daughter: Eliab was David's eldest brother; and more than eighty years had elapsed since David, at the age of thirty, began to reign: Abigail must therefore have been grand-daughter to Eliab; and this shows the latitude in which the words son and daughter are used in Scripture.

Eliab: 1 Samuel 16:6, 1 Samuel 17:13, 1 Samuel 17:28, 1 Chronicles 2:13, 1 Chronicles 27:18, Elihu

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Rehoboam took him Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David, to wife,.... Of which son of David we nowhere else read; perhaps he might be the son of one of his concubines, or he might have two names:

and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; who was David's eldest brother. 1 Samuel 17:13. She must be a granddaughter or great-granddaughter of his.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This is probably an extract from the “genealogies” of Iddo 2 Chronicles 12:15.

As Jerimoth is not mentioned among the legitimate sons of David 1Ch 3:1-8; 1 Chronicles 14:4-7, he must have been the child of a concubine.

Abihail was probably the “grand-daughter,” not “daughter,” of Eliab 1Sa 16:6; 1 Samuel 17:13; 1 Chronicles 2:13.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 11:18. Took him Mahalath — By marrying thus in the family of David, he strengthened his right to the Jewish throne.
