Introduction
Of all the families of Israel none was so illustrious as the family of David. That is the family which was mentioned in the foregoing chapter (Ch1 3:15). Here we have a full account of it. I. David's sons (Ch1 3:1-9). II. His successors in the throne as long as the kingdom continued (Ch1 3:10-16). III. The remains of his family in and after the captivity (Ch1 3:17-24). From this family, "as concerning the flesh, Christ came."

Introduction
The children of David which were born to him in Hebron, Ch1 3:1-4. Those born to him in Jerusalem, Ch1 3:5-9. The regal line from Solomon, Ch1 3:10-24.
By Eglah his wide - The Targum, Jarchi, and others, maintain that this was Michal, the daughter of Saul; but this does not well agree with Sa2 6:23 : Michal had no child to the day of her death. Yet she might have had a child before the time that is mentioned above.
Introduction
SONS OF DAVID. (Ch1 3:1-9)
Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron--It is of consequence for the proper understanding of events in the domestic history of David, to bear in mind the place and time of his sons' birth. The oldest son, born after his father's accession to the sovereign authority, is according to Eastern notions, the proper heir to the throne. And hence the natural aspirations of ambition in Ammon, who was long unaware of the alienation of the crown, and could not be easily reconciled to the claims of a younger brother being placed above his own (see on Sa2 3:1-5).
Eglah his wife--supposed to be another name of Michal, who, though she had no son after her mockery of David for dancing before the ark [Sa2 6:16, Sa2 6:20], might have had one previous to that time. She has the title of wife appended to her name because she was his proper wife; and the mention of her name last probably arose from the circumstance that, having been withdrawn from David and married to another husband but afterwards restored, she had in reality become the last of his wives.
