These were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: The firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam of Jezreel; the second was Daniel by Abigail of Carmel;
Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess: (a) He returns to the genealogy of David, to show that Christ came from his stock. (b) Who in is called Chileab, born of her that was Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
Now these were the sons of David,.... The six following born in Hebron, who are reckoned in the same order as in Sa2 3:2, only here the second son is called Daniel, who there goes by the name of Chileab; he had two names, the reason of which see there; and here David's wife, Eglah, is said in the Targum to be Michal, Saul's daughter...
The second son here is called Daniel, whereas Samuel calls him Chileab, not a copyist's error, but a man with two names. The chronicler worked from an independent register, not from Samuel's account. That preposition before Absalom's name crept in by mistake from the preceding phrase, and the note about Eglah as David's wife rounds out the list properly, nothing more.
