2 Samuel 20:3 in Context — 2 Samuel 20
1 E aconteceu estar ali um homem perverso que se chamava Seba, filho de Bicri, homem de Benjamim, o qual tocou a trombeta, e disse: Não temos nós parte em Davi, nem herança no filho de Jessé: Israel, cada um a suas moradas!
2 Assim deixaram de seguir Davi todos os homens de Israel, e seguiam a Seba filho de Bicri: mas os de Judá se aderiram a seu rei, desde o Jordão até Jerusalém.
3 E logo que chegou Davi a sua casa em Jerusalém, tomou o rei as dez mulheres concubinas que havia deixado para guardar a casa, e as pôs em uma casa em guarda, e deu-lhes de comer: mas nunca mais entrou a elas, mas sim que ficaram encerradas até que morressem como viúvas.
4 Depois o rei disse a Amasa: Convoca-me os homens de Judá para dentro de três dias, e apresenta-te aqui.
5 Foi, pois, Amasa, convocar Judá; mas demorou-se além do tempo que lhe havia sido designado.
