John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 16. And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet .] Seven more by some other wife or wives; nine are mentioned in ( 1 Chronicles 3:6-8); there being in that account two Eliphalets, and another called Nogah; which two, one of the Eliphalets, and Nogah, might die without sons, as Kimchi thinks, and so are not mentioned here.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 11-16 - David's house was not the worse, nor the less fit to be dedicated to God, for being built by the sons of the stranger. It is prophesied of the gospel church, The sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, an their kings shall minister unto thee, Isa 60:10. David's government wa rooted and built up. David was established king; so is the Son of David, and all who, through him, are made to our God kings and priests Never had the nation of Israel appeared so great as it began now to be Many have the favour and love of God, yet do not perceive it, and s want the comfort of it; but to be exalted to that, and to perceive it is happiness. David owned it was for his people's sake God had don great things for him; that he might be a blessing to them, and tha they might be happy under him.
