2 Samuel 20:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And when the king was come into his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, allowing them provisions: and he went not in unto them, but they were shut up unto the day of their death living in widowhood.

⁴ And the king said to Amasa: Assemble to me all the men of Juda against the third day, and be thou here present.

⁵ So Amasa went to assemble the men of Juda, but he tarried beyond the set time which the king had appointed him.
