Bible Person
Meaning: the Lord that judges · Male · 2 cross references
This Shephatiah entry refers to one of David's sons born in Hebron, not to the returnee family of the same name. He belongs to the early royal household formed during David's rise. First appears in 2 Sam 3:4.1
AI summary: This Shephatiah matters because his cross references place him in the Hebron-born group of David's sons, where the royal family expands before the kingdom is fully consolidated in Jerusalem. Even without a later narrative role, his presence contributes to the complexity and breadth of David's dynasty. Taken together, the material presents this Shephatiah as one of the lesser-known sons in the growth of the royal house.1
