Nahash
We only know that Scripture mentions Zeruiah and Abigail as sisters of David and daughters of Nahash (instead of Jesse). Various explanations have been offered.
- The daughters of Nahash could have been adopted and raised by Jesse.
- Nahash could be another name for Jesse.
Since we don't have any other links from Nahash to Jesse, we followed the 1st option and made Zeruiah and Abigail half-sisters of David.
