living widowhood (the state of grass-widows, 2 Samuel 20:3)
This abstract noun describes the peculiar state of 'living widowhood' - women whose husbands are alive but from whom they are permanently separated. Second Samuel 20:3 uses it of David's concubines who were violated by Absalom and then secluded for life. The phrase literally means 'widowhood of livingness,' capturing the paradox of being functionally widowed while the husband lives.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Appears only in 2 Samuel 20:3 describing the permanent isolation of David's concubines. The phrase 'widowhood of living' (Spanish 'de-vida,' French 'de-vivant') captures their liminal status - neither truly widows nor wives. The Septuagint 'living widows' reflects the same concept: socially and sexually isolated despite their husbands' survival. 1×
