The sons of David.10. His line to Zedekiah. 17. The successors of Jeconiah. Solomon’s son was Rehoboam: Rehoboam was the son of Solomon and succeeded him as king of Israel. His reign marked the division of the united kingdom into two: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. This division was a fulfillment of the prophecy given to Solomon due to his idolatry (1 Kings 11:11-13). Rehoboam's harsh policies and refusal to listen to wise counsel led to the secession of the ten northern tribes (1 Kings 12:1-19). This event is significant in biblical history as it set the stage for the separate histories of the northern and southern kingdoms. Abijah was his son: Asa his son: Jehoshaphat his son: Persons / Places / Events 1. SolomonThe son of King David and Bathsheba, Solomon was the third king of Israel, known for his wisdom, wealth, and building the First Temple in Jerusalem. 2.

Teaching Points The Importance of Godly LeadershipThe kings listed in this verse had varying degrees of faithfulness to God. Their leadership had significant impacts on the spiritual and political state of the nation. This highlights the importance of seeking God's guidance in leadership roles. Generational Influence The lineage from Solomon to Jehoshaphat shows how the faith and actions of one generation can influence the next. It encourages us to consider the legacy we are leaving for future generations. The Consequences of Division Rehoboam's reign led to the division of the kingdom, illustrating the consequences of poor decisions and the importance of unity in the body of Christ. Faithfulness in Adversity Asa and Jehoshaphat faced challenges but remained faithful to God. Their accounts encourage us to trust in God during difficult times and to seek His guidance.

What Does 1 Chronicles 3:10 Mean Solomon’s son was Rehoboam• 1 Chronicles 3:10 begins, “Solomon’s son was Rehoboam…” The chronicler is reminding readers that God’s covenant with David (2 Samuel 7:12-16) continued intact, even after Solomon’s failings (1 Kings 11:4-13). • Rehoboam’s early choice to rule harshly (1 Kings 12:13-16; 2 Chronicles 10:13-19) split the kingdom, yet the line of promise stayed with him in Judah. • Despite his unsteady heart (2 Chronicles 12:1), God upheld His word: “yet for the sake of David… I will give him one tribe” (1 Kings 11:13). Rehoboam’s reign proves that the Davidic line depends on God’s faithfulness, not human perfection. Abijah was his son • Next we read, “Abijah was his son.” Abijah (also called Abijam) reigned only three years (1 Kings 15:1-3). Scripture records both failure (“his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God”) and faith (2 Chronicles 13:4-12, where he boldly declares, “God Himself is with us as our head”). • God granted Abijah victory over Israel (2 Chronicles 13:13-18), underscoring 2 Samuel 7:15: “My loving devotion will not depart from him.” The brief reign still showcases God’s preserving grace. Asa his son • “Asa his son” follows. Asa ruled forty-one years and “did what was right in the eyes of the LORD” (1 Kings 15:11-14). • Highlights of Asa’s walk: – Removed idols and renewed the altar (2 Chronicles 14:2-5). – Cried to the LORD in battle: “O LORD, none but You can help the powerless against the mighty” (2 Chronicles 14:11). – Led Judah into covenant renewal (2 Chronicles 15:8-15). • Later, Asa faltered by trusting a foreign alliance (2 Chronicles 16:2-9), yet even his mixed record cannot derail the covenant line. God’s promise stands stronger than human inconsistencies. Jehoshaphat his son • Finally, “Jehoshaphat his son.” Jehoshaphat walked “in the ways of his father David” (2 Chronicles 17:3-4) and fortified Judah in both faith and defense. • Notable moments: – Sent officials to teach the Book of the Law throughout Judah (2 Chronicles 17:7-9). – When Moab and Ammon attacked, he prayed, “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You” (2 Chronicles 20:12). God answered with a miraculous victory (20:17-22), reinforcing Psalm 132:11: “The LORD swore an oath to David… one of your own descendants I will set on your throne.” – His one major misstep—an alliance with Ahab (2 Chronicles 18)—drew prophetic rebuke, yet mercy prevailed (2 Chronicles 19:1-3). summary 1 Chronicles 3:10 is more than a genealogical footnote; it is a four-generation reminder that God keeps His word. From Rehoboam’s division, through Abijah’s brief reign, Asa’s reforms, and Jehoshaphat’s faith-filled leadership, the Davidic line endures. Each king’s story mixes success and failure, yet God’s covenant faithfulness remains unwavering, pointing forward to the ultimate Son of David whose throne is forever (Luke 1:32-33). II.--The kings of the house of David, as otherwise known from the books of Kings (1Chronicles 3:10-16).(10) Rehoboam.--So LXX. ??????. Heb., R?hab-'?m ("the Kinsman," i.e., God hath enlarged). Abia.--LXX., ????; Heb., Abiy?h (Iah is father), of which Abijam (Abiy?m) is a mimmated form. Asa.--Healer. Jehoshaphat.--Iahweh judgeth. Verses 10-16. - The line of royal descent from David, is now rapidly carried down in these verses - first, as far as good King Josiah, sixteen generations in all (omitting, quite consistently, Athalia, who reigned by her own usurpation for six years on the death of her son Azariah); and then, by four successions (viz. two brothers, sons of Josiah, and a grandson and great-grandson of Josiah), to the Captivity. Verse 10. - Though the Authorized Version has Abia the Hebrew word is אֲבִיָּה both here and in 2 Chronicles 13:1, 23 (or Authorized Version, 14:1), in both of which passages, as also elsewhere, our Authorized Version has Abijah. Another form is Abijam (אֲבִיָּם), as in 1 Kings 14:31 and elsewhere. A corrupt form (אֲבִיָּחוּ) is found in 2 Chronicles 13:20. We have the name in the New Testament genealogy (Matthew 1:7, 8).Parallel Commentaries ...
