Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 20:3:

• Kupsabiny: “When David reached the home he ruled from in Jerusalem, he got his ten concubines whom he had left to keep/guard the home to go and stay in a house where they could be kept/taken care of and fed. But he did not meet with any of those women. Those women stayed like widows until they died.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “When David arrived at his palace in Jerusalem he had taken the ten concubines to another house, he kept soldiers to watch them. He gave them to eat and to drink, but did not sleep with them. In this way they were confined until they died [lit. as long as they did not die.] They had to be treated like widows [lit.: women who had no husbands].” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “When David had-returned to his palace in Jerusalem, he sent-for to bring into a house his ten wives whom he left to take-care the palace, and he had- them -guarded. He provided them their needs, but he did- not -lie-down-beside/(did- not -have-sexual-relations-with) them anymore. They stayed there as-if widows until they died.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “When David arrived at the palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten slave wives whom he had left there to take care of the palace and put them in another house. He put a guard at that house, and he provided for them what they needed, but he never had sexual relations with them again. So they remained shut up in their house until they died. It was as though they were widows.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
