It is the women Abraham and David had on the side. In ancient times, it was proper for men of high class to have mistresses. They were called concubines.

Either a wife after the main wife of a king. Really more like a slave wife used for sex. The children of these women would not be the heir to the thrown, his main wife's first born son would be.
