Explained for Children
Imagine you're part of a special team at school. This verse is like a name tag that tells us about two members of David's special team. It tells us their names, who their dad is, and where they're from, just like how we introduce our friends!
Historical Background
2 Samuel was written by multiple authors, possibly including Samuel, Nathan, and Gad, around the time of King David's reign, around 1000 B.C.
