Haggith; wife of David and mother of Adonijah, name meaning 'festal' or 'born on a feast day'
A proper name meaning 'festal,' Haggith was one of David's wives and the mother of Adonijah, who later attempted to claim the throne. She appears in the succession narrative surrounding Solomon's rise to kingship (1 Kgs 1:5, 11; 2:13) and in the genealogical records of David's sons born at Hebron (2 Sam 3:4; 1 Chr 3:2). The name derives from the root chag ('feast/festival'), suggesting she may have been born during a pilgrimage festival. The Septuagint renders it Angith.
