Chronicles Chapter Three
New King James Version (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 3
This
chapter gives an account of the sons of David
born to him both in Hebron and
in Jerusalem
1 Chronicles 3:1
and of his successors in the kingdom
to the Babylonish captivity
1 Chronicles 3:10
and of his family
to the coming of the Messiah
1 Chronicles 3:17.
1 Chronicles
3:1 Now these were
the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: The firstborn was
Amnon
by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second
Daniel
[a] by Abigail
the Carmelitess;
YLT
1And these were sons of
David
who were born to him in Hebron: the first-born Amnon
of Ahinoam the
Jezreelitess; second Daniel
of Abigail the Carmelitess;
Verses 1-4
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.
1 Chronicles
3:2 2 the
third
Absalom the son of Maacah
the daughter of Talmai
king of Geshur; the
fourth
Adonijah the son of Haggith;
YLT
2the third Absalom
son of
Maachah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; the fourth Adonijah
son of Haggith;
1 Chronicles
3:3 3 the
fifth
Shephatiah
by Abital; the sixth
Ithream
by his wife Eglah.
YLT
3the fifth Shephatiah
of
Abital; the sixth Ithream
of Eglah his wife.
1 Chronicles 3:4 4 These
six were born to him in Hebron. There he reigned seven years and six months
and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.
YLT
4Six have been borne to him
in Hebron
and he reigneth there seven years and six months
and thirty and
three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 3:5 5 And these were born to him
in Jerusalem: Shimea
[b] Shobab
Nathan
and Solomon—four by Bathshua[c] the
daughter of Ammiel.[d]
YLT
5And these were born to him
in Jerusalem: Shimea
and Shobab
and Nathan
and Solomon -- four
of
Bath-Sheba daughter of Ammiel:
Verses 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.
1 Chronicles 3:6 6 Also there were
Ibhar
Elishama
[e] Eliphelet
[f]
YLT
6also Ibhar
and Elishama
and Eliphelet
1 Chronicles 3:7 7 Nogah
Nepheg
Japhia
YLT
7and Nogah
and Nepheg
and
Japhia
1 Chronicles 3:8 8 Elishama
Eliada
[g] and Eliphelet—nine
in all.
YLT
8and Elishama
and Eliada
and Eliphelet
nine.
1 Chronicles 3:9 9 These were
all the sons of David
besides the sons of the concubines
and Tamar their
sister.
YLT
9All [are] sons of David
apart from sons of the concubines
and Tamar their sister.
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.
1 Chronicles 3:10 10 Solomon’s son was
Rehoboam; Abijah[h] was
his son
Asa his son
Jehoshaphat his son
YLT
10And the son of Solomon [is]
Rehoboam
Abijah his son
Asa his son
Jehoshaphat his son
Verses 10-14
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.
1 Chronicles 3:11 11 Joram[i] his son
Ahaziah his son
Joash[j] his son
YLT
11Joram his son
Ahaziah his
son
Joash his son
1 Chronicles 3:12 12 Amaziah his son
Azariah[k] his son
Jotham his son
YLT
12Amaziah his son
Azariah
his son
Jotham his son
1 Chronicles 3:13 13 Ahaz his son
Hezekiah his
son
Manasseh his son
YLT
13Ahaz his son
Hezekiah his
son
Manasseh his son
1 Chronicles 3:14 14 Amon his son
and
Josiah his son.
YLT
14Amon his son
Josiah his
son.
1 Chronicles 3:15 15 The sons of Josiah were
Johanan the firstborn
the second Jehoiakim
the third Zedekiah
and the fourth
Shallum.[l]
YLT
15And sons of Josiah: the
first-born Johanan
the second Jehoiakim
the third Zedekiah
the fourth
Shallum.
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 Shallum: the same with Jehoahaz
who was first made
king in the room of his father; but reigning so short a time
and making so
mean a figure
is mentioned last
see Jeremiah 22:11.
1 Chronicles 3:16 16 The sons of Jehoiakim were
Jeconiah his son and Zedekiah[m] his son.
YLT
16And sons of Jehoiakim:
Jeconiah his son
Zedekiah his son.
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.
1 Chronicles 3:17 17 And the sons of Jeconiah[n] were
Assir
[o] Shealtiel
his son
YLT
17And sons of Jeconiah:
Assir; Salathiel his son;
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 accents:
Salathiel his son; the same that is called Shealtiel
Haggai 1:1 who was
both the proper son of Jeconiah
and who succeeded him
as some think
in the
honour and dignity the king of Babylon raised him to.
1 Chronicles 3:18 18 and
Malchiram
Pedaiah
Shenazzar
Jecamiah
Hoshama
and Nedabiah.
YLT
18also Malchiram and Pedaiah
and Shenazzar
Jecamiah
Hoshama
and Nedabiah.
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.
1 Chronicles 3:19 19 The sons of Pedaiah were
Zerubbabel and Shimei. The sons of Zerubbabel were Meshullam
Hananiah
Shelomith their sister
YLT
19And sons of Pedaiah:
Zerubbabel
and Shimei. And sons of Zerubbabel: Meshullam
and Hananiah
and
Shelomith their sister
Verses 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 GrotiusF21In
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 Scripture; or rather
Salathiel
having no children
adopted Zerubbabel
his brother's son
and made him successor in the
government; so that he was the son of Pedaiah by birth
and of Salathiel by adoption;
or else Salathiel dying without children
his brother Pedaiah
according to the
law
married his widow
and by her had Zerubbabel
who was the proper son of
Pedaiah
and the legal son of Salathiel:
and the sons of Zerubbabel; Meshullam: who is called
Abiud
Matthew 1:13
another son of his
with their father
is mentioned in this verse
and five
more in the next. From hence to the end of the chapter
the genealogy is
carried on from the captivity of Babylon
out of which Zerubbabel came
to the
coming of Christ; and if Ezra was the writer of this book
as is generally
thought
who was contemporary with Zerubbabel
this account must be written by
another hand: and it may be observed
that it is carried on in the same number
of generations as in Matthew; and here it stands thus:
Zerubbabel
Hananiah
Jesaiah
Rephaiah
Arnan
Obadiah
Shecaniah
Shemaiah
Neariah
Elioenai
Anani; in Matthew thus
"Zerubbabel
Abiud
Eliakim
Azor
Sadoc
Achim
Eliud
Eleazar
Matthan
Jacob
Joseph"; the difference in names may be accounted for by their
having two names; and it is remarkable that the Targum makes Anani to be the
King Messiah
who was to be revealed; which
though it makes one generation
less to his time
yet plainly shows that the Jews expected the Messiah to come
at the end of this genealogy
and about the time Jesus the true Messiah did.
Anani is reckoned by other Jews a name of the Messiah
who is said to come in
the clouds of heaven
which "Anani" signifies; see Gill on Daniel 7:13.
1 Chronicles 3:20 20 and Hashubah
Ohel
Berechiah
Hasadiah
and Jushab-Hesed—five in all.
YLT
20and Hashubah
and Ohel
and
Berechiah
and Hasadiah
Jushab-Hesed
five.
1 Chronicles 3:21 21 The sons of Hananiah were
Pelatiah and Jeshaiah
the sons of Rephaiah
the sons of Arnan
the sons of
Obadiah
and the sons of Shechaniah.
YLT
21And sons of Hananiah:
Pelatiah
and Jesaiah
sons of Rephaiah
sons of Arnan
sons of Obadiah
sons
of Shechaniah.
1 Chronicles 3:22 22 The son of Shechaniah was
Shemaiah. The sons of Shemaiah were Hattush
Igal
Bariah
Neariah
and
Shaphat—six in all.
YLT
22And sons of Shechaniah:
Shemaiah; and sons of Shemaiah: Hattush
and Igeal
and Bariah
and Neariah
and Shaphat
six.
1 Chronicles 3:23 23 The sons of Neariah were
Elioenai
Hezekiah
and Azrikam—three in all.
YLT
23And sons of Neariah:
Elioenai
and Hezekiah
and Azrikam
three.
1 Chronicles 3:24 24 The sons of Elioenai were
Hodaviah
Eliashib
Pelaiah
Akkub
Johanan
Delaiah
and Anani—seven in
all.
YLT
24And sons of Elioenai:
Hodaiah
and Eliashib
and Pelaiah
and Akkub
and Johanan
and Delaiah
and
Anani
seven.
