1 Chronicles 3:9

This verse plainly adds concubines , perhaps the ten spoken of in 2 Samuel 15:16 , to the number of the mothers of the foregoing sons. The mention of only one daughter of David, viz. Tamar , follows the manifest ordinary rule, that daughters are not recorded at all, except for one of two reasons—either that through a daughter the line was saved, or that the daughter had from some special reason made a place for herself in history.
