Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 1-4 Now these were the sons of David,.... The six following born in Hebron, who are reckoned in the same order as in 2 Samuel 3:2, only here the second son is called Daniel, who there goes by the name of Chileab; he had two names, the reason of which see there; and here David's wife, Eglah, is said in the Targum to be Michal, Saul's daughter, 2 Samuel 3:2- :, to which is added an account of his reign both in Hebron and Jerusalem, agreeably to 2 Samuel 5:5.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The sons of David - The writer returns to the point at which he had left the posterity of Ram 1 Chronicles 2:9, 1 Chronicles 2:15, and traces out the family of David - the royal house of the tribe of Judah.
Daniel - See the marginal note and reference.
There are three lists of the sons of David, born in Jerusalem.
| 2 Samuel 5:14-16 | 1 Chronicles 3:5-8 | 1 Chronicles 14:4-7 |
| 1. Shammuah | Shimeah* | Shammuah |
| 2. Shobab | Shobab | Shobab |
| 3. Nathan | Nathan | Nathan |
| 4. Solomon | Solomon | Solomon |
| 5. Ibhar | Ibhar | Ibhar |
| 6. Elishua | Elishama* | Elishua |
| 7. a | Eliphelet* | Elpalet* |
| 8. a | Nogah | Nogah |
| 9. Nepheg | Nepheg | Nepheg |
| 10. Japhia | Japhia | Japhia |
| 11. Elishama | Elishama | Elishama |
| 12. Eliada | Eliada | Beeliada* |
| 13. Eliphelet | Eliphelet | Eliphelet |
| (Differences are marked with an asterick). | ||
A comparison of the three lists serves to show:
(1) that “Shimeah” and the first “Elishama” in the list of this chapter are corruptions;
(2) that David had really 13 sons born in Jerusalem, of whom two - the first Eliphelet and Nogah - probably died in their childhood; and
(3) that Eliada, the twelfth son, was also called Beeliada, the term Baal, “lord,” not having (previous to the introduction of the Baal worship) a bad sense, but being regarded as an equivalent with El, “God.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER III
The children of David which were born to him in Hebron, 1-4.
Those born to him in Jerusalem, 5-9.
The regal line from Solomon, 10-24.
NOTES ON CHAP. III
Verse 1 Chronicles 3:1. The second, Daniel — In 2 Samuel 3:3, this person is called Chileab; he probably had two names. The Targum says, "The second, Daniel, who was also called Chileab, because he was in every respect like to his father." The Targumist refers here to the import of the word כלאב ke-le-ab, like to the father. Jarchi says the two names were given to this person because David, having taken Abigail immediately after the death of Nabal, it could not be ascertained whether this child were the son of David or of Nabal, therefore David called him דניאל Daniel, God is my Judge, and כלאב Chileab, he who is like to the father; probably from the striking resemblance he bore to David, his reputed father. "God is my Judge, I have not fathered another man's child; this is entirely like unto myself."
