What does 1 Chronicles 14:3 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
3. David took more wives at Jerusalem--(See on 2Sa 3:5). His concubines are mentioned (1Ch 3:9), where also is given a list of his children (1Ch 14:5-8), and those born in Jerusalem (2Sa 5:14-16). In that, however, the names of Eliphalet and Nogah do not occur, and Beeliada appears to be the same as Eliada. 1Ch 14:8-17. His Victories over the Philistines.
