And the king went out with all his household at his feet. But the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house.

And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you have become odious to your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.

So they spread out a tent for Absalom on the housetop, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines before the eyes of all Israel.

And he put them into custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison house, the place where Joseph was confined.
