1 Chronicles 3

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3

Of all the families of Israel none was so illustrious as the family of David. That is the family which was mentioned in the foregoing chapter, 1 Chron. 2:15. Here we have a full account of it. I. David's sons, 1 Chron. 3:1-9. II. His successors in the throne as long as the kingdom continued, 1 Chron. 3:10-16. III. The remains of his family in and after the captivity, 1 Chron. 3:17-24. From this family, ?as concerning the flesh, Christ came.? read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:1-9

We had an account of David's sons, 2 Sam. 3:2-5; 5:14-16 1. He had many sons; and no doubt wrote as he thought, Ps. 127:5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of these arrows. 2. Some of them were a grief to him, as Amnon, Absalom, and Adonijah; and we do not read of any of them that imitated his piety or devotion except Solomon, and he came far short of it. 3. One of them, which Bath-sheba bore to him, he called Nathan, probably in honour of Nathan the prophet, who reproved him for his... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:10-24

David having nineteen sons, we may suppose them to have raised many noble families in Israel whom we never hear of in the history. But the scripture gives us an account only of the descendants of Solomon here, and of Nathan, Luke 3:31 The rest had the honour to be the sons of David; but these only had the honour to be related to the Messiah. The sons of Nathan were his fathers as man, the sons of Solomon his predecessors as king. We have here, 1. The great and celebrated names by which the... read more

Now these were the sons of David ,.... The six following born in Hebron, who are reckoned in the same order as in 2 Samuel 3:2 , only here the second son is called Daniel, who there goes by the name of Chileab; he had two names, the reason of which see there; and here David's wife, Eglah, is said in the Targum to be Michal, Saul's daughter; see Gill on 2 Samuel 3:5 , to which is added an account of his reign both in Hebron and Jerusalem, agreeably to 2 Samuel 5:5 . read more

And these were born unto him in Jerusalem ,.... Whose names follow, in all nine; there are but seven mentioned in 2 Samuel 5:14 the reason of which see in the notes there; See Gill on 2 Samuel 5:14 . See Gill on 2 Samuel 5:15 . See Gill on 2 Samuel 5:16 . it may be observed that Bathsheba is here called Bathshua, and her father Ammiel, whose name is Eliam in 2 Samuel 11:3 , names of much the same signification. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:9

These were all the sons of David ,.... By his wives: beside the sons of the concubines ; who are not reckoned, and how many they were is not known; he had ten concubines at least, 2 Samuel 15:16 and 2 Samuel 20:3 . And Tamar their sister ; not the sister of the sons of the concubines, but of his other sons, and only of Absalom by the mother's side, of whom see 2 Samuel 13:1 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:15

And the sons of Josiah were, the firstborn Johanan ,.... Of whom we nowhere else read; he probably died before his father Josiah: the second Jehoiakim : whose name was Eliakim, changed for the former by the king of Egypt, when, he deposed his younger brother, and set him on the throne, 2 Kings 23:24 . the third Zedekiah ; whose name was Mattaniah, but changed by the king of Babylon, when he placed him on the throne in the room of his brother's son, 2 Kings 24:17 , the fourth... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:16

And the sons of Jehoiakim; Jeconiah his son, Zedekiah his son. This is not the Zedekiah mentioned in the preceding verse; for he was not the son but the uncle of Jeconiah, unless he should be called his son because he succeeded him in the kingdom; but he seems to be another of that name, nowhere else mentioned, and not the son of Jeconiah in any sense; he is not reckoned among them in the following verses, but of Jehoiakim. read more
