Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz
- Husband: King Saul (1 Samuel 14:49-51)
- Sons: Jonathan, Ishvi, Malchi-shua, Merab, Michal, Abinadab, and Ish-bosheth. (1 Samuel 14:49-51; 1 Samuel 31:2; 2 Samuel 2:8)
When Saul revealed his murderous anger to Jonathan, he called him a "son of a perverse, rebellious woman" and said that he chose the son of Jesse to his own shame and to the shame of his mother's nakedness. (1 Samuel 20:30-34)
Ahinoam of Jezreel
David took Abigail and Ahinoam of Jezreel as wives, so Saul gave Michal to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim. (1 Samuel 25:39-44)
Ahinoam flees with David to Achish
David feared Saul would kill him, so he took Ahinoam, Abigail of Carmel, and his 600 men to live with Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath, in Philistia, where Saul would surely no longer pursue him. After living in the royal city, Achish gave David Ziklag to live in. They lived in Philistia for a year and 4 months, raiding the enemies of Israel under the pretense of raiding Israel, and gained Achish's trust. (1 Samuel 27)
While David and his men were serving in the Philistinian army against the Israelites, a band of Amalekites overwhelmed Ziklag, burned it with fire, and took captive everyone small and great, including Ahinoam of Jezreel. (1 Samuel 30)
Ahinoam moves to Hebron with King David
When David learned of Saul's death, he inquired of the LORD and went to live in the towns of Hebron with his wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel, and his men. He was anointed there. (2 Samuel 2)
As the house of David grows stronger, he has many sons, including his first son, Amnon, by Ahinoam. (2 Samuel 3)
