The sons of David.10. His line to Zedekiah. 17. The successors of Jeconiah. The descendants of Jeconiah the captive The phrase begins with "The descendants," which in Hebrew is "בְּנֵי" (benei), meaning "sons" or "descendants." This term emphasizes the continuation of a lineage, a critical theme in Chronicles, which underscores God's faithfulness to His covenant promises despite human failure. "Jeconiah," also known as Jehoiachin, was a king of Judah who was taken captive to Babylon. His captivity is a significant historical event, marking the beginning of the Babylonian Exile. The term "the captive" (הָאָסִיר, ha'asir) highlights his status and the consequences of Judah's disobedience. Despite his captivity, the mention of his descendants signifies hope and restoration, as Jeconiah's line is preserved, ultimately leading to the birth of Jesus Christ, fulfilling God's promise to David. Shealtiel his son (17) Assir.--This word means prisoner, captive; literally, bondman. It so occurs in Isaiah 10:2; Isaiah 24:22. Accordingly the verse may be rendered, "And the sons of Jeconiah when captive--Shealtiel (was) his son." This translation (1) accords with the Masoretic punctuation, which connects the term assir with Jeconiah; and (2) accounts for the double reference to the offspring of Jeconiah, first in 1Chronicles 3:16, "Zedekiah his son," and then again here. Zedekiah is thus separated from the sons born to Jeconiah in captivity. The strongest apparent objection against such a rendering is that the expression "the sons of Jeconiah the captive" would require the definite article to be prefixed to the word assir. No doubt it would; but then "the sons of Jeconiah the captive" is not what the chronicler intended to say. He has said what he meant--viz., "the sons of Jeconiah when in captivity" or "as a captive." The Talmudic treatise, Sanhedrin, gives "Assir his son;" but another, the Sedw Olam, does not mention Assir, who is likewise wanting in the genealogy of our Lord (Matthew 1:12; see the Notes there). . . . Verses 17-24. - These verses contain a line of descent brought down to a point not merely posterior to the Exile, but possibly reaching to the time of Alexander. This line, however, through Solomon is lost so soon as the first name, that of Assir, is passed; Salathiel (Authorized Version)or Shealtiel, being descended from David, not through Solomon, but through Nathan, whole brother to Solomon. This Assir is not known from any parallel passage; and Luther, Starke, Bertheau, and others, followed by Zoekler (in Lange, 'Comm. O.T.') translate the name as captive, applying it to Jeconiah. Not all their reasons, however, for this, outweigh one which must be pronounced against it, viz. the absence of the article. The Septuagint and Vulgate versions agree with our own. The greater probability might be that Assir derived his name from being born after Jeconiah was in captivity, and such passages as Isaiah 39:7, Jeremiah 22:30, may throw some light upon the extinction of Solomon's line here, and the transfer of the succession (comp. Numbers 27:11, and see interesting note on the present place in 'Speaker's Commentary'). Salathiel is the Authorized Version incorrect rendering of the Hebrew Shealtiel. In Matthew 1:12 it is said, "And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel;" and in Luke 3:27, "Salathiel, which was the son of Neri." Now, Neri was in the direct line of Nathan. There seems only one way of reconciling these statements - and the method removes similar difficulties in other places also - viz, to distinguish between the descent natural and the descent royal, and then acknowledge that the former was swallowed up, where necessary, of the latter. One as decisive instance of this kind as that before us is most useful to rule other cases. (For an important allusion to the house and family of Nathan's descendants, as well known at the time, see Zechariah 12:12 - a passage probably dating a few years previous to the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.),Parallel Commentaries ...
