Misinterpretations often treat this verse as an exhaustive or standalone family tree endorsing polygamy without consequence, ignoring its continuation in subsequent verses and the broader narrative in 2 Samuel that reveals family strife and tragedy stemming from David's multiple wives. Others might fabricate discrepancies by not recognizing Daniel as another name for Chileab or overlook the chapter's theological aim to affirm David's line amid Judah's restoration, reducing it to mere historical trivia rather than covenantal significance.
I Chronicles 3:1
King James Version (1769)
1 Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess:
This passage begins the record of King David's sons born to him in Hebron during his early reign over Judah, naming the firstborn Amnon by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and the second Daniel by Abigail the Carmelitess, emphasizing the establishment of his royal lineage from which the promised Messiah would descend. It serves a key purpose in 1 Chronicles' genealogies, linking the post-exilic Israelites to their covenant heritage through David's house.
