The fifth, Shephatiah of Abital: the sixth, Ithream by Eglah his wife.
3. Eglah his wife ] In 2Sa 3:5 “Eglah David’s wife,” where however David is probably a wrong reading for the name of a previous husband of Eglah.

Verse 3. By Eglah his wide.] The Targum, Jarchi, and others, maintain that this was Michal, the daughter of Saul; but this does not well agree with 2Sa 6:23: Michal had no child to the day of her death. Yet she might have had a child before the time that is mentioned above.

Which title belongs either to all the foregoing women; or rather, as the singular number showeth, to Eglah only, last mentioned; who possibly may be so called, because she was his first, and therefore most proper, wife, though her son was born after all the rest before mentioned, and therefore both she and her son are put in the sixth place; the wives being here named only for the sons sakes. See more on 2Sa 3:5.

3. Eglah his wifesupposed tobe another name of Michal, who, though she had no son after hermockery of David for dancing before the ark [2Sa 6:16;2Sa 6:20], might have had oneprevious to that time. She has the title of wife appended to her namebecause she was his proper wife; and the mention of her name lastprobably arose from the circumstance that, having been withdrawn fromDavid and married to another husband but afterwards restored, she hadin reality become the last of his wives.

(3) Eglah (heifer) his wife.Eglah is not marked out as principal wife of David. The expression his wife is added simply to balance the clause, to make up for the absence of details respecting her connexions, such as are given in the case of some of the other wives. Jewish expositors have groundlessly identified Eglah with Michal, daughter of Saul (1Sa. 18:20).

1Ch 3:3. By Eglah his wife Eglah is generally thought by the Jews to be Michal, Sauls daughter; who, some think, is peculiarly called his wife, because she was his only legal wife, according to the divine institution: all the rest he took according to the custom then reigning. See on 2Sa 3:5.
