1. 2 Samuel 3:4

   his fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith; his fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital;

   ›Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:42 voices

   “And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith,.... The same that usurped the throne before his father's death, to anticipate Solomon, and died by his order, 1Ki 1:5, and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; of whom we read nowhere else.

   “Adonijah - The same who, when David was dying, aspired to the crown, and was put to death by Solomon. Shephatiah - “God is judge.” This is the same name as Jehoshaphat, only with the two elements composing it placed in inverted order. Nothing more is known of him or of his brother Ithream.

2. 1 Chronicles 3:3

   the fifth was Shephatiah by Abital; and the sixth was Ithream by his wife Eglah.

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:32 voices

   “His wife - Possibly so called because she was his first, and therefore most proper wife, though her son was born after all the rest before mentioned, and therefore she and her son are put in the sixth place, the wive being here named only for the sons sake.

   “She has the title of wife appended to her name because she was his proper wife; and the mention of her name last probably arose from the circumstance that, having been withdrawn from David and married to another husband but afterwards restored, she had in reality become the last of his wives.
