Kileab

KILEAB (kĭl'ē-ăb). The second son of David (the first by Abigail) born at Hebron (2Sam.3.3). Called Daniel in 1Chr.3.1.



CHILEAB kĭl’ ĕ ăb (כִּלְאָ֔ב). David’s second son born at Hebron, his first by Abigail (2 Sam 3:3); also called Daniel (1 Chron 3:1). The LXX has Δαλουιά, in 2 Samuel 3:3, and since in Heb. the last three letters of Chileab are the same as the first three of the following word, the text may be corrupt; Daniel may be correct.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915)

A son of David, born to him at Hebron. His mother was Abigail, whom David married after the death of her husband Nabal, the Carmelite (2Sa 3:3). In the corresponding account (1Ch 3:1) he is called "Daniel," the meaning of which name ("God is my judge") points to its having been given in order to commemorate God’s judgment upon Nabal (1Sa 25:39; compare Ge 30:6). Some suppose that he bore both names, but the Septuagint reading here Dalouia (Ch Damniel), and the identity of the last three letters of the Hebrew word "Chileab" with the first three of the following word, seems to indicate that the text of Samuel is corrupt.
