Hebron, located in the southern part of Judah, is one of the oldest cities in the region and holds historical significance as the burial place of the patriarchs (<a href="/genesis/23-19.htm">Genesis 23:19</a>). This period in Hebron lasted seven and a half years before David became king over all Israel (<a href="/2_samuel/5-4.htm">2 Samuel 5:4-5</a>). The sons born to David during this time represent the beginning of his royal lineage, which would eventually lead to the birth of Jesus Christ, fulfilling the prophecy of the Messiah coming from the line of David (<a href="/isaiah/11.htm">Isaiah 11:1</a>, <a href="/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1:1</a>).The firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam of Jezreel: Amnon, as the firstborn son, held a position of prominence and potential succession to the throne. His mother, Ahinoam, was from Jezreel, a city in the northern part of Israel, indicating David's alliances and marriages extended beyond Judah. Amnon's later actions, particularly his sin against his half-sister Tamar (2 Samuel 13), led to significant family strife and foreshadowed the turmoil within David's household. This reflects the biblical theme of the consequences of sin and the complexities of familial relationships.The second was Daniel by Abigail of Carmel: Daniel, also known as Chileab in some texts (<a href="/2_samuel/3-3.htm">2 Samuel 3:3</a>), is the son of Abigail, the widow of Nabal. Abigail's story is one of wisdom and intervention, as she prevented David from committing bloodshed (1 Samuel 25). Her marriage to David after Nabal's death signifies a union of respect and mutual understanding. Daniel's mention here, despite his lack of further biblical narrative, underscores the importance of lineage and the fulfillment of God's promises through David's descendants. The name Daniel, meaning "God is my judge," may reflect the divine oversight and justice that permeates David's life and reign.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The second king of Israel, a man after God's own heart, and a central figure in the Old Testament.

The sons and mothers agree with those of the parallel passage in Sam., with the one exception of the second son, who is here called Daniel, but in Samuel, Chileab. The LXX. (<a href="/2_samuel/3-3.htm" title="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;">2Samuel 3:3</a>) has ???????, which may represent Heb. Delaiah (Iah hath freed), though in our <a href="/1_chronicles/3-24.htm" title="And the sons of Elioenai were, Hodaiah, and Eliashib, and Pelaiah, and Akkub, and Johanan, and Dalaiah, and Anani, seven.">1Chronicles 3:24</a> that name is spelt ???????, or ??????. In the present passage the Vatican LXX. has ???????, the Alex. ????????. Perhaps Daniel is a corruption of Delaiah, as this name recurs in the line of David. Chileab may have had a second name (comp. Uzziah-Azariah, Mattaniah-Zedekiah), especially as Chileab appears to be a nickname, meaning "dog." (Comp. the Latin Canidius, Caninius, as a family name.) . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 1-9. - The whole of this chapter is occupied with the descendants of David: the first nine verses of it with his own sons, classified according to the place of their birth, Hebron or Jerusalem; the remaining verses with the line of kings of his house to Jeconiah and Zedekiah (ver. 16), the grandsons of Zerubbabel (ver. 21), and descendants of Shechaniah (ver. 24). To the seven years and six months (<a href="/2_samuel/2-11.htm">2 Samuel 2:11</a>) of David's reign at Hebron six sons belong, each of a different mother. To the thirty and throe years (<a href="/2_samuel/5-5.htm">2 Samuel 5:5</a>; <a href="/1_kings/2-11.htm">1 Kings 2:11</a>) of his reign at Jerusalem belong other thirteen sons, viz. four of one mother, Bethshua, and nine of other mothers, whose names are not given. The list of the six Hebron sons, with their mothers, is nearly identical with that of <a href="/2_samuel/3-2.htm">2 Samuel 3:2-5</a>, although the differences, slight as they are, would of the two indicate our list here rather as not copied than copied thence. The only noticeable difference, however, is in the name of the second son, announced here as Daniel, instead of Chileab, while the Septuagint has Δαλουία. This, together with the circumstance that one word would, as regards the Hebrew characters, comparatively easily convert into the other. renders it probable that it is merely a corrupt text or text obscure at this point which has occasioned the difference. The meaning of the name Daniel, put side by side with what we read in <a href="/1_samuel/24-15.htm">1 Samuel 24:15</a>, 25:39, suggests strongly that it is the right name of the two. It was a name likely to be given by David to his first child by Abigail. Additional suspicion is thrown on the name Chileab through the three last letters of it, "leab," constituting also the three first of the very next word," of Abigail" (לַאְביִנַיִל) which looks very much like the over-haste of the pen uncorrected. It is remarkable that the Syriac and Arabic versions translate "Caleb," both here and in the parallel passage. For the sons born in Jerusalem we have all three parallel lists at command, and the variations are rather greater. The other two lists are in <a href="/2_samuel/5-14.htm">2 Samuel 5:14-16</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/14-4.htm">1 Chronicles 14:4-7</a>. The first of these omits Eliphelet and Nogah (possibly they died young or without issue), and the latter calls Eliphelet Elpalet (אֶלְפֶלֶט). Again, Shimeah and Elishama in our passage must yield, overruled by the consent of the other two, to Shammuah and Elishua. Again, it is to be noticed that the name Eliada (God (אֶל) knoweth), on occasion of its latest occurence (<a href="/1_chronicles/14-7.htm">1 Chronicles 14:7</a>), appears as Beeliada (the Lord (בַעַל) knoweth), preserving therein probably its earlier form, viz. that used before a settled bad sense had come to be attached to the word Baal (see 'Speaker's Commentary,' in loc.). <a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/3-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>These וְאֵ֤לֶּה (wə·’êl·leh) Conjunctive waw | Pronoun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_428.htm">Strong's 428: </a> These, those were הָיוּ֙ (hā·yū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be the sons בְּנֵ֣י (bə·nê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of David דָויִ֔ד‪‬ (ḏā·w·yiḏ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1732.htm">Strong's 1732: </a> David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesse who אֲשֶׁ֥ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that were born נֽוֹלַד־ (nō·w·laḏ-) Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3205.htm">Strong's 3205: </a> To bear young, to beget, medically, to act as midwife, to show lineage to him ל֖וֹ (lōw) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> in Hebron: בְּחֶבְר֑וֹן (bə·ḥeḇ·rō·wn) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2275.htm">Strong's 2275: </a> Hebron -- 'association, league', a city in southern Judah The firstborn הַבְּכ֣וֹר ׀ (hab·bə·ḵō·wr) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1060.htm">Strong's 1060: </a> Firstborn, chief [was] Amnon, אַמְנֹ֗ן (’am·nōn) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_550.htm">Strong's 550: </a> Amnon -- 'faithful', two Israelites by Ahinoam לַאֲחִינֹ֙עַם֙ (la·’ă·ḥî·nō·‘am) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_293.htm">Strong's 293: </a> Ahinoam -- 'my brother is delight', two Israelite women of Jezreel;
