2 Samuel 20:1-3

1Now 1a worthlessH1100 fellowH376 happenedH7122 to be thereH8033 whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of 2BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH376H3228; and he blewH8628 the trumpetH7782 and saidH559, “3We haveH369 noH369 portionH2506 in DavidH1732, NorH3808 do we have inheritanceH5159 in 4the sonH1121 of JesseH3448; 5EveryH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478!” 2So allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 6withdrewH5927 from followingH310 DavidH1732 and followedH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075; but the menH376 of JudahH3063 7remainedH1692 steadfastH1692 to their kingH4428, from the JordanH3383 even to JerusalemH3389.

3Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to his houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389, and 8the kingH4428 tookH3947 the tenH6235 womenH802, the concubinesH6370 whomH834 he had leftH5117 to keepH8104 the houseH1004, and placedH5414 them under guardH1004H4931 and providedH3557 them with sustenanceH3557, but did not goH935 in to them. So they were shutH6887 up untilH5704 the dayH3117 of their deathH4191, livingH2424 as widowsH491.
