Yet another reason for seeking a concubine was to demonstrate control over the assets and legacy of a father or king.

She was similar in that the Bible describes her marriage partner as her “husband” and includes her along with sons, daughters, and wives as a member of the ancient household (Judg 20:4-6; 2 Sam 19:5).
