No, concubines in ancient Israel were not exclusively non-Israelite women. While many concubines were indeed foreign, as seen in the biblical accounts of figures like Abraham and Jacob, Israelite men could also take Israelite women as concubines. The status of concubines was distinct from that of wives, often involving different social and legal rights, but their ethnic background varied.
