Joab Assassinates Amasa
3 David went up to his house in Jerusalem, then the king took the ten concubines whom he had left to look after the house, and he put them {under confinement}. However, he provided for them, but {he did not sleep with them}. So they were confined until the day of their death, like a lifetime of widowhood. 4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon for me the men of Judah [within] three days, {and be here yourself}." 5 So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he tarried more than the appointed time which he had set for him.
