Significance: Both texts record David taking additional wives and concubines after moving to Jerusalem. 2 Samuel 5:13 states David took "more concubines and wives from Jerusalem," while 1 Chronicles 14:3 notes "David took more wives in Jerusalem." The Chronicler's omission of "concubines" (פִּלַגְשִׁים, pilagshim) may reflect a tendency to present David's household in more favorable terms for the post-exilic audience. Both texts then list the sons born in Jerusalem, though with minor name variants between the two registers. These genealogical notices establish the Jerusalem-based royal family whose descendants would carry forward the dynastic promise.
