2 Samuel 3:1-5

The House of David Strengthened

Now ^athe war between the house of Saul and the house of David was long; and David grew steadily stronger, but the house of Saul grew weaker continually.
2 ^aAnd sons were born to David at Hebron: his firstborn was Amnon, by ^bAhinoam the Jezreelitess; 3 and his second, Chileab, by Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of ^aMaacah, the daughter of Talmai king of ^bGeshur; 4 and the fourth, ^aAdonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; 5 and the sixth, Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These were born to David at Hebron.
