Commentary on 2 Chronicles 11:18

Theological / Devotional

Jerimoth. He is not elsewhere named among the sons of David’s wives (2 Sam. 3:2-5; 5:14-16; 1 Chron. 3:1-9; 14:4-7). But he may have been the son of one of David’s concubines (1 Chron. 3:9).

Daughter of Eliab. Probably the granddaughter. The Hebrew word for daughter may also stand for more distant descendants (see on 1 Chron. 2:7). The daughter of David’s eldest brother (1 Sam. 17:13) could hardly have become the wife of David’s grandson.
