What Does 1 Chronicles 14:3 Mean?
The account turns to David's household in his new capital. As was common for kings of that era, David's family grows large, and the chronicler simply records the expansion of his house with the birth of more children.
Scripture reports this plainly, without comment, and the verses that follow will name the children born in Jerusalem. The growth of David's family sets the stage for the lineage that Scripture traces forward, the royal line through which, in time, the promised Messiah would come.
