Teaching Points
The Importance of Legacy
The genealogies remind us of the importance of family heritage and the spiritual legacy we leave for future generations. Our lives should reflect values and faith that can be passed down.

Names Reflect Character and Calling
In biblical times, names often signified character or divine purpose. Consider how your identity in Christ shapes your life and calling.

God's Faithfulness Across Generations
The continuity of David's line demonstrates God's faithfulness to His promises. Trust in God's unchanging nature and His plans for your life.

The Role of Worship and Praise
Names like Hodaviah remind us of the centrality of worship in our relationship with God. Cultivate a heart of gratitude and praise in all circumstances.

Restoration and Renewal
Names such as Eliashib and Pelaiah point to God's power to restore and perform wonders. Seek God's restoration in areas of brokenness in your life.(24) The sons of Elioenai . . . Hodaiah.--These sons of Elioenai are the sixth generation from Zerubbabel (536-515 B.C. ), that is to say, they were living about 345 B.C. , under Artaxerxes Ochus. If the reading of the LXX. in 1Chronicles 3:21 be correct, their date is four generations later, or about 225 B.C. The result is to bring down the date of the chronicle a century lower than the best critics approve. (See Introduction.)
