Significance: These are parallel lists of David's sons born during his reign at Hebron. Both texts name six sons by six different wives: Amnon by Ahinoam, Daniel/Chileab by Abigail, Absalom by Maacah, Adonijah by Haggith, Shephatiah by Abital, and Ithream by Eglah. The Chronicler's version (1 Chr 3:1-4) follows 2 Samuel 3:2-5 closely, with the notable variant that Samuel's "Chileab" (kilav) appears as "Daniel" in Chronicles. The Chronicler preserves this Hebron-era roster as the opening of the complete Davidic dynasty record that extends through the exile and beyond (1 Chr 3:10-24).

Significance: Both texts list David's six sons born during his seven-year reign in Hebron before he became king over all Israel. The lists agree on the mothers (Ahinoam, Abigail, Maacah, Haggith, Abital, Eglah) but differ in one name: Samuel's "Chileab" (כִּלְאָב) appears as "Daniel" (דָּנִיֵּאל) in Chronicles. The Chronicler extends beyond the Samuel list by adding David's Jerusalem-born sons (1 Chr 3:5-9), creating a complete dynastic register. Significantly, 1 Chronicles 3:5 names Bathsheba as "Bath-shua" (בַּת שׁוּעַ) and lists Solomon alongside three brothers, integrating even the offspring of David's most notorious relationship into the official royal genealogy that would become the messianic lineage.

Text: 2 Samuel 3:2
OT Text Referred to: 1 Chronicles 3:1
Subject: sons born to David in Jerusalem
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Direct Quotation
Connection Method(s): None
Significance: 2 Samuel 3:2 begins listing sons born to David "in Hebron," naming his firstborn Amnon by Ahinoam of Jezreel. 1 Chronicles 3:1 parallels this list but with a notable variant: David's second son is called "Daniel" (דָּנִיֵּאל) in Chronicles but "Chileab" (כִּלְאָב) in Samuel, both born to Abigail the Carmelitess. This name discrepancy is one of the most discussed variants between the parallel texts and likely reflects either a birth name versus a later name, or different textual traditions. Both texts serve the same function — documenting David's Hebron-born sons as the first generation of the royal dynasty — but the Chronicler's genealogical format strips away the narrative context that Samuel provides.
