English meaning and historical usage.

Dictionary data is kept visibly separate from Scripture and from lexical Strong's data.

concubine

CONCUBINE, noun [Latin , to lie together, to lie down.]

1. A woman who cohabits with a man, without the authority of a legal marriage; a woman kept for lewd purposes; a kept mistress.

2. A wife of inferior condition; a lawful wife, but not united to the man by the usual ceremonies, and of inferior condition. Such were Hagar and Keturah, the concubines of Abraham; and such concubines were allowed by the Roman laws.
