Commentary
2 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
After the throne is secure David multiplies wives and concubines from Jerusalem, against the very law given for Israel's king, that he shall not multiply wives to himself, and the older commentators name the fault without excusing it. The sons born there are listed by name, among them Nathan and Solomon, both borne by Bathsheba, and the name Nathan here belongs to a son rather than to the prophet who will confront David over her in the next chapters, two men sharing one name in one household's story. The list is genealogy without comment, but its placement beside the law it breaks is its own quiet judgment.
