2 Samuel 12:11
Konteks12:11 This is what the Lord says: ‘I am about to bring disaster on you 1 from inside your own household! 2 Right before your eyes I will take your wives and hand them over to your companion. 3 He will have sexual relations with 4 your wives in broad daylight! 5
2 Samuel 16:21-22
Konteks16:21 Ahithophel replied to Absalom, “Have sex with 6 your father’s concubines whom he left to care for the palace. All Israel will hear that you have made yourself repulsive to your father. Then your followers will be motivated to support you.” 7 16:22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, 8 and Absalom had sex with 9 his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
2 Samuel 20:3

The king took the ten concubines he had left to care for the palace and placed them under confinement. 11 Though he provided for their needs, he did not have sexual relations with them. 12 They remained in confinement until the day they died, living out the rest of their lives as widows.
