Exegesis
The prepositional phrase biYerushalayim {בִּירוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם | bîyrōšālāyim} ‘in Jerusalem’ situates these events geographically, underscoring the city’s role in dynastic growth. The English translations preserve the sequential actions as two independent clauses for clarity and to reflect the distributive emphasis on David’s expanding family.
In context — 1 Chronicles 14:3
And David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David fathered more sons and daughters there.
