2 Samuel 20:1-3

1Now a worthlessH1100 manH376 namedH8034 ShebaH7652 sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH376H3228, happenedH7122 to be thereH8033, and he blewH8628 the ram’s hornH7782 and shoutedH559:

“We have noH369 shareH2506 in DavidH1732,noH3808 inheritanceH5159 in Jesse’sH3448 sonH1121.Every manH376 to his tentH168,O IsraelH3478!”

2So allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 desertedH5927H310 DavidH1732 to followH310 ShebaH7652 sonH1121 of BichriH1075. But the menH376 of JudahH3063 stayed byH1692 their kingH4428 all the wayH5704 fromH4480 the JordanH3383 to JerusalemH3389.

3When DavidH1732 returnedH935 toH413 his palaceH1004 in JerusalemH3389, heH4428 tookH3947 the tenH6235H802 concubinesH6370 he had leftH5117 to take care ofH8104 the palaceH1004, and he placed themH5414 in a houseH1004 under guardH4931. He provided for themH3557, but he no longerH3808 slept withH413 themH935. They wereH1961 confinedH6887 untilH5704 the dayH3117 of their deathH4191, livingH2424 as widowsH491.
