Could you tell me who King David’s mother was?

Question:

Could you please tell me who King David's mother was?

Thank you so much.

Answer:

The name of David's mother isn't recorded in the Bible. It is mentioned in Jewish traditions, recorded in the Talmud, where it is declared to be Nitzevet. Whether this is accurate is impossible to determine.

There are many occasions when the names of people are not recorded in the Bible. One example is Genesis 5:3 which records that Adam had other sons and daughters, but their names aren't given. Another is in Job 1:2, where we are told Job had seven sons and three daughters. Again, their names aren't recorded.
