Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 3:5
And these were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shimea, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, four, of Bath-shua the daughter of Ammiel:
5 9 (= ch. 1Ch 14:4-7 and 2Sa 5:14-16). The Sons born to David in Jerusalem
5. Shimea ] in 1Ch 14:4 and 2Sa 5:14 (R.V.) Shammua.
Nathan ] Through him our Lord’s descent is traced in Luk 3:31.
Solomon ] Only here are other sons besides Solomon attributed to Bath-sheba.
Bathshua ] is a slight variation in pronunciation (with a consequent variation in meaning) of Bath-sheba.
the daughter of Ammiel ] of Eliam (perhaps a by-form of Ammiel) in 2Sa 11:3. An Eliam son of Ahithophel, David’s counsellor, is mentioned in 2Sa 23:34; Bath-sheba may therefore have been grand-daughter to Ahithophel. Notice that the Chronicler does not call Bath-sheba the wife of Uriah the Hittite; he nowhere refers to David’s great sin.

Bathshua, the daughter of Ammiel – Both names are here given in an unusual form, but it may be doubted whether in either case there has been any corruption. In Bathshua, for Bathsheba, a (v) replaces the (b) of the earlier writer, w and b having nearly the same sound. In Ammiel, for Eliam, the two elements which form the name are inverted, as in Jehoiachin =Jechoniah, and the like.

Verse 5. Shimea, and Shobab] Solomon is mentioned last, though he was the eldest of these four sons, because the genealogy was to be continued from him. Bath-shua is the same as Bath-sheba, the vau being put by mistake in the former for beth in the latter.

Four; all Davids children by her, as the text positively affirms; and therefore Solomon is called her
only son, Pro 4:3, because she loved him as if he had been so.
Ammiel, called also
Eliam, 2Sa 11:3. See Poole “2Sa 11:3“.

5. four, of Bath-shua the daughterof Ammielor, “Bath-sheba” (2Sa11:3), and there her father is called “Eliam.” Ofcourse Solomon was not her “only son,” but he is called so(Pr 4:3) from the distinguishedaffection of which he was the object; and though the oldest, he isnamed the last of Bath-sheba’s children.

Ver. 5-8. And these were born unto him in Jerusalem,…. Whose names follow, in all nine; there are but seven mentioned in 2Sa 5:14 the reason of which see in the notes there;

[See comments on 2Sa 5:16]. it may be observed that Bathsheba is here called Bathshua, and her father Ammiel, whose name is Eliam in 2Sa 11:3, names of much the same signification.

(5-8) The thirteen sons born in Jerusalem. See 2Sa. 5:14-16, and 1Ch. 14:4-7, where this list is repeated with some variations (1Ch. 3:5). The four sons of Bath-sheba, called here Bath-shua, a weakened form, if not a copyists error. By a similar change the Elishama of 1Ch. 3:6 appears in Samuel as Elishua.
Shimea (report) was a son of Jesse (1Ch. 2:13). Perhaps, therefore, Shammua (famous) is correct here, as in Samuel.
Ammiel and Eliam are transposed forms of the same name, meaning El is a tribesman (am=gens, el = deus). (Comp. Ahaziah and Jehoahaz, Nethaniah and Jehonathan, and many similar transpositions.) So in Gr. Theodoros and Dorotheos, Philotheos and Theophilos exist side by side.
