1 Chronicles
The text lists six sons born to David in Hebron (1 Chronicles 3:1–4). It then lists additional children born in Jerusalem and sums them as “nine” in that set, along with a note about a sister (1 Chronicles 3:5–9).
1Now these were the sons of David, who were born to him in Hebron: the firstborn, Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second, Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess;
2the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith;
3the fifth, Shephatiah of Abital; the sixth, Ithream by Eglah his wife:
4six were born to him in Hebron; and there he reigned seven years and six months. In Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years;
5and these were born to him in Jerusalem: Shimea, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, four, of Bath-shua the daughter of Ammiel;
6and Ibhar, and Elishama, and Eliphelet,
7and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
8and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet, nine.
9All these were the sons of David, besides the sons of the concubines; and Tamar was their sister.
