Context: • Nepheg is mentioned in the genealogical records of King David's family. He is listed as one of the sons of David born to him in Jerusalem. The name appears in the context of David's growing family and the establishment of his dynasty. Nepheg is specifically mentioned in 2 Samuel 5:15 and 1 Chronicles 3:7. These passages highlight the expansion of David's lineage and the significance of his offspring in the narrative of Israel's monarchy.
• In 2 Samuel 5:15 (BSB), the text states: "Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia," listing Nepheg among David's sons born in Jerusalem.
• In 1 Chronicles 3:7 (BSB), the genealogy is reiterated: "Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet—nine in all," with Nepheg included in the broader context of David's descendants.
• The mention of Nepheg, though brief, contributes to the understanding of David's family structure and the historical context of his reign. The genealogical records serve to establish the legitimacy and continuity of David's line, which is central to the biblical narrative of the Davidic covenant and the anticipation of a future messianic king.
