And unto David were sons born in Hebron<\/strong>,…. He was married before he came there, had wives in his state of exile, but had no children by them there, at least no sons; if any, only daughters:<\/p>\n and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess<\/strong>; who being mentioned first, and her son his firstborn, seems to have been his wife before be took Abigail; he had not much comfort of this firstborn son of his; see 2Sa 13:1<\/span>.<\/p>\n Growth of the House of David. – Proof of the advance of the house of David is furnished by the multiplication of his family at Hebron. The account of the sons who were born to David at Hebron<\/em> does not break the thread, as Clericus, Thenius, and others suppose, but is very appropriately introduced here, as a practical proof of the strengthening of the house of David, in harmony with the custom of beginning the history of the reign of every king with certain notices concerning his family (vid., 2Sa 5:13<\/span>.; 1Ki 3:1<\/span>; 1Ki 14:21<\/span>; 1Ki 15:2<\/span>, 1Ki 15:9<\/span>, etc.). We have a similar list of the sons of David in 1Ch 3:1-4<\/span>. The first two sons were born to him from the two wives whom he had brought with him to Hebron (1Sa 25:42-43<\/span>). The Chethibh<\/em> is probably only a copyist’s error for , which is the reading in many Codices. From Ahinoam<\/em> – the first-born, Amnon<\/em> (called Aminon in 2Sa 13:20<\/span>); from Abigail – the second, Chileab<\/em>. The latter is also called Daniel<\/em> in 1Ch 3:1<\/span>, and therefore had probably two names. The lamed<\/em> before Ahinoam and the following names serves as a periphrasis for the genitive, like the German von <\/em>, in consequence of the word son<\/em> being omitted (vid., Ewald<\/em>, 292, a<\/em>.). The other four were by wives whom he had married in Hebron: Absalom<\/em> by Maachah<\/em>, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur, a small kingdom in the north-east of Bashan (see at Deu 3:14<\/span>); Adonijah<\/em> by Haggith<\/em>; Shephatiah<\/em> by Abital<\/em>; and Ithream<\/em> by Eglah<\/em>. The origin of the last three wives is unknown. The clause appended to Eglah’s name, viz., “David’s wife,”<\/em> merely serves as a fitting conclusion to the whole list (Bertheau on 1Ch 3:3<\/span>), and is not added to show that Eglah was David’s principal wife, which would necessitate the conclusion drawn by the Rabbins, that Michal was the wife intended.<\/p>\n (2-5) And unto David.<\/strong>The list of Davids sons born during his seven and a half years reign in Hebron rather interrupts the continuity of the narrative, but is quite in accordance with the habit of the sacred historians to insert at the beginning or at some turning point in each reign statistics about the house or family of the king. (See 1Sa. 14:49-51<\/span>; 2Sa. 5:13<\/span>; 1Ki. 3:1<\/span>; 1Ki. 14:21<\/span>; 1Ki. 15:2<\/span>; 1Ki. 15:9<\/span>, &c.)<\/p>\n Amnon.<\/strong>Written Aminon in 2Sa. 13:20<\/span>. His great crime and miserable end are related in 2 Samuel 13<\/span>.<\/p>\n Chileab.<\/strong>Called Daniel in 1Ch. 3:1<\/span>. None of the attempts to explain these as two forms of the same name have been successful. Either, therefore, Chileab is an error of the scribe (all but the first letter being the same as the first three letters of the following word), or, more probably, Chileab had a double name. Nothing further is known of him, and as he does not appear in the subsequent troubles, it is supposed that he died early. These two sons were born of the wives whom David had taken while an outlaw.<\/p>\n Absalom.<\/strong>His history, rebellion, and death are narrated in 2 Samuel 13-18. His mother was the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur, a petty province north-east of Bashan. How David was brought into connection with him, and whether this alliance had any political object or not, we are not told, but the fact that Absalom in his exile naturally sought refuge with his maternal grandmother (2Sa. 13:37<\/span>) may have had a connection with Davids subsequent campaigns in that region.<\/p>\n Adonijah.<\/strong>After the death of his three elder brothers, Adonijah considered himself the rightful heir to the throne, and embittered the last days of his father by a rebellion (1 Kings 1<\/span>). He was at last put to death by Solomon (1Ki. 2:25<\/span>).<\/p>\n Of the other two sons, Shephatiah and Ithream, and of the mothers of the last three, nothing is known, although there is an absurd Jewish tradition that Eglah was another name for Michal.<\/p>\n 2<\/strong>. <\/strong> Unto David were sons born <\/strong> This was one important way in which the house of David was made stronger, and to show this is manifestly the purpose of the writer in introducing here this list of David’s sons. Compare the list in 1Ch 3:1-4<\/span>.<\/p>\n (2) And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; (3) And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; (4) And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; (5) And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The sacred historian hath given a list of six of David’s children. Strange that David should have multiplied wives, contrary to the law of his GOD; (see that strong precept, Deu 17:17<\/span> .) What a source of vexation did it open in his family!<\/p>\n 2Sa 3:2 And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;<\/p>\n Ver. 2. And unto David were sons born in Hebron.<\/strong> ] None born during his exile: a sweet providence. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And his firstborn was Amnon.<\/strong> ] Who was none of the best; as was neither Absalom, Adoniah, &c.

Unto David sons were born of Ahinoam He had no children, it seems, by this wife during his exile; or if he had, they were daughters. The daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur A part of Syria, northward from the land of Israel. How David came by this wife it is not easy to say. Perhaps he married her out of policy, that he might have a powerful friend and ally in her father, to assist him against Ish-bosheths party in the north, while himself opposed them in the south. But if so, he paid dear for making piety give place to policy, as the history of Absalom, whom he had by her, shows.<\/p>\n And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; 2. unto David were sons born inHebronThe six sons mentioned had all different mothers.
