Ibhar
The name "Ibhar" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "He (God) chooses" or "He (God) elects." This name reflects the belief in divine selection and purpose, a theme prevalent throughout the Bible. In the context of King David's lineage, Ibhar represents one of the sons born to David in Jerusalem, signifying the establishment and continuation of David's royal line. The mention of Ibhar underscores the importance of family and legacy in biblical narratives, highlighting how God’s choices shape history and fulfill His promises.

Elishua
The name "Elishua" can be translated as "God is salvation" or "God saves." This name encapsulates a central tenet of the Christian faith: the belief in God's power to save and deliver His people. Elishua, another son of David, symbolizes the hope and assurance of divine salvation that permeates the biblical story. The presence of such a name in David's family tree serves as a reminder of God's ongoing work of redemption and His faithfulness to His covenant people.

Nepheg
The name "Nepheg" is less common and its exact meaning is uncertain, though it may be related to the idea of "sprout" or "shoot," suggesting growth or new beginnings. In the context of David's sons, Nepheg represents the potential for new life and the continuation of David's lineage. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God bringing forth new life and hope, even in the midst of challenges and uncertainties.

Japhia
The name "Japhia" means "shining" or "splendid" in Hebrew. This name conveys a sense of brightness and glory, attributes often associated with God's presence and favor. Japhia, as a son of David, signifies the splendor and promise of David's reign, which foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment of God's kingdom through Jesus Christ, the descendant of David. The inclusion of Japhia in the list of David's sons highlights the divine blessing and the glorious future that God has in store for His people.
