2 Samuel 20:1-3

1And there happenedH7122 to be there a base fellow, whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blewH8628 the trumpetH7782, and saidH559, We have no portionH2506 in DavidH1732, neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: every manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478. 2So all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up from following DavidH1732, and followed ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of Bichri; but the menH376 of JudahH3063 clave unto their kingH4428, from the JordanH3383 even to JerusalemH3389.

3And DavidH1732 cameH935 to his houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389; and the kingH4428 tookH3947 the tenH6235 womenH802 his concubinesH6370, whom he had left to keepH8104 the houseH1004, and putH5414 them in ward, and providedH3557 them with sustenance, but wentH935 not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the dayH3117 of their deathH4194, living in widowhoodH491.
