Bible Question: Who was King David's mother? Please give scripture references with answer. |
Bible Answer: nonniej316, Welcome to the Forum! In answer to your question, we don't know who David's mother was. According to Easton's Bible Dictionary his father seems to have been a man in humble life. His mother’s name is not recorded. Some think she was the Nahash of 2 Sam. 17:25 [Easton, M. G., M. A. D. D., Easton’s Bible Dictionary, (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) 1996.] I hope this helps, BradK |
