1 Chron 3:1–24 The genealogy of Ram (2:10–17) is resumed in this list of David’s descendants. There are three distinct sections: David’s children (3:1–9); Solomon and the kings of Judah (vv. 10–16); and the postexilic generations (vv. 17–24).

1 Chron 3:1–9 Drawn mainly from 2 Sam. 3:2–5 (see note) and 5:14–16, with a few textual variations (Daniel for “Chileab,” and the addition of Eliphelet, 1 Chron. 3:6, and Nogah, v. 7). The narrative omits the troubles of David’s family (2 Samuel 13–19; 1 Kings 1), but mentioning Amnon, Absalom, Adonijah, and Tamar implies readers are familiar with these accounts.

1 Chron 3:10–16 The complete Davidic line down to the exile follows the spelling in Kings (Azariah is a variant of “Uzziah,” 2 Chronicles 26). The pattern is altered here because Josiah was succeeded by three of his sons, but not according to their birth order: Shallum (throne name: Jehoahaz), replaced by Jehoiakim (who was succeeded by his own son, Jeconiah [a variant of “Jehoiachin”]), then Zedekiah, the last king of Judah.

1 Chron 3:17–24 The line of David’s descendants continued even after the exile, fulfilling God’s promise of an enduring “house” for him, through which God’s kingdom would be eternally established (17:10b, 14). Zerubbabel played a central role in restoring the temple (Ezra 5:2; Hag. 1:12–15). Possibly Ezra 3:2, which calls Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, implies an adoption or levirate marriage (see note on Matt. 22:24).

1 Chron 3:19 sons of Zerubbabel. Matthew 1:13 and Luke 3:27 both trace Jesus’ descent from David through sons of Zerubbabel other than those mentioned here, apparently using other historical records.
