1 Chronicles 3:1-9
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Sons of David
3 Now these were the sons of David who were born for him in Hebron: the firstborn, Amnon, whose mother was Ahinoam from Jezre’el, the second, Daniel, whose mother was Abigail from Carmel,
2 the third, Absalom, whose mother was Ma’akah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur, the fourth, Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith,
3 the fifth, Shephatiah, whose mother was Abital, the sixth, Ithream, whose mother was David’s wife Eglah.
4 So there were six sons born to David in Hebron, and he ruled as king there for seven years and six months.
David ruled as king for thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 5 These sons were born to him in Jerusalem:
four sons of Bathshua the daughter of Ammiel:[a] Shimea,[b] Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;
6 nine other sons: Ibhar, Elishama, Eliphelet, 7 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 8 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
9 All these were the sons of David. In addition, there were the sons of the concubines, and Tamar was their sister.
