7.  What son of David was always referred to as the "son of Haggith"?
(1 Samuel, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles)

Extra:  What does his name mean?

[Soldier4Christ]

The answer is actually in both 1CH and in one choice not listed of 2SA of course 1CH was the correct answer for this question.

1Ch 3:1  Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess:
1Ch 3:2  The third, Absalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur: the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith:


2Sa 3:2  And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
2Sa 3:3  And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
2Sa 3:4  And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; ....

The name Adonijah means lord of Jah or worshipper.

Thank you Pastor Roger!
Here is the reference I had for the meaning of the name:

Biblical context   The Biblical baby name Adonijah is Hebrew in origin and it's meaning is my lord is God or my lord is Jehovah.

Adonijah is pronounced ad-o-nee-jaw.

Adonijah was the fourth son of David by Haggith. He was Solomon's rival as successor to David. Adonijah was also the name of a man from the tribe of Levi who taught the book of law to the inhabitants of Judah.

1 Kings 1:5-53; 2 Chronicles 17:8
Strong's concordance 0138

[Soldier4Christ]

My last sentence was incomplete. It should have said "worshipper of Jah". The word Jah or just the letter Y is used for God. Most Hebrew scholars say that the name Adonijah means "my master is Y".

Strong's however says:

" 138 'Adoniyah ad-o-nee-yaw' original (prolonged) dAdoniyahuw {ad-o-nee- yaw'-hoo}; from 113 and 3050; lord (i.e. worshipper) of Jah; Adonijah, the name of three Israelites:--Adonijah."

In this particular case I think that your reference is more correct than the actual Strong's Concordance.

[HisDaughter]

Yes.  Interesting.  I have heard Jah used for God before but in a totally different context.  I heard it in reference to Rastafarian founder Haile Selassie I, former emperor of Ethiopia.  He was believed to be the promised "returned" Messiah, God incarnate and part of the Holy Trinity.  He claimed to be a direct descendant of Solomon through the Queen of Sheba, I believe.  He was also referred to as HIM, and his full title in office was "His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of Kings of Ethiopia and Elect of God".  He died in 1975, I think and had a successor but I haven't read anything about him.

[Soldier4Christ]

Yes, the Rastafarian are the ones of today that use the word Jah and we know where they got it from. The Ethiopians still use a form of Hebrew even though it is mixed with Arabic and Assyrian.
