Judah and his Canaanite wife Bathshua had three sons: Er, Onan, and Shelah. But the Lord had Er put to death, because he disobeyed and did what the Lord hated.
Bathshua was Judah's wife. After her death, Judah sought comfort with a prostitute. The prostitute turned out to be his daughter-in-law Tamar.
And their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. The sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, three. Abigail bore Amasa, and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.
Most of us know Jesse had seven sons, of whom David was the youngest. However, David also had (at least) two sisters. His sister Abigail had a son named Amasa, and she was married to an Ishmaelite named Jether.
Caleb son of Hezron had children by his wife Azubah, and by Jerioth ; these were her sons, Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath , who bore him Hur.
Azubah was Caleb's wife. She had children, but died early.
After the death of Hezron, in Caleb-ephrathah, Abijah wife of Hezron bore him Ashhur, father of Tekoa.
How Abijah bore Hezron's son after his death is not clear. Given that Hezron married another woman at the age of sixty, we know he was at least sixty when he died. It is possible, that Ashhur was the result of a form of levirate marriage, or Hezron could have impregnated Abijah before his death.
These are the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: the firstborn Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelite ; the second Daniel, by Abigail the Carmelite; the third Absalom, son of Maacah , daughter of King Talmai of Geshur; the fourth Adonijah, son of Haggith .

And Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab after he had sent away his wives Hushim and Baara.
Shararaim must have married Moabite women, then sent them away. The Bible does not address what happened to these women. They may have been taken back into their own families or have been left without provision. Baara did not have children by Shaharaim Shaharaim.
