Notes

1 Chronicles 3:21

The descendants of Hananiah...Shecaniah: In Hebrew, all names are listed as "the sons" of Hananiah, suggesting one generation. However, many ancient manuscripts and translations suggest the list spans several generations. They translate "sons of" (Hebrew beney) as "son of" (Hebrew beno). This genealogy then covers several generations from the time of Zerubbabel and his son Hananiah.

1 Chronicles 3:17–23

This part of David's family tree goes up to about 400 BC.

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:

  1. David’s sons (1 Chronicles 3:1–9)

  2. The kings of Judah up to Jehoiachin and Zedekiah (1 Chronicles 3:10–16), who were exiled to Babylon

  3. The descendants of Jehoiachin up to the Chronicler's time (1 Chronicles 3:17–24)
