Notes

1 Chronicles 3:1–9

The list of David's sons comes from information in the book of Samuel (2 Samuel 3:2–5; 5:14–16). The list separates the sons born while David ruled in Hebron from those born in Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 3:1–24

The genealogy of David continues from the genealogy of Ram (1 Chronicles 2:10–17), listing David as the seventh son of Jesse (2:15). David’s genealogy has three parts:

David’s sons (1 Chronicles 3:1–9)
The kings of Judah up to Jehoiachin and Zedekiah (1 Chronicles 3:10–16), who were exiled to Babylon
The descendants of Jehoiachin up to the Chronicler's time (1 Chronicles 3:17–24)
