Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 3:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Shimea, and Shobab - Solomon is mentioned last, though he was the eldest of these four sons, because the genealogy was to be continued from him. Bath-shua שוע בת is the same as Bath-sheba, שבע בת the ו vau being put by mistake in the former for ב beth in the latter.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Bathshua, the daughter of Ammiel - Both names are here given in an unusual form, but it may be doubted whether in either case there has been any corruption. In “Bathshua,” for “Bathsheba,” a ו (v ) replaces the ב (b ) of the earlier writer, “w” and “b” having nearly the same sound. In “Ammiel,” for “Eliam,” the two elements which form the name are inverted, as in Jehoiachin =Jechoniah, and the like.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-9The list of David's sons comes from information in the book of Samuel (2 Samuel 3:2–5; 5:14–16). The list separates the sons born while David ruled in Hebron from those born in Jerusalem.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. four, of Bath-shua the daughter of Ammiel--or, "Bath-sheba" (2Sa 11:3), and there her father is called "Eliam." Of course Solomon was not her "only son," but he is called so (Pr 4:3) from the distinguished affection of which he was the object; and though the oldest, he is named the last of Bath-sheba's children.Read the comment
