2 Samuel 3:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.

Eglah, David's wife. This addition has led many to think that Eglah was another name for Michal, the first and proper wife, who, though she had no family after her insolent ridicule of David (2 Samuel 6:23), might have had a child before. [The Septuagint calls her Aigal.]
