Truth Exposed: David’s Sons
Reading genealogies can be as exciting as watching snails race, but every genealogy in the bible is critical. Reading in 1 Chronicles 3:1-9 we find the list of David’s sons and their mothers. 19 sons and 1 daughter are named. Fascinating. Bathsheba was David’s 8th wife, not the first, and Solomon was son #10! Number 10!! Michal is not mentioned as she had no children; she actually was wife #1. The son who should have succeeded David was Amnon, but he wasn’t. Political intrigue and manipulation put Solomon on the throne. That must have been some household!
