OOMs ?

Silver tanks spread in the bending loom of the lane, in the crossways belt track the float - hills never held the secret so close that pricking beams could not penetrate, and sundown sands dragged away the simple chute flown with burnt rind.

So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast his cloak upon him.
1 Kings 19:19

Oxen were expensive animals, so Elisha probably came from a very wealthy family. There were twelve teams of oxen plowing together in a field, with Elisha working the twelfth.

Sabbath peace to all of you and may you all grow in the knowledge and love of our Messiah Yeshua!

In the ancient Hebrew cultural context, a concubine was a wife with all the legal protections and obligations that implies, but she was also a purchased slave with all of the protections and obligations implied by that status. It was a lesser position than a free wife, but how good or bad life might be depended almost entirely on the local culture and the specific family. Just like everything else.
