Eglah

2 Samuel 3:5 - and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.

1 Chronicles 3:3 - the fifth, Shephatiah, by Abital; the sixth, Ithream, by his wife Eglah;


Eglah was one of the many wives of Kind David. Sadly these are the only two verses in the whole Bible where she is mentioned. For some reason God didn't give us anymore information about her unlike Bethsheba or Abigail. All we know is that she was the mother of Ithream, the sixth son of Kind David, born in Hebron. I do wonder though what type of faith the wives of David had. Were they all Abigails? Gallant and faithful. For some reason I doubt it. But being married to David they must have understood something. They must have seen and heard so much about God. David their own husband and King pours out his heart to God in the Psalms. I wonder if they were women after God's own heart.
