James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:1-24

GENEALOGIES AND PEDIGREES INTRODUCTION With this begins the study of those historical books of the Old Testament written shortly after the return from the Babylonian captivity, the remainder of the series including 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. “Chronicles” means “diaries” or “journal,” and the books recapitulate sacred history from the time of Adam, in which the earlier books of the Old Testament are drawn upon and occasionally supplemented. The Holy Spirit, who is the real... read more

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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:21

Son. Hebrew, "sons of Hananias, Phaltias, and Jesacias, the sons of Raphias, the sons of Arnan,...( 22 ) the sons of Sechenias, Semeia, &c." But the Septuagint and Syriac have read in a more intelligible manner, (Calmet) intimating that these people were lineally descended from each other, (Haydock) while the Hebrew leaves us ignorant of the names of the sons of Rephaias, &c.

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
