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.

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.
