II Samuel 13:18

And she was clothed with a long robe: for the king's daughters, that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out; and shut the door after her.

Robe. Hebrew passim; long and variegated, like Joseph's, Genesis 37:3. The Septuagint call it, karpotos, to insinuate that it was "adorned with fruits," etc. (Haydock)
