2 Chronicles 11:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 11:18

And Rehoboam took him Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the
son of David, to wife
Of which son of David we nowhere else read; perhaps he might be the son of one of his concubines, or he might have two names:

and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
who was David's eldest brother. ( 1 Samuel 17:13 1 Samuel 17:28 ) . She must be a granddaughter or great-granddaughter of his.

2 Chronicles 11:18 In-Context

16 But also of all the lineages of Israel, whichever gave their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel, they came to Jerusalem for to offer their sacrifices before the Lord God of their fathers. (And from all the tribes of Israel, whoever gave their heart to seek after the Lord God of Israel, they came to Jerusalem, to offer their sacrifices to the Lord God of their fathers.)

17 And they strengthened the realm of Judah, and strengthened Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, by three years; for they went in the ways of David, and of Solomon, only by three years. (And so they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and Solomon's son Rehoboam, for three years; for they went in the ways of David, and Solomon, but only for three years.)

18 Forsooth Rehoboam wedded a wife, Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David, and (of) Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse;

19 and she childed to him sons (and she bare for him three sons), Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
