Jerusalem, also known as the City of David, became the capital after David conquered it from the Jebusites. This city holds a central place in biblical history and prophecy, being the site of the future temple and the eternal city in eschatological visions.<p><b>Shammua,</b><br>Shammua is the first son listed, and his name means "heard" or "announced." While not much is known about Shammua himself, his inclusion in the list signifies the continuation of David's lineage. The name reflects a common biblical theme of God hearing and responding to His people, as seen in other biblical figures with similar names.<p><b>Shobab,</b><br>Shobab, whose name means "rebellious" or "backsliding," is another son of David. The name might reflect the tumultuous nature of David's family life, marked by internal strife and rebellion, as seen in the later actions of some of his children. This highlights the human aspect of biblical figures, who, despite their divine calling, faced personal and familial challenges.<p><b>Nathan,</b><br>Nathan, meaning "gift" or "given," is significant not only as David's son but also as a name associated with the prophet Nathan, who played a crucial role in David's life. The prophet Nathan confronted David about his sin with Bathsheba and later supported Solomon's claim to the throne. This connection underscores the theme of divine grace and forgiveness, as well as the prophetic voice guiding Israel's kings.<p><b>Solomon,</b><br>Solomon, whose name means "peaceful," is perhaps the most well-known of David's sons. He succeeded David as king and is renowned for his wisdom, wealth, and the building of the First Temple in Jerusalem. Solomon's reign is seen as a foreshadowing of the Messianic kingdom, characterized by peace and prosperity. His wisdom is celebrated in the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon, and he is a type of Christ, the ultimate King of Peace. Solomon's birth is also significant in the context of God's promise to David of an everlasting dynasty, fulfilled ultimately in Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The central figure in this passage, David is the king of Israel who established his reign in Jerusalem.
