Actually, he had 8 wives, 19 sons and 1 daughter.
The most authoritative source for David's wives is 1 Chronicles 3, which lists David's descendants for 30 generations. This source names seven wives:
- Ahinoam of Jezreel,
- Abigail the Carmel,
- Maachah the daughter of King Talmai of Geshur,
- Haggith,
- Abital,
- Eglah, and
- Bath-shua (Bathsheba) the daughter of Ammiel.
David was married to Ahinoam, Abigail, Maacha, Haggith, Abital and Eglah during the 7-1/2 years he reigned in Hebron as king of Judah. After David moved his capital to Jerusalem, he married Bathsheba. Each of his first six wives bore David a son, while Bathsheba bore him four sons. Altogether, scripture records that David had 19 sons;
- Amnon
- Daniel [or Chileab]
- Absalom
- Adonijah
- Shephatiah
- Ithream
- Shimea
- Shobab
- Nathan
- Solomon
- Ibhar
- Elishua
- Eliphelet
- Nogah
- Nepheg
- Japhia
- Elishama
- Eliadah
- Jerimoth
by various women, and one daughter, Tamar.
Missing from the 1 Chronicles 3 list of sons and wives is Michal, daughter of King Saul who reigned c. 1025-1005 B.C. Her omission from the genealogy may be linked to 2 Samuel 6:23, which says, "to her dying day Michal, daughter of Saul, had no children."
