← 2 Samuel 20:2	2 Samuel 20:3 (KJV)	2 Samuel 20:4 →
So every man of Israel went up from after David, [and] followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.	And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.	Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
