The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle, but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and drank from his cup; it slept in his arms and was like a daughter to him. Now a traveler came to the rich man, who refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.” David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan: “As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die! Because he has done this thing and has shown no pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.” Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more. Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites. Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’ This is what the LORD says: ‘I will raise up adversity against you from your own house. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to another, and he will lie with them in broad daylight. You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’” Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die. Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die.” After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill. |

1 Chronicles 3:5 Summary
This verse, 1 Chronicles 3:5, tells us about the sons of King David who were born in Jerusalem. It mentions four specific sons: Shimea, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, who were all born to David by his wife Bathsheba. This is important because it helps us understand the family of King David and how it fits into the larger story of the Bible (as seen in Matthew 1:1-17). We can also learn from King David's example of faith and trust in God, as encouraged in Psalm 37:3-7, and seek to follow God's will in our own lives, just like David did, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 16:13.

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 3:5
Ver. 5-8. And these were born unto him in Jerusalem,.... Whose names follow, in all nine; there are but seven mentioned in 2 Samuel 5:14 the reason of which see in the notes there; [See comments on 2 Samuel 5:14].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 3:5
And these were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shimea, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, four, of Bathshua the daughter of Ammiel: Of Bath-shua the daughter of Ammiel - or Bath-sheba (2 Samuel 11:3),
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:5
Four; all David’ s children by her, as the text positively affirms; and therefore Solomon is called her only son, , because she loved him as if he had been so. Ammiel, called also Eliam, . See Poole "".
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:5
1 Chronicles 3:5 And these were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shimea, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, four, of Bathshua the daughter of Ammiel:Ver. 5. And Solomon, four.] Not fourth: for he was the eldest of the four, and therefore the only beloved in the sight of his mother.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:5
(5-8) The thirteen sons born in Jerusalem. See 2 Samuel 5:14-16, and 1 Chronicles 14:4-7, where this list is repeated with some variations (1 Chronicles 3:5). The four sons of Bath-sheba, called here Bath-shua, a weakened form, if not a copyist’s error. By a similar change the Elishama of 1 Chronicles 3:6 appears in Samuel as Elishua. Shimea (“report”) was a son of Jesse (1 Chronicles 2:13). Perhaps, therefore, Shammua (“famous”) is correct here, as in Samuel. Ammiel and Eliam are transposed forms of the same name, meaning “El is a tribesman” (‘am=gens, el = deus). (Comp. Ahaziah and Jehoahaz, Nethaniah and Jehonathan, and many similar transpositions.) So in Gr. Theodoros and Dorotheos, Philotheos and Theophilos exist side by side.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:5
Verse 5. Shimea, and Shobab] Solomon is mentioned last, though he was the eldest of these four sons, because the genealogy was to be continued from him. Bath-shua בת שוע is the same as Bath-sheba, בת שבע the ו vau being put by mistake in the former for ב beth in the latter.

Bathshua] is a slight variation in pronunciation (with a consequent variation in meaning) of Bath-sheba. the daughter of Ammiel] of Eliam (perhaps a by-form of Ammiel) in 2 Samuel 11:3. An Eliam son of Ahithophel, David’s counsellor, is mentioned in 2 Samuel 23:34; Bath-sheba may therefore have been grand-daughter to Ahithophel. Notice that the Chronicler does not call Bath-sheba the wife of Uriah the Hittite; he nowhere refers to David’s great sin.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 3:5
Bathshua, the daughter of Ammiel - Both names are here given in an unusual form, but it may be doubted whether in either case there has been any corruption.
