The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:19

Meshullam . Though this name recurs, and very frequently, in Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah, yet the person here denoted by it—son of Zerubbabel—is found here only. Hananiah , 1.q. Joanna of Luke 3:27 , the names being the same, but with the component parts transposed, as in instances already given above. In the Gospel, Hananiah appears as grandson of Zorobabel, Rhesa intervening. Shelomith . This person is mentioned here only. The word, though evidently a feminine form, is found for... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:17

Assir - Perhaps born in the captivity, and therefore so named, who either (died young, or was made a eunuch (Isaiah 39:7; compare Jeremiah 22:30). After Assir’s decease, or mutilation, the line of Solomon became extinct, and according to the principles of the Jewish law Numbers 27:8-11 the inheritance passed to the next of kin, who were Salathiel and his brethren, descendants from David by the line of Nathan. Luke in calling Salathiel “the son of Neri” Luke 3:27, gives his real, or natural,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:19

Zerubbabel, elsewhere always called “the son of Salathiel,” was only Salathiel’s heir and legal son, being naturally his nephew, the son of his brother, Pedaiah. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 3:17

1 Chronicles 3:17. The sons of Jeconiah, Assir The word אסר , Assir, means captive, or prisoner, and does not appear to be a person’s name here, but to be added to signify that Jeconiah begat his son Salathiel when he was a captive in Babylon, according to Matthew 1:12. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 3:18-19

1 Chronicles 3:18-19. Malchiram also, and Pedaiah These were the sons of Salathiel: and there is therefore something to be supplied, to make the sense of this verse plain; namely, The sons of Salathiel were Malchiram, &c. The sons of Pedaiah, Zerubbabel, &c. But, Luke 3:27, Zerubbabel is called the son of Salathiel; and therefore he must have been the son of Pedaiah only by adoption; or else Salathiel dying without children, Pedaiah begat Zerubbabel of his wife, and so raised up... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:1-24

Descendants of Judah and Simeon (2:1-4:43)Having listed the children of Jacob (Israel) starting with the eldest son Reuben, the writer immediately turns his attention to the tribe of Judah, the tribe that produced the dynasty of David (2:1-17). He traces the line of David first, then goes back to deal with a number of other important people in Judah and lists their descendants (18-55). On completing this, he returns to list the family of David (3:1-9), the descendants of David who reigned after... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:17

17. the sons of Jeconiah; Assir—rather, "Jeconiah the prisoner," or "captive." This record of his condition was added to show that Salathiel was born during the captivity in Babylon (compare :-). Jeconiah was written childless ( :-), a prediction which (as the words that follow explain) meant that this unfortunate monarch should have no son succeeding him on the throne. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:18

18. Malchiram also—As far as Jeconiah, everything is plain; but there is reason to suspect that the text in the subsequent verses has been dislocated and disarranged. The object of the sacred historian is to trace the royal line through Zerubbabel; yet, according to the present reading, the genealogical stem cannot be drawn from Jeconiah downwards. The following arrangement of the text is given as removing all difficulties [DAVIDSON, Hermeneutics]:— 1 Chronicles 3:17. And the sons of Jeconiah... read more
