John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:19-24

And the sons of Pedaiah were, Zerubbabel and Shimei ,.... Here arises a difficulty, since elsewhere Zerubbabel is said to be the son of Shealtiel, Haggai 1:1 some think this is not the same Zerubbabel here as there; so Grotius F21 In Luc. 3. ; but I see no reason for that; but this difficulty may be removed by observing, that if Pedaiah was a son of Salathiel, as Kimchi thinks, then Zerubbabel, being his grandson, may be called his son, as grandsons are sometimes called sons in... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:1

The second , Daniel - In 2 Samuel 3:3 , this person is called Chileab; he probably had two names. The Targum says, "The second, Daniel, who was also called Chileab, because he was in every respect like to his father." The Targumist refers here to the import of the word כלאב ke - le - ab , like to the father. Jarchi says the two names were given to this person because David, having taken Abigail immediately after the death of Nabal, it could not be ascertained whether this child... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:3

By Eglah his wide - The Targum, Jarchi, and others, maintain that this was Michal, the daughter of Saul; but this does not well agree with 2 Samuel 6:23 ; : Michal had no child to the day of her death. Yet she might have had a child before the time that is mentioned above. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:5

Shimea , and Shobab - Solomon is mentioned last, though he was the eldest of these four sons, because the genealogy was to be continued from him. Bath-shua שוע בת is the same as Bath-sheba, שבע בת the ו vau being put by mistake in the former for ב beth in the latter. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:6

Elishama , and Eliphelet - In this and the eighth verse these two names occur twice; some think this is a mistake, but others suppose that two persons of these names died young, and that the next born received the name of the deceased. - See Jarchi. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:8

Nine - There are thirteen if we count the four sons of Bath-sheba, and nine without them; and in the second book of Samuel there are eleven, reckoning the above four, and without them only seven. In the book of Samuel probably only those who were alive were reckoned, while the author of the Chronicles comprises those also who were dead in this enumeration. Jarchi supposes that the duplicate Elishama and Eliphelet are those which increase the regular number seven to nine; and that the dead... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:16

Zedekiah his son - If this be the same who was the last king of Judah, before the captivity, the word son must be taken here to signify successor; for it is certain that Zedekiah was the successor of Jeconiah, and that Zedekiah was the son of Josiah, and not of Jehoiakim. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:17

The sons of Jeconiah - Jeremiah has said ( Jeremiah 22:30 ;) that Jeconiah, or, as he calls him, Coniah, should be childless; but this must refer to his posterity being deprived of the throne, and indeed thus the prophet interprets it himself: For no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah. Assir - Salathiel was not the son of Assir, but of Jeconiah, Matthew 1:12 . Who then was Assir? Possibly nobody; for as the Hebrew אסר ... read more
