← 2 Samuel 20:3	2 Samuel 20:4 (KJV)	2 Samuel 20:5 →
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.	So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
