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.
