“So they set up a tent on the palace roof where everyone could see it, and Absalom went in and had sex with his father’s concubines.”
This was a fulfillment of the prophecy spoken against David by Nathan the prophet, after he committed adultery with Bathsheba: “I will give your wives to another man before your very eyes, and he will go to bed with them in public view. You did it secretly, but I will make this happen to you openly in the sight of all Israel.”
