1 Chronicles 3:15

_AND THE SONS OF JOSIAH WERE, THE FIRSTBORN JOHANAN, THE SECOND JEHOIAKIM, THE THIRD ZEDEKIAH, THE FOURTH SHALLUM._ Zedekiah - is called the son of Josiah, cf. Jeremiah 1:3; Jeremiah 37:1, but, 2 Chronicles 36:19 he is described as the brother of Jehoiachin, who was the son of Jehoiachim, and consequently the grandson of Josiah. Words expressive of affinity or relationship are used with great latitude in the Hebrew. SHALLUM. No king of this name is mentioned in the history of Josiah's sons (2 Kings 14:1; 2 Kings 23:1

Of the sons of Josiah, Johanan, “the first-born,” who is mentioned in this place only, must, it would seem, have died before his father, or with him at Megiddo; and Shallum (also called Jehoahaz, marginal note and reference) was considerably older than Zedekiah, and was consequently the third, and not the fourth, son. He is perhaps assigned the fourth place here by way of intentional degradation. Compare Jeremiah 22:10; Ezekiel 19:3....

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 3:1 The whole of this chapter is occupied with the descendants of DAVID: the first nine verses of it with his own sons, classified according to the place of their birth, Hebron or Jerusalem; the remaining verses with the line of kings of his house to Jeconiah and Zedekiah (1 Chronicles 3:16), the grandsons of Zerubbabel (1 Chronicles 3:21), and descendants of Shechaniah (1 Chronicles 3:24). To the seven years and six months (2 Samuel 2:11)

AND THE SONS OF JOSIAH WERE, THE FIRSTBORN JOHANAN,.... Of whom we nowhere else read; he probably died before his father Josiah: THE SECOND JEHOIAKIM: whose name was Eliakim, changed for the former by the king of Egypt, when, he deposed his younger brother, and set him on the throne, 2 Kings 23:24 THE THIRD ZEDEKIAH; whose name was Mattaniah, but changed by the king of Babylon, when he placed him on the throne in the room of his brother's son, 2 Kings 24:17, THE FOURTH SHALLUM: the same with Jehoahaz, who was first made king in the room of his father; but reigning so short a time, and making so mean a figure, is mentioned last, see Jeremiah 22:11....

CHAPTER 3 FROM DAVID TO ZEDEKIAH _ 1. The sons of David (1 Chronicles 3:1)_ 2. David's line to Zedekiah (1 Chronicles 3:10) 3. The sons of Jeconiah (1 Chronicles 3:16) Six sons were born to David during his reign in Hebron. Four are mentioned as the offspring from Bath-shua, another name for Bath-sheba (2 Samuel 11:3). Then follow the names of other nine sons. As the name Elishama appears twice, it has been suggested that one is Elishua (2 Samuel 5:15). Eglah is called David's wife. Some cl

PART I (1 Chronicles 1-9). GENEALOGICAL LISTS, TOGETHER WITH GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTES. These Chapter s form a general introduction to the whole work. They contain the following genealogies, often in an incomplete form: Adam to Israel (1 Chronicles 1:1 to 1 Chronicles 2:2) with the exception of Cain's descendants (Genesis 4:16) the whole material is taken from Genesis 1-36; Judah (1 Chronicles 2:3); David (1 Chronicles 3:1); Judah again, and made up of fragments ...

JOHANAN. Or, Jehoahaz. 2 Kings 23:30. JEHOIAKIM. Called Eliakim by his father, but Jehoiakim by Pharaoh-nechoh, king of Egypt (2 Kings 23:34). ZEDEKIAH. The same as Mattaniah. Compare 2 Kings 24:17; 2 Kings 24:18. He was the last king of Judah. SHALLUM. The same as Jehoahaz, the successor of Josiah (Jer 22:11. 2 Kings 23:31; 2 Kings 23:34)....

The Line of Davidic Kings Two things are to be noted in this list: (1) Johanan's name is given in 1 Chronicles 3:15, though he was never king, (2) Zedekiah's name appears to be _twice_given, once among the sons of Josiah (1 Chronicles 3:15) and again in his place according to the succession (1 Chronicles 3:16)....
