Descendants of David and Solomon

These are the sons of David that were born to him in Hebron: the first-born Amnon, by Ahin′o-am the Jez′reelitess; the second Daniel, by Ab′igail the Car′melitess, the third Ab′salom, whose mother was Ma′acah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur; the fourth Adoni′jah, whose mother was Haggith; the fifth Shephati′ah, by Abi′tal; the sixth Ith′ream, by his wife Eglah; six were born to him in Hebron, where he reigned for seven years and six months. And he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem. These were born to him in Jerusalem: Shim′e-a, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, four by Bath-shu′a, the daughter of Am′mi-el; then Ibhar, Elish′ama, Eliph′elet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhi′a, Elish′ama, Eli′ada, and Eliph′elet, nine. All these were David’s sons, besides the sons of the concubines; and Tamar was their sister.
