Вернувшись в свой дворец в Иерусалиме, царь Давид взял десять наложниц, которых оставлял присматривать за дворцом, и поселил под охраной. Он их содержал, но не спал с ними; так они и жили затворницами, как вдовы, до самой смерти.
Then David came to his house at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and placed them under guard and provided them with sustenance, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up until the day of their death, living as widows.
