The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Tetenderunt ergo Absalom tabernaculum in solario, ingressusque est ad concubinas patris sui coram universo Israël.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἔπηξαν τὴν σκηνὴν τῷ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς Ἰσραήλ.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיַּטּ֧וּ לְאַבְשָׁל֛וֹם הָאֹ֖הֶל עַל הַגָּ֑ג וַיָּבֹ֤א אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ אֶל פִּֽלַגְשֵׁ֣י אָבִ֔יו לְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

Haydock's commentary

Israel, who saw him enter the tents, (Calmet) on the flat roof, chap. xi. 2., and xii. 11. (Haydock)

The wives of the conquered king were reserved for the victor. Smerdis married all the wives of his predecessor, Cambyses. (Herodotus iii. 68, 83.) (Calmet)
