2 SAMUEL 5:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.”
After he came from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem — David expands his harem in Jerusalem, fathering more children. The proliferation of wives and concubines (פִּילַגְשִׁים, p̄îlagəšîm) signals dynastic expansion and political alliance-building. Yet the practice will eventually contribute to familial chaos.
