Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset & David Brown · Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“HIS WIVES. (Ch1 14:3-7) David took more wives at Jerusalem--(See on Sa2 3:5). His concubines are mentioned (Ch1 3:9), where also is given a list of his children (Ch1 14:5-8), and those born in Jerusalem (Sa2 5:14-16). In that, however, the names of Eliphalet and Nogah do not occur, and Beeliada appears to be the same as Eliada.”
