took more wives at Jerusalem

on 1 Chronicles 14:3-7

The list of sons born in Jerusalem repeats the record already given at 1 Chr 3:5-8, Chronicles keeping the roster twice where Samuel gives it only once at 2 Sam 5:14-16. Clarke counts the spread across the witnesses, eleven names in the Hebrew of Samuel, thirteen here, and twenty-four in the Septuagint, a variance he leaves to the versions rather than resolving. The doubling fits the book's practice of laying every line of David's house on record for a remnant checking its own descent. Solomon's name stands third among the Jerusalem sons, already marked out before a word is said of his reign.
