[Avodah] Dovid Hamelech had 400 children from yefas toars

[Marty Bluke]

That’s not what the Gemara says. It says explicitly that they were Dovid’s
children. I wish I could paste Hebrew for the exact text. I looked at the
major mefarshim on the daf I didn’t see any that said they weren’t Dovids
children.
