Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 3:6

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Elishama, and Eliphelet - In this and the eighth verse these two names occur twice; some think this is a mistake, but others suppose that two persons of these names died young, and that the next born received the name of the deceased. - See Jarchi.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. 66. Elishama and Eliphelet--Two sons of the same name are twice mentioned (1Ch 3:8). They were the children of different mothers, and had probably some title or epithet appended by which the one was distinguished from the other. Or, it might be, that the former two were dead, and their names had been given to sons afterwards born to preserve their memories.Read the comment
