Context: Chaggith is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. She is one of the wives of King David and the mother of Adonijah. Her name appears in the context of the royal family of David, highlighting her role as the mother of a significant, albeit rebellious, son. Adonijah, her son, is known for his attempt to usurp the throne of Israel during the final days of King David's reign. Chaggith's mention in the biblical narrative underscores the complex dynamics within David's family and the political intrigue surrounding the succession of the throne. Her story is primarily found in the books of 2 Samuel and 1 Kings. In 2 Samuel 3:4, she is listed among David's wives, and in 1 Kings 1:5, her son Adonijah declares himself king, which sets off a series of events leading to Solomon's eventual anointing as king. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) references her in these contexts, providing insight into her familial connections and the historical setting of her life.
