1 However, the war was prolonged between the house of Saul and the house of David. David was becoming steadily stronger, while the house of Saul was becoming increasingly weaker.

2 Now sons were born to David in Hebron. His firstborn was Amnon, born to Ahinoam the Jezreelite.

3 His second son was Kileab, born to Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite. His third son was Absalom, the son of Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur.

4 His fourth son was Adonijah, the son of Haggith. His fifth son was Shephatiah, the son of Abitail.

5 His sixth son was Ithream, born to David's wife Eglah. These sons were all born to David in Hebron.
