Now Michal, Saul’s daughter, had no children to the day of her death.

They went through all the land and after nine months and twenty days came back to Jerusalem.

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.
