Commentary
3 notes on this verseAnd Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet. Seven more by some other wife or wives; nine are mentioned in 1Ch 3:6; there being in that account two Eliphalets, and another called Nogah; which two, one of the Eliphalets, and Nogah, might die without sons, as Kimchi thinks, and so are not mentioned here.

more concubines and wives
on 2 Samuel 5:13-16
David takes concubines and wives in Jerusalem, though the law for Israel's king says, “He must not take many wives for himself”, at Deuteronomy 17:17. The sons born there are named, among them Nathan and Solomon, both sons of Bathsheba by 1 Chronicles 3:5.
This site's exposition
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet
Gill reads the seven sons of verses 15 and 16 as born to David's other wives. First Chronicles 3:6-8 counts nine, with a second Eliphelet and a son named Nogah. Kimchi, as Gill reports, held that both died without sons.
