1 Chronicles 3:1

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:1-9

We had an account of David's sons, 2 Sam. 3:2-5; 5:14-16 1. He had many sons; and no doubt wrote as he thought, Ps. 127:5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of these arrows. 2. Some of them were a grief to him, as Amnon, Absalom, and Adonijah; and we do not read of any of them that imitated his piety or devotion except Solomon, and he came far short of it. 3. One of them, which Bath-sheba bore to him, he called Nathan, probably in honour of Nathan the prophet, who reproved him for his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:1-4

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; see Gill on 2 Samuel 3:5 , to which is added an account of his reign both in Hebron and Jerusalem, agreeably to 2 Samuel 5:5 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 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... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 3:1

1 Chronicles 3:1. Daniel This son is called Chileab, (2 Samuel 3:3,) but whether he had two names, or there be an error in one of these passages, is not possible to determine. The other alterations in names, which are found in the following verses, may be corrected by the parallel passages in Samuel. As the genealogy of Judah was given first, because the dominion was vested in that tribe, and the Messiah was to descend from it; so, for similar reasons, the genealogy of David is... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:1-24

Descendants of Judah and Simeon (2:1-4:43)Having listed the children of Jacob (Israel) starting with the eldest son Reuben, the writer immediately turns his attention to the tribe of Judah, the tribe that produced the dynasty of David (2:1-17). He traces the line of David first, then goes back to deal with a number of other important people in Judah and lists their descendants (18-55). On completing this, he returns to list the family of David (3:1-9), the descendants of David who reigned after... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:1

1 Chronicles 3:1. Daniel— In 2Sa 3:3 this son is called Chileab. Probably he had two names. The other alterations in names, which are found in the following verses; may be compared with the parallel passages in Samuel.
