Ithream

Ithream was a son of David born in Hebron during the seven and a half years David reigned there before his capture of Jerusalem. His mother was Eglah, David's wife, described in 2 Samuel 3:5 and 1 Chronicles 3:3 as 'David's wife,' a phrase that may indicate she was specially beloved among David's Hebron wives. Ithream is the sixth son listed from David's Hebron period, representing one of the many members of the large royal family that grew around David during the early monarchy.
