Family of David

These were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: the firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; second, Daniel (Chileab), by Abigail the Carmelitess; third, Absalom the son of Maacah, daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; fifth, Shephatiah, by Abital; sixth, Ithream, by his wife Eglah. These six were born to David in Hebron; he reigned there seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years. These were born to David in Jerusalem: [a]Shimea (Shammua), Shobab, Nathan, Solomon—four by Bath-shua (Bathsheba) daughter of Ammiel (Eliam); then Ibhar, Elishama (Elishua), Eliphelet (Elpelet), Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Eliada (Beeliada), and Eliphelet—nine in all. All these were the sons of David, besides the sons of the [b]concubines; and Tamar was their sister.
