With a show likeHouse of David, Hollywood is always bound to take creative liberties.

What’s the Deal With David’s Mother, Nitzevet, on ‘House of David’?

Rather than introduce a prophet of God to the son that represents his own shame, he hides him.

Yet, this is the very boy whom the Lord has anointed to be the next King of Israel.

Well, not exactly.

In fact, she isn’t even mentioned by name.

According to the biblical account, David was the youngest of eight brothers and two sisters.

His brothers are mentioned in 1 Samuel 17:1214, while his sisters are noted in 1 Chronicles 2:16.

As far as we can tell, this was the entire House of Jesse.

Speculation only gets us so far, so let’s dive back into the text…

It could be that Jesse and David’s mother had relations before they were married.

Additionally, we also know that David’s mother was a godly woman.
