Ahinoam is a name found in the Hebrew Bible, primarily associated with two women. One of them was the wife of King Saul, the first king of Israel, and the mother of his son Ish-bosheth. She is mentioned in the context of Saul's reign and the early history of Israel. The other Ahinoam was the wife of David, the future king of Israel, and the mother of his son Amnon. This Ahinoam is noted for her role during David's time as a fugitive and later as king, highlighting the complexities of his family dynamics.
