2 Samuel 20:3-5

3When David came to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines he had left to look after the palace and placed them in seclusion. Their needs were provided for, but he no longer slept with them. So each of them lived like a widow until she died.

4Then the king told Amasa, “Mobilize the army of Judah within three days, and report back at that time.”

5So Amasa went out to notify Judah, but it took him longer than the time he had been given.
