Malchiram
The name "Malchiram" can be translated as "my king is exalted" or "king of elevation." This name reflects the high regard and reverence for God as the ultimate king. In the context of the genealogies, it serves as a reminder of the divine kingship that overshadows earthly rule. The name itself is a testament to the faith and hope in God's sovereign plan, even during the times of exile and restoration.

Pedaiah
Meaning "Yahweh has ransomed" or "Yahweh redeems," Pedaiah's name is a profound declaration of God's redemptive power. This is particularly significant in the post-exilic context of 1 Chronicles, where the return from Babylonian captivity is seen as an act of divine redemption. The name Pedaiah serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His covenant people, emphasizing the theme of deliverance and restoration.

Shenazzar
The name "Shenazzar" is less common and its meaning is not entirely clear, but it may be related to the Akkadian name "Sin-ab-uzur," meaning "Sin (the moon god) protect the father." This reflects the cultural and religious influences during the Babylonian exile. The inclusion of such a name in the genealogy highlights the complex interplay between the Israelites and the surrounding cultures, yet it also underscores the enduring identity of God's people amidst foreign influences.

Jekamiah
Translated as "Yahweh raises" or "Yahweh establishes," Jekamiah's name is a powerful affirmation of God's ability to uplift and establish His people. In the historical context of the Chronicles, this name would resonate with the community's hope for stability and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder that despite the challenges faced by the Israelites, God remains the one who raises and sustains His chosen people.

Hoshama
Meaning "Yahweh hears," the name Hoshama is a testament to God's attentiveness to the cries and prayers of His people. This is particularly poignant in the context of the Chronicler's audience, who would have been seeking assurance of God's presence and responsiveness during their return and rebuilding efforts. The name underscores the intimate relationship between God and His people, assuring them that their petitions do not go unheard.

Nedabiah
The name "Nedabiah" can be translated as "Yahweh is generous" or "Yahweh gives freely." This reflects the abundant grace and provision of God towards His people. In the genealogical record, it serves as a reminder of the blessings and generosity of God, even in times of hardship and uncertainty. The name encapsulates the hope and trust in God's continued benevolence and care for His covenant community.

(18) Malchiram also, and Pedaiah.--According to our present Hebrew text these six persons, arranged as two trios, are sons of Jeconiah, and brothers of Shealtiel.

Shenazar--Heb., Shen'azzar; LXX., ???????--is a compound Babylonian name, like Belteshazzar (Daniel 1:7), of which the last part means "protect," and the first is, perhaps, "Sin" (comp. ???????????), the moon-god. Such a name as "Sin protect" may well have been given to this Jewish prince at the court of Babylon, just as Daniel and his three companions received idolatrous designations of the same sort from Nebuchadnezzar. This fact seems to support our rendering of the word Assir (1Chronicles 3:17).

Hoshama.--A contraction of Jehoshama (Iahweh hath heard), like Coniah for Jeconiah.

Verse 18. - Of the name Malchiram and five following, it must be left still doubtful whose sons they were - whether of Jeconiah (comp. again 2 Kings 24:12, 15; Jeremiah 22:30) or of Neri as possibly brothers of Salathiel, or of neither of these. The first of these suppositions seems almost untenable, the second seems unlikely enough, and the exceeding prevalence of a corrupt text would strongly favour the third supposition. At the same time, it may be observed that ver. 19 proves that the names must belong to the royal succession, and indicates that, whoever Salathiel was in such aspect, that Pedaiah was, who becomes father of Zerubbabel. The verses that follow are thought by Eichhorn, Dahler, Keil, and some others to be an interpolation of later date, chiefly on account of the point to which the genealogy is brought.
