Explaining Name Variations
Commentators explain that names in this verse differ from other accounts (e.g., Bathsheba is called Bathshua, and her father Eliam is Ammiel). This was common in ancient texts. Scholars note that name elements were often transposed (Ammiel/Eliam) or had slight sound shifts (Bathsheba/Bathshua), and these variations do not represent a contradiction.
