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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:5-8

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

And Solomon's son was Rehoboam ,.... From hence to the end of the fourteenth verse, David's successors are reckoned, according to the order of their reign, unto Josiah and his sons: Solomon, Rehoboam, Abia, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joram, Ahaziah, Joash, Amaziah, Azariah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah , in all sixteen. 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:17

And the sons of Jeconiah ,.... For though he was pronounced childless, Jeremiah 22:30 , that respects not his having no children in any sense, but none to succeed him in the kingdom: Assir ; which signifies bound, or a prisoner, because, as Kimchi thinks, he was born in a prison, his father then being a captive in Babylon; but rather it refers to Jeconiah himself, and is an appellation of him, and to be rendered: the sons of Jeconiah the captive : which agrees best with the Hebrew... read more

Malchiram also ,.... That is, was a son of Jeconiah as well as Salathiel, and so the rest that follow: and Pedaiah, and Shenazar, Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah ; Kimchi says these were the sons of Salathiel; but I rather think they were the sons of Jeconiah, and brethren of Salathiel, because of what follows. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 3:19-24

And the sons of Pedaiah were, Zerubbabel and Shimei ,.... Here arises a difficulty, since elsewhere Zerubbabel is said to be the son of Shealtiel, Haggai 1:1 some think this is not the same Zerubbabel here as there; so Grotius F21 In Luc. 3. ; but I see no reason for that; but this difficulty may be removed by observing, that if Pedaiah was a son of Salathiel, as Kimchi thinks, then Zerubbabel, being his grandson, may be called his son, as grandsons are sometimes called sons in... read more
