(4) His children.—Literally, the born. Samuel has a different word from the same root, and omits the relative pronoun and its verb. (For the names, comp. 1Ch_3:5-9, Notes, and 2Sa_5:14-16.) The list is repeated here because it occurred at this point in the document which the historian was copying, and perhaps also as an instance of David’s prosperity, which is the topic of the section.
Nathan.—“And Nathan” (Samuel) must be right. The conjunction occurs throughout the list. Joseph, “the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus,” traced his descent from this son of David (Luk_3:23-31).

Vers. 4-7. The names of his children which he had in Jerusalem. The names of the children born to David in Hebron are given in 1Ch_3:1-4. For a comparison of this list with that of 1Ch_3:5-9, see that place. It will be observed that the present list agrees with that of Samuel in respect of eleven names, and with 1Ch_3:5-8, so far as number goes, with all thirteen.
