David’s Family Tree

*Who is Nahash? Options:

• David’s mother could have been married to Nahash before marrying Jessie and had Abigail and Zeruiah with him, making them Davd’s halfsisters.
• Nahash could be another name for David’s father in which case Abigail and Zeruiah are full sisters.
• Nahash could be the name of David’s mother, Jesse’s wife (though Nahash does not appear to be a female name).
