Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:22

1 Chronicles 3:22. Six— Five. Houbigant. See Calmet. REFLECTIONS.—For seventeen descents, the crown of Judah went from father to son in a direct line. Just before the captivity, the lineal descent was interrupted. Jeconiah, Assir the captive, 1 Chronicles 5:17. (not a descendant of his, but Jeconiah himself), though he was written childless respecting the succession to the throne, yet seems to have had several children in Babylon, 1 Chronicles 3:17-18. Zerubbabel, here said to be the son of... read more

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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 3:1-24

Genealogies (continued)The genealogies here include the sons of David, his successors on the throne of Judah, and the descendants of Jeconiah (Jehoiachin).1. The sons of David] Some of the names that follow are given differently in the corresponding sections in 2 Samuel 3:2-5; 2 Samuel 5:13-16: cp. also 2 Samuel 14:3-7. 5.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 3:16

(16) Jeconiah (Iah establish !)= Jehoiachin (Iahweh establisheth) = Coniah (Jeremiah 22:24; Jeremiah 22:28—an abbreviation of Jeconiah), was carried captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar (2 Kings 24:15), and Zedekiah his father’s brother, became king in his stead. Hence the supposition that “Zedekiah his son” means “Zedekiah his successor” on the throne. (Comp. margin.) But (1) the phrase “his son” has its natural sense throughout the preceding list; and (2) there really is nothing against the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 3:17

III.—The posterity of Jeconiah after the exile (1 Chronicles 3:17-24). This section is peculiar to the chronicle.(17) Assir.—This word means prisoner, captive; literally, bondman. It so occurs in Isaiah 10:2; Isaiah 24:22. Accordingly the verse may be rendered, “And the sons of Jeconiah when captive—Shealtiel (was) his son.” This translation (1) accords with the Masoretic punctuation, which connects the term assir with Jeconiah; and (2) accounts for the double reference to the offspring of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 3:18

(18) Malchiram also, and Pedaiah.—According to our present Hebrew text these six persons, arranged as two trios, are sons of Jeconiah, and brothers of Shealtiel.Shenazar—Heb., Shen’azzar; LXX., Σανεσάρ—is a compound Babylonian name, like Belteshazzar (Daniel 1:7), of which the last part means “protect,” and the first is, perhaps, “Sin” (comp. Σαναχάριβος), the moon-god. Such a name as “Sin protect” may well have been given to this Jewish prince at the court of Babylon, just as Daniel and his... read more
