<p> '''Chil'eab.''' ''(Like His Father).'' A son of David by Abigail. ''See '' [[Abigail]] ''.'' </p>

<p> David's son by Abigail (&nbsp;2 Samuel 3:3). [[Elsewhere]] called Daniel (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:1). </p>

<p> '''''kil´ē̇''''' -'''''ab''''' ( כּלאב , <i> '''''kil'ābh''''' </i> ; Δαλουιά , <i> '''''Dalouiá''''' </i> , "restraint of father"): A son of David, born to him at Hebron. His mother was Abigail, whom David married after the death of her husband Nabal, the Carmelite (&nbsp;2 Samuel 3:3 ). In the corresponding account (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:1 ) he is called "Daniel," the meaning of which name ("God is my judge") points to its having been given in order to commemorate God's judgment upon Nabal (&nbsp;1 Samuel 25:39; compare &nbsp;Genesis 30:6 ). Some suppose that he bore both names, but the [[Septuagint]] reading here <i> '''''Dalouia''''' </i> (1 Ch <i> '''''Damniḗl''''' </i> ), and the identity of the last three letters of the [[Hebrew]] word "Chileab" with the first three of the following word, seems to indicate that the text of Samuel is corrupt. </p>

<p> (Hebrews Kilab´ כַּלְאָב '', Protected'' by the ''Fa'' ther, i.e. ''God;'' Sept. Κελεάβ v. r. Δαλουϊ v α )'','' the second son of king David by Abigail, Nabal's widow (&nbsp;2 Samuel 3:3), called in the parallel passage (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:1) by the equivalent name DANIEL (See [[Daniel]]) (q.v.). The reason of this twofold name is uncertain; but for the rabbinical notions concerning it, and some speculations of his own, see Bochart, ''Hieroz.'' 1:603. </p>
