‏ 1 Chronicles 3:5

v. 5–8: David had more sons in Jerusalem. Solomon was one of these, and he was chosen to be king after David. Solomon’s birth is special because he came from Bath-sheba. Another son was called Nathan, maybe named after the prophet Nathan who helped David repent. Jesus was a descendant of this Nathan (Luke 3:31 a). There are two sons named Elishama and two named Eliphelet. This probably happened because the first ones died young, and David used the names again.
