Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 3:9
[These were] all the sons of David, beside the sons of the concubines, and Tamar their sister.
Verse 9. And Tamar their sister.] This is the only daughter of David whose name is on record; and yet he is said to have had both SONS and DAUGHTERS, 2Sa 5:13.

These were all the sons of David,…. By his wives:
beside the sons of the concubines; who are not reckoned, and how many they were is not known; he had ten concubines at least, 2Sa 15:16 and
2Sa 20:3.
And Tamar their sister; not the sister of the sons of the concubines, but of his other sons, and only of Absalom by the mother’s side, of whom see 2Sa 13:1.

(9) Sons of the concubines.Davids concubines (pilagshim, ) are mentioned several times in Samuel (e.g., 2Sa. 12:11), but their sons here only. However repugnant to modern ideas, it was and is part of the state of an Oriental potentate to possess a harem of many wives.
And Tamar (was) their sister.Not the only one, but the sister whose unhappy fate had made her famous (2 Samuel 13).
A comparison of the above lists of Davids sons with the parallels in Sam. makes it improbable that they were drawn from that source; for (1) the Hebrew text of the chronicle appears, in this instance, to be quite as original as that of Samuel; (2) Some of the names differ, without our being able to pronounce in favour of one or the other text; (3) The form of the lists is different, especially that of the second. The chronicler alone gives the number of the four and nine sons, assigning the former to Bathshua the daughter of Ammiel, and arranging the latter in three triads. 1Ch. 3:9 also is wanting in Samuel.

Observe, that as the Holy Ghost is only careful to preserve the lineal descent of David’s family in a faithful register, with an eye to Jesus, no mention is made of the names of David’s children by his concubines.

Ver. 9. And Tamar their sister. ] She was David’s only daughter, as Dinah also was Jacob’s; whose grief therefore was the greater for the violation of them.
