Berean Study Bible

These are the names
In ancient Hebrew culture, names held significant meaning and often reflected the character or destiny of a person. The listing of names here signifies the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. Names were not just identifiers but were often prophetic or descriptive of one's role in God's plan.

of the children
The Hebrew word for children, "בָּנִים" (banim), emphasizes the continuation of a family line. In the context of David's reign, his children represent the future of his dynasty and the fulfillment of God's promises to establish his kingdom.

born to him
This phrase underscores the personal and direct lineage from David, highlighting the legitimacy and divine favor upon his offspring. It reflects the fulfillment of God's covenant with David, promising him a lasting dynasty.

in Jerusalem
Jerusalem, the city of David, holds profound theological significance as the political and spiritual center of Israel. It is the city where God chose to place His name and where the temple would eventually be built. The mention of Jerusalem here signifies the establishment of David's rule and God's presence among His people.

Shammua
The name Shammua means "heard" or "announced." It reflects the idea that God hears and responds to His people. In the context of David's family, it may signify the acknowledgment of God's promises and the public declaration of His faithfulness.

Shobab
Shobab means "rebellious" or "backsliding." This name might seem negative, but it can also reflect the human condition and the need for divine grace. It serves as a reminder of the challenges within David's family and the broader narrative of redemption.

Nathan
Nathan means "gift" or "he has given." This name is significant as it reflects God's grace and generosity. Nathan, the prophet, would later play a crucial role in David's life, but here, the name signifies the blessings bestowed upon David's house.

and Solomon
Solomon, meaning "peace" or "his peace," is perhaps the most significant name in this list. Solomon would become one of Israel's greatest kings, known for his wisdom and the building of the temple. His name foreshadows the peace and prosperity that would characterize his reign, as well as the fulfillment of God's promise to David.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(14) These be the names.--The same list, with some variations, is given in 1Chronicles 3:5-8; 1Chronicles 14:5-7. According to 1Chronicles 3:5, the first four were children of Bathsheba (Bath-shua), and were consequently not born until a later period of David's reign. Solomon and Nathan are the two sons through whom St. Matthew and St. Luke trace our Lord's genealogy. Although Solomon is placed last in all the lists, he appears, from 2Samuel 12:24, to have been the oldest of Bathsheba's sons, and could otherwise hardly have been old enough to take charge of the kingdom at his father's death. The variations in the names are chiefly mere differences of spelling. The first, Elishama, in 1Chronicles 3:6, is evidently a copyist's mistake for Elishua, since Elishama occurs again in 2Samuel 5:8; and the names of Eliphalet and Nogah, given in both lists in Chronicles, are omitted here, probably because they died young, the name of the former being given again to the last son in all the lists. In 1Chronicles 3:9, it is said that all these were sons of David's wives, besides those of his concubines. . . .
