Ibhar

Ibhar (meaning election or he who is chosen) was one of David's sons born to him during his reign in Jerusalem. He appears in the genealogical lists of 1 Chronicles 3:6 and 2 Samuel 5:15 among the children David fathered in Jerusalem after becoming king over all Israel. The name indicates divine favor or selection, consistent with the broader theological reflection on David's dynasty as chosen by God.

Beyond his inclusion in the royal genealogy, Ibhar receives no individual narrative in Scripture. He stands among a large group of David's sons in Jerusalem — a list that underscores the fulfillment of God's promises to establish David's house — but is otherwise unknown in biblical history.
