Significance: Both texts list David's sons born in Jerusalem after he moved the capital from Hebron. 2 Samuel 5:14-16 names eleven sons, while 1 Chronicles 14:4-7 lists thirteen, adding Eliphelet and Nogah, which likely reflect different manuscript traditions of the royal birth register. The two lists share the names Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon — notably placing Solomon fourth rather than first, indicating that birth order did not determine succession. Both registers include theophoric names (containing אֵל, El, "God") such as Elishua, Eliada/Beeliada, and Eliphelet, reflecting the royal household's theological naming conventions that acknowledged divine sovereignty over the dynasty.
