2 Samuel 20:1-3
1Now 1a worthless man happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of 2Bichri, a Benjaminite; and he blew the trumpet and said, “3We have no share in David, Nor do we have an inheritance in 4the son of Jesse; 5Every man to his tents, Israel!” 2So all the men of Israel 6withdrew from following David and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah 7remained loyal to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3Then David came to his house in Jerusalem, and 8the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left behind to take care of the house, and put them in custody and provided them with food, but did not 9have relations with them. So they were locked up until the day of their death, living as widows.
