So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.

2 Samuel 16:22 (WEB)

This biblical example is referring to King David's son Absalom and King David's concubines. Absalom rebelled against his father, King David, and attempted to take the throne. In his rebellion, Absalom was advised to sleep with King David's concubines and he did so. This was a fulfillment of a portion of the curse that King David received for his sin of adultery and for leading the man that he sinned against into death.
