Eglah

Eglah was one of David's wives who bore him his sixth son, Ithream, in Hebron during the seven and a half years David reigned there before capturing Jerusalem (2 Samuel 3:5; 1 Chronicles 3:3). She is the last of six wives mentioned as mothers of David's sons born in Hebron, and beyond this brief notice nothing further is recorded about her. Her name, meaning 'heifer,' reflects naming conventions of the period.
