John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Ver. 5-8. And these were born unto him in
Jerusalem
Whose names follow, in all nine; there are but seven mentioned in ( 2 Samuel 5:14-16 ) the reason of which see in the notes there; (See Gill on 2 Samuel 5:14). (See Gill on 2 Samuel 5:15). (See Gill on 2 Samuel 5:16). it may be observed that Bathsheba is here called Bathshua, and her father Ammiel, whose name is Eliam in ( 2 Samuel 11:3 ) , names of much the same signification.
