The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:23

None of the names in this or the following verse assists as yet in throwing any light upon the questions that arise in this fragment of genealogy. Lord A. C. Hervey would identify Hodaiah ( 1 Chronicles 3:24 ) with Abiud ( Matthew 1:13 ) and with Juda ( Luke 3:26 ), and quotes, for very just confirmation of the possibility so far as the mere names are concerned, Ezra 3:9 ; Nehemiah 11:9 ; compared with Ezra 2:40 ; 1 Chronicles 9:7 . His investigations on the comparison of the... 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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:22

Six - There are only five names in the Hebrew text. The Syriac anti Arabic versions supply “Azariah” between Neariah and Shaphat.The question of the proper arrangement of the genealogy of the descendants of Zerubbabel 1 Chronicles 3:19-24 is important in its bearing on the interesting point of the time at which the canon of the Old Testament was closed. Assuming the average of a generation to be 20 years in the East, the genealogy of the present chapter, drawn out according to the Hebrew text,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 3:16

1 Chronicles 3:16. Zedekiah his son This was another Zedekiah. How seldom has a crown gone in a direct line, from father to son, as it did here, for seventeen generations! This was the recompense of David’s piety. About the captivity, the lineal descent was interrupted, and the crown went from a nephew to an uncle, a presage of the glory’s departing from that house. read more

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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 3:21-22

1 Chronicles 3:21-22. The sons of Shechaniah All these, both parents and their sons blended together, are mentioned as the sons of Hananiah, and branches of the royal stock. Six Including the father. But the Hebrew word, shisha, which is rendered six, may be the proper name of one of the sons of Shemaiah. As the family of David was the most considerable of any of the tribe of Judah, the genealogy of his descendants was preserved with great care and exactness; and is here recorded in... read more

Donald C. Fleming

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
