The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 3:1-24

Some Strange Names The Sons of David Zerubbabel 1 Chronicles 3:0 Who has not in a foreign hostelry anxiously looked over the visitors' list in the hope that he might find some familiar name, and so put himself upon the track of a friendly predecessor in the journey which he is pursuing? Who has not also wandered through an unknown cemetery, questioning every tombstone, if haply he might detect some name which would awaken the memories of his youth, or connect him with the associations of his... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:10-24

The register from Solomon is here made in a correct succession, even to the time beyond the captivity. And it is remarkable how long, David's race, the sceptre continued in his family. It was broken in upon, indeed, at the captivity; but I believe not before seventeen kings had sprung from him in a regular succession from father to son. The childish tradition of the Jews, that Anani, which is the last-mentioned name in this Chapter, meant the king Messiah, because the Prophet Daniel hath a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:1-24

The tables now continue to deal with Judah, but have special reference to David. The names of nineteen of his sons are given. Six of them were born in Hebron, and four were the sons of Bathshua. There were nine others. From these nineteen, one, Solomon, is selected; and the descent is traced through him, through the kings of Judah, and right on into the period of captivity. The peculiar quality of the Book of Chronicles is very evidently marked in this chapter in that in the reference to... read more

Chapter 3Now we center in on chapter three on David's family and it lists all of the children that were born of David in Hebron there in chapter three.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 3:1-24

1 Chronicles 3:10 . Solomon’s son was Rehoboam. Here follows a list of the royal family. But where are they now? Let men rejoice rather that their names are written in heaven. 1 Chronicles 3:17 . The sons of Jeconiah are eight. Against this prince the Lord by Jeremiah pronounced a curse, that he should both lose his throne and all his children. Hence his sons are supposed to have perished by sickness, and the sword; and that the Salathiel mentioned in Matthew 1:12, was his adopted... read more
