שמואל ב, פרק ה׳, פסוק ט״ז

The final names in the record of David's sons round out his family tree, even though almost none of these individuals went on to play a significant role in history [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

When comparing this family registry to a parallel account in the Book of Chronicles, a few distinct differences emerge. For instance, one son known as Eliada is recorded there with a slight variation, appearing as Beeliada. More notably, the Chronicles account includes an additional son named Nogah, as well as two separate sons who both share the name Eliphelet. These extra children are completely absent from the current record. This omission is likely due to the sad reality that these particular sons died during childhood, leaving behind no descendants or lasting legacy [מצודת דוד].
