slave women [concubines].
