In the Books of Chronicles (1 Chronicles 2:13–16), Abigail and Zeruiah are referred to as sisters to David. [3] The Masoretic Text of 2 Samuel 17:25 calls Abigail the daughter of Nahash. While it is possible that Jesse 's wife had first married been to Nahash (and Abigail was David's half-sister), scholars think that Nahash is a typographic ...
However, since this text would indicate that the father of Abigail and Zeruiah is Nahash rather than Jesse, it would appear that their mother, whose name is unmentioned, married Jesse after the death of Nahash (2 Sam. 10, 1 Sam. 11). Therefore, these women are not Jesse's daughters but half-sisters of David through Nahash's widow.
11:1 About a month later, Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh-gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you." 2 But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, "On this condition I will make a treaty with you, namely that I gouge out everyone’s right eye, and thus put disgrace upon all Israel."
There is also a man named Nahash who is described by 2 Samuel 17:27–29 as the father of Shobi, a man who aided David against Absalom. The Jewish Encyclopedia argues that the father of Abigail, the king of the Ammonites, and the father of Shobi, were the same individual, hence making Shobi, Hanun, and David, half-brothers. [6]

According to both the Hebrew Bible and the Babylonian Talmud, Zeruiah was a daughter of Jesse and sister of Abigail, to whom reference is made in 1 Chronicles (1 Chronicles 2:13–17) and 2 Samuel (2 Samuel 17:25). Zeruiah had three sons, Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, David's nephews, all of whom were soldiers in David's army. [1]
Chileab (Hebrew: כִלְאָב, Ḵīləʾāḇ) also known as Daniel, was the second son of David, King of Israel, according to the Bible.He was David's son with his second wife Abigail, widow of Nabal the Carmelite, and is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 3:1, and 2 Samuel 3:3.
Abigail is described in the account as being beautiful and intelligent, [2] and the aggadah treats Abigail as being one of the four most beautiful women in Jewish history (the other three being Sarah, Rahab, and Esther); [17] in the aggadah it is claimed that David nearly fell in love with her while she was still the wife of Nabal, but Abigail's moral strength and dignity prevented any ...
