1 Chronicles 3:8

_AND ELISHAMA, AND ELIADA, AND ELIPHELET, NINE._ Nine. The number of David's sons born after his removal to Jerusalem was eleven (2 Samuel 5:14), but only nine are mentioned here-two of them being omitted, either in consequence of their early deaths, or of their leaving no issue....

Verse 1 Chronicles 3:8. _NINE._] There are _thirteen_ if we count the _four_ sons of Bath-sheba, and _nine_ without them; and in the second book of Samuel there are _eleven_, reckoning the above _four_, and without them only _seven_. In the book of _Samuel_ probably only those who were _alive_ were reckoned, while the author of the _Chronicles_ comprises those also who were _dead_ in this enumeration. _Jarchi_ supposes that the duplicate _Elishama_ and _Eliphelet_ are those which increase the regular number _seven_ to _nine_; and that the dead without posterity, as well as the living, are mentioned to increase the number of David's descendants; for, says he, the whole book is written for the honour of David and his seed....

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 3:1 The whole of this chapter is occupied with the descendants of DAVID: the first nine verses of it with his own sons, classified according to the place of their birth, Hebron or Jerusalem; the remaining verses with the line of kings of his house to Jeconiah and Zedekiah (1 Chronicles 3:16), the grandsons of Zerubbabel (1 Chronicles 3:21), and descendants of Shechaniah (1 Chronicles 3:24).

CHAPTER 3 FROM DAVID TO ZEDEKIAH _ 1. The sons of David (1 Chronicles 3:1)_ 2. David's line to Zedekiah (1 Chronicles 3:10) 3. The sons of Jeconiah (1 Chronicles 3:16) Six sons were born to David during his reign in Hebron. Four are mentioned as the offspring from Bath-shua, another name for Bath-sheba (2 Samuel 11:3). Then follow the names of other nine sons. As the name Elishama appears twice, it has been suggested that one is Elishua (2 Samuel 5:15). Eglah is called David's wife. Some cl

PART I (1 Chronicles 1-9). GENEALOGICAL LISTS, TOGETHER WITH GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTES. These Chapter s form a general introduction to the whole work. They contain the following genealogies, often in an incomplete form: Adam to Israel (1 Chronicles 1:1 to 1 Chronicles 2:2) with the exception of Cain's descendants (Genesis 4:16) the whole material is taken from Genesis 1-36; Judah (1 Chronicles 2:3); David (1 Chronicles 3:1); Judah again, and made up of fragments ...

NINE. Eleven are mentioned in 2 Samuel 5:14. but probably two died young, and their names were not needed in the genealogy. Compare 2 Samuel 5:15....

_Eliada_ so in 2 Samuel 5:16, but in 1 Chronicles 14:7 _Beeliada_(i.e. Baaliada). The original reading, probably _Baaliada_("The Lord the Baal knows"), seems to have been changed to Eliada ("God knows") at the time at which the Hebrews ceased to apply the title _Baal_to Jehovah. From Hosea 2:16 it appears that _Baal_once used as an epithet of Jehovah fell into disuse owing to its overpoweringly heathen associations. Cp. 1 Chronicles 8:33, note....
