Context
Sheba’s Rebellion
20:1 Now a wicked man named Sheba son of Bicri , a Benjaminite , happened to be there . He blew the trumpet and said , “We have no share in David ; we have no inheritance in this son of Jesse ! Every man go home , O Israel !”
20:2 So all the men of Israel deserted David and followed Sheba son of Bicri . But the men of Judah stuck by their king all the way from the Jordan River to Jerusalem .
20:3 Then David went to his palace in Jerusalem . The king took the ten concubines he had left to care for the palace and placed them under confinement . Though he provided for their needs , he did not have sexual relations with them. They remained in confinement until the day they died , living out the rest of their lives as widows .
20:4 Then the king said to Amasa , “Call the men of Judah together for me in three days , and you be present here with them too.”
20:5 So Amasa went out to call Judah together. But in doing so he took longer than the time that the king had allotted him.
