Jump to Previous Abital Abi'tal Eglah Fifth Ithream Shephatiah Shephati'ah Sixth WifeJump to Next Abital Abi'tal Eglah Fifth Ithream Shephatiah Shephati'ah Sixth Wife1 Chronicles 3 1. The sons of David.10. His line to Zedekiah. 17. The successors of Jeconiah. the fifth was Shephatiah by Abital; Shephatiah, the fifth son of David, is mentioned here as being born to Abital. The name Shephatiah means "Yahweh has judged" or "Yahweh is a judge," reflecting a common practice of naming children with theophoric elements, which are names that include the name of God. Abital, whose name means "my father is dew," is one of David's lesser-known wives, and little is mentioned about her elsewhere in the Bible. This phrase highlights the polygamous nature of David's household, which was typical for kings of that era, as it was a means of forming political alliances and ensuring a large progeny. The mention of Shephatiah and Abital in the genealogical record underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the Davidic line, which is significant for the messianic prophecies concerning Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the "Son of David." and the sixth was Ithream by his wife Eglah. Persons / Places / Events 1. ShephatiahThe fifth son of King David, born to him by Abital. His name means "Yahweh has judged" in Hebrew, reflecting a common practice of naming children with a reference to God. 2. Abital One of King David's wives, the mother of Shephatiah. Her name means "my father is dew," which can symbolize blessing and renewal. 3. Ithream The sixth son of King David, born to him by Eglah. His name means "abundance of people" or "profit of the people," indicating a hope for prosperity or growth. 4. Eglah Another wife of King David, the mother of Ithream. Her name means "heifer," which in biblical times could symbolize fertility and strength. 5. King David The second king of Israel, known for his heart for God and his complex family dynamics, which are detailed in the genealogies and accounts of the Old Testament. Teaching Points The Complexity of Family DynamicsDavid's family, with multiple wives and children, reflects the complexity and challenges of family life. It serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking God's wisdom in family relationships. The Significance of Names The names of David's sons and wives often carry meanings that reflect their parents' hopes or God's attributes. This highlights the importance of considering the spiritual significance in our own naming and identity. God's Sovereignty in Lineage Despite the complexities and imperfections in David's family, God sovereignly worked through his lineage to fulfill His promises, ultimately leading to the birth of Jesus Christ. This encourages us to trust in God's plan, even when our circumstances seem complicated. The Role of Women in Biblical Narratives The mention of David's wives, though brief, acknowledges their role in the unfolding of God's plan. It reminds us to value and recognize the contributions of women in our own faith communities. The Consequences of Disobedience David's multiple marriages, contrary to God's design for marriage, led to family strife and conflict. This serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of straying from God's commands.(3) Eglah (heifer) his wife.--Eglah is not marked out as principal wife of David. The expression "his wife" is added simply to balance the clause, to make up for the absence of details respecting her connexions, such as are given in the case of some of the other wives. Jewish expositors have groundlessly identified Eglah with Michal, daughter of Saul (1Samuel 18:20).
