2 Samuel 20:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 20:3

And David came to his house at Jerusalem
His palace there, which was in that part of the city called the fort of Zion, and city of David:

and the king took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to
keep the house;
when he fled from Jerusalem because of Absalom, ( 2 Samuel 15:16 ) ;

and put them in ward;
partly as a punishment for easily yielding to the lust of Absalom, and partly that they might not be seen, which would bring to remembrance his sin:

and fed them;
he did not put them to death, nor put them away, but kept them thus confined, and made a proper provision for them, not suffering them to marry any other, and be maintained by them:

but went not in unto them:
into their apartments to lie with them, having been defiled by his son, ( 2 Samuel 16:22 ) ;

so they were shut up unto the day of their death;
kept in the ward till they died:

living in widowhood;
neither used by the king as his concubines, as they had been before, nor suffered to many any other; or "in the widowhood of life" F15, which is so expressed, to distinguish it from widowhood made by death; this was such sort of widowhood as obtained while their husband was living; so the Targum,

``widows of their husband alive,''

or remaining.

2 Samuel 20:3 In-Context

1 Revuelta de Seba
Sucedi贸 que hab铆a un alborotador all铆 de nombre Seba, hijo de Bicri, un hombre de la tribu de Benjam铆n. Seba toc贸 un cuerno de carnero y comenz贸 a repetir:
芦隆Abajo la dinast铆a de David!
No nos interesa para nada el hijo de Isa铆.
Vamos, hombres de Israel,
todos a sus casas禄.
2 As铆 que todos los hombres de Israel abandonaron a David y siguieron a Seba, hijo de Bicri. Pero los hombres de Jud谩 se quedaron con su rey y lo escoltaron desde el r铆o Jord谩n hasta Jerusal茅n.
3 Cuando David lleg贸 a su palacio en Jerusal茅n, tom贸 a las diez concubinas que hab铆a dejado para que cuidaran el palacio y las puso en reclusi贸n. Les provey贸 para sus necesidades, pero no volvi贸 a acostarse con ninguna. De modo que cada una de ellas vivi贸 como una viuda hasta que muri贸.
4 Luego David le dijo a Amasa: 芦Moviliza al ej茅rcito de Jud谩 dentro de tres d铆as y enseguida pres茅ntate aqu铆禄.
5 As铆 que Amasa sali贸 a notificar a la tribu de Jud谩, pero le llev贸 m谩s tiempo del que le fue dado.
