King David's first six brothers are listed in 1 Chronicles 2:13-15: Eliab, Abinadab, Shimea, Nethanel, Raddai and Ozem. His other brother is not named anywhere in The Bible. Elsewhere, we learn that David had a brother named Elihu (1 Chr. 27:18), which may be the name of his seventh brother, or which may simply be a variant form of "Eliab." Also, the Bible speaks of "Shammah/Shimeah/Shimei" as David's brother, but all these are most likely variants of "Shimea" (without doubt this is the case with at least "Shammah" [1 Sam. 17:13]). If his seventh brother is not named in the genealogies, it may be because he died without children.
King David had a minimum of 18 sons and 1 daughter (Tamar). These 19 are named of his numerous wives in the Bible. However, King David clearly had many more sons and daughters than 19 because the offspring from his numerous concubines (an unnamed amount) are also mentioned -- though not by name.
That's probably impossible to answer. Saul (Davids father) was also a king and being like other kings, had many wives, around 300, and around 700 concubines. Sorry, but that's what the bible says.
Sorry, the above answer is wrong. (I clicked "improve answer" because I don't see a "that answer is wrong" button.) The right answer is that David had about 7 brothers that were older than him. (See 1 Samuel 16:10). Saul was not David's father. David's father is a shepherd named Jesse. How many sisters David had...now that's another story.
There were at least 20, but there probably were more because the children of concubines were not recorded.
The exact number is not known as he had many wives.
We do not know the exact number but the bible says 9 .He had several wives.
