Old Testament
Chileab
The second son of King David, born to Abigail in Hebron.
Chileab, also known as Daniel in 1 Chronicles 3:1, was the son of David and Abigail, the widow of Nabal. He is listed among David's sons born in Hebron, though he plays no further role in the biblical narrative. His inclusion in the royal genealogies serves to document the succession and lineage of the house of David.
